Abstract Biomasses of methylotrophic bacteria, yielded by biotechnological processes as waste products, can represent a source of ubiquinones, especially of the ubiquinone-10. Possibilities for the separation of ubiquinones were studied on waste biomasses from the microbial production of gluconic acid, from the production of intracellular poly-beta-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) and from the sewage treatment. The ubiquinones are extracted with supercritical CO2 in the presence of methanol or ethanol as entrainer. The separation of ubiquinones with supercritical extraction was more effective than with conventional extraction methods. The advantages are especially the low extract quantities and the high ubiquinone content in the extracts. The crude ubiquinones can be purified by using the preparative HPLC technique.
