Abstract
A process for extraction of phytochemicals from vegetation liquor derived from oil-bearing fruit including: contacting the vegetation liquor with a material that preferentially adsorbs or absorbs oleaginous parts; filtering the vegetation liquor to yield an oleaginous retentate and a colloidal aqueous solution; and filtering the colloidal aqueous solution obtained from the vegetation liquor, with a hollow fibre filter, wherein the hollow fibre filter is configured to remove molecules above 10000 Daltons in molecular weight and allows molecules 10000 Daltons or less to pass through as aqueous permeate; wherein the aqueous permeate comprises phytochemical.

A process for extraction of phytochemicals from vegetation liquor derived from oil-bearing fruit comprising:
- a) contacting said vegetation liquor with a material that preferentially adsorbs or absorbs oleaginous parts;
- b) filtering said vegetation liquor to yield an oleaginous retentate and a colloidal aqueous solution;
- and
- c) filtering said colloidal aqueous solution obtained from said vegetation liquor, with a hollow fibre filter, wherein said hollow fibre filter is configured to remove molecules above 10000 Daltons in molecular weight and allows molecules 10000 Daltons or less to pass through as aqueous permeate;
- wherein said aqueous permeate comprises phytochemical.
A process for extraction of phytochemicals from vegetation liquor derived from palm fruit comprising:
- a) centrifuging said vegetation liquor to give a light phase, a sediment phase and an aqueous phase,
- b) recovering said aqueous phase;
- and
- c) filtering said aqueous phase with a hollow fibre filter, wherein said membrane filter is configured to remove molecules above 10000 Daltons in molecular weight to yield an aqueous permeate comprising phytochemicals.
