Abstract
Provided are methods for extraction of various agents, e.g. active agent, from a plant source, specifically with the use of extraction formulations which are based on micellar liquid systems.
Claims31
A process for extraction of a lipophilic agent from a plant source, the process comprising:
- (a) obtaining a first mixture comprising a first quantity of a plant source containing the lipophilic agent and a first quantity of an extraction medium, the extraction medium comprising at least one oil, at least one hydrophilic surfactant, at least co-surfactant and optionally at least one co-solvent;
- (b) homogenizing the first mixture;
- and
- (c) separating the homogenized mixture into a biomass slurry and an agent-loaded medium.
