Isolation of bio-based products

Technology for the concentration and isolation of valuable products from biomass and side products from agriculture

Extraction is an important technology to isolate or concentrate important ingredients for health and beauty care as well as pharma applications. Choosing the best technology and the most efficient processes has a significant impact on product quality and selectivity. Process intensification through microwave technology represents an important improvement of the biorefinery concept and “green” extraction. Via this process antioxidants like polyphenols, hydroytyrosol from residues of the olive oil production or from olive leaves can be extracted by water or ethanol. Solvents like carbohydrates of chlorinated extraction media can be avoided. Pectin and essential oils can be isolated from citrus peels as well. In addition, high quality vitamins (tocopherols), squalene, squalane and sterols from deodorizer distillates oil (DDO) can be made available via microwave technology. Scholz InnoChem develops cost effective technologies and processes for isolation of high valuable actives from biomass. Other technologies like ultra sound, hydrodynamic cavitation of milling can be combined with the optimized microwave units to further increase the effectiveness of the extraction process.
