Abstract

Various aspects of this patent document relate to compositions that comprise an anion that is the conjugate base of a hydrophobic molecule that has a pKa, for example, of at least 7 and no greater than 12. These compositions display improved properties when formulated to interact with an organism because the anions carry negative charges that allows them to both dissolve in water-miscible liquids and maximize their surface area. Interaction with an organism results in at least partial conversion of the anion into the hydrophobic molecule after which the hydrophobic molecule partitions out of a water-miscible liquid and into the organism.

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and systems for extracting plant oil from plant material. A system may comprise a microwave emitter, an extraction chamber, and a cooling chamber. Microwave radiation emitted by the microwave emitter may dielectrically heat a microwave absorbing agent, which may heat the plant oil of the plant material. Plant oil of the plant material may be volatized in the extraction chamber and may be directed into the cooling chamber to be condensed.

Abstract

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to methods and systems for extracting oil from plant material. A system may comprise a gas moving device, an extraction chamber, and a condensation surface. Oil of the plant material may be volatized in the extraction chamber and then propelled by the gas moving device to the condensation surface to be collected. In various embodiments, the systems and methods allow the extraction of oil from plant material with little or no solvent.

Abstract

A system for extracting oil from plant material includes a gas moving device propelling a gas stream, the gas stream being a stream of air or gas with or without entrained vapor, solids or droplets of liquid therein. The gas stream is directed through an extraction chamber, which is operable to volatize at least a portion of an oil from a plant material such that the volatilized oil is disposed in the gas stream as an extracted oil. A collection chamber is in communication with the extraction chamber such that the gas stream flows through the collection chamber. The collection chamber has collection solvent operable to collect at least a portion of the extracted oil from the gas stream. A liquid collector is in fluid communication with the collection chamber for collecting at least a portion of the collection solvent and extracted oil.

IPC Classes  ?

  • A23L 33/105 - Plant extracts, their artificial duplicates or their derivatives
  • B01D 11/02 - Solvent extraction of solids
  • C11B 1/10 - Production of fats or fatty oils from raw materials by extracting
  • C11B 9/00 - Essential oilsPerfumes

Abstract

An apparatus for extracting an oil from plant material includes an extraction chamber for plant material. The plant material is exposed to a heated gas stream with a temperature sufficient to volatilize on oil from the plant material. The gas stream is rapidly cooled to liquefy the oil into entrained droplets. The oil is collected with a collection solvent.
