BIOMASS EXTRACTS AND METHODS THEREOF

摘要

The invention provides novel and improved methods that allow effective capture of valuable active ingredients in biomass (e.g., DDGS) at cost-effective commercial scale. The invention also provides novel compositions of active ingredients with unique properties (e.g., nutritional values and enhanced bioavailability).

主权项

1. A process for extracting one or more active ingredients from a biomass, comprising:
contacting the biomass with a solvent A under a condition and for a time sufficient to extract the one or more active ingredients from the biomass into the solvent A, thereby giving rise to a residual biomass I and a liquid phase comprising the solvent A and the extracted one or more active ingredients; separating the residual biomass I and the liquid phase comprising the solvent A and the extracted one or more active ingredients; and removing the solvent A from the liquid phase to yield an extract composition comprising the one or more active ingredients as a concentrated mixture or in substantially pure forms.
