1. A method of preparing a plant extract comprising the steps of:
combining a fruit core from a flowering plant, wherein the fruit core is substantially free of: the fruit peel, the fruit ends, and any discoloration, bruises, microbial growth, environmental stress, or any combinations thereof with distilled water; blending the fruit and distilled water in a processor to form a smooth mixture;separating the blended fruit and distilled water into a supernatant and a sediment, wherein the sediment is discarded and the supernatant is further processed;
sterilizing the supernatant; optionally performing a second separation on the sterilized supernatant to remove any separated sediment or debris; and clarifying the sterilized supernatant by one or more techniques, wherein the clarification results in an isolation of a fraction of the supernatant of a desired molecular weight range comprising one or more active components responsible for the promotion or enhancement of germination, growth, viability, yield, metabolite production, or any combinations thereof of the one or more microorganisms grown in a media comprising the filtered supernatant. |
