PLANT EXTRACT PRODUCTION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18743772 titled 'PLANT EXTRACT PRODUCTION METHOD
The patent application describes a method for producing plant extract using extraction, filtration, and dialysis techniques.
- Extraction step: Obtaining extract from a plant dispersion containing a plant.
- Filtration step: Filtering the extract using cross-flow filtration to obtain a filtrate.
- Dialysis step: Dialyzing the filtrate through electrodialysis.
Potential Applications: - Pharmaceutical industry for producing plant-based medicines. - Food industry for creating natural flavorings and colorings. - Cosmetic industry for developing organic skincare products.
Problems Solved: - Efficient extraction of plant compounds. - Removal of impurities from the extract. - Preservation of bioactive components during processing.
Benefits: - High-quality plant extract production. - Enhanced purity and potency of the extract. - Environmentally friendly process compared to traditional methods.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Plant Extract Production Method for Various Industries" This technology can be used in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic industries to create high-quality plant-based products, catering to the growing demand for natural and organic ingredients.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method compare to traditional plant extract production techniques?
- This method offers improved efficiency and purity compared to traditional methods, making it more suitable for commercial applications.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this extraction process in large-scale production?
- The initial investment in equipment for filtration and dialysis may be higher, but the long-term benefits of improved product quality and efficiency can outweigh the costs.
Original Abstract Submitted
A plant extract production method comprising: an extraction step for obtaining an extract by extraction from a plant dispersion containing a plant; a filtration step for obtaining a filtrate by filtering the extract by means of cross-flow filtration; and a dialysis step for dialyzing the filtrate by means of electrodialysis.
