Cost-and Performance-Effective Solutions
Tens of thousands of plant species are known to contain valuable extractable chemicals, so-called “Natural Products”. Natural products represent a vast and complex phytochemical system comprising many different compounds such as terpenoids, cannabinoids, and flavonoids. To address the natural product market opportunity, many different plant extraction techniques have been developed which use organic solvents, CO2, or water. Plant extraction is the most economically and environmentally impactful unit operation in terms of manufacturing waste such as time, energy, material, and by-products.
