In this presentation we introduce you to the manufacturing of botanical extracts. We explain the challenges of producing high-quality botanical extracts and how a sonicator can help you to overcome these challenges. This presentation will show you how ultrasonic extraction works. You will learn, what benefits you can expect using a sonicator for extraction and how you can implement an ultrasonic extractor into your extract production.
We start with the botanical extract. material. Botanical extracts are valued for their potential therapeutic properties and are commonly used in various industries, including cosmetics, skincare, pharmaceuticals, and food supplements. They can be rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential oils, or other bioactive compounds that offer potential health benefits.
Botanical extracts can be isolated using various methods such as percolation, maceration, steam distillation, conventional solvent extraction or Soxhlet extraction. However, these methods are known for several drawbacks such as slow and incomplete extraction, requirement for toxic solvents or large solvent volumes as well as high energy consumption. In comparison with other extraction techniques, the ultrasound-assisted extraction method offers various advantages!
Ultrasonic extraction enhances the efficiency of extracting phytochemicals by promoting a thorough disruption of cells, better penetration of solvents into plant materials and very high mass transfer. The ultrasonic waves create cavitation, which produces microscopic bubbles that collapse, leading to increased contact between the solvent and the plant material. This results in improved extraction rates and higher yields of desired compounds.
Ultrasonic extraction significantly reduces the extraction time compared to conventional methods. The cavitation phenomenon generated by ultrasonic waves accelerates the extraction process by breaking down cell walls and facilitating the release of phytochemicals from the plant matrix. This allows for faster extraction and increased productivity.
Ultrasonic extraction allows you to use the solvent of your choice. Commonly used solvents for ultrasonic extraction include aqueous ethanol, water, ethanol, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexane, glycerine, vegetable oils, deep eutectic solvents as well as any other usual solvent.
Ultrasonic extraction techniques can be easily scaled up or down to accommodate different production volumes. Whether for small-scale laboratory experiments or large-scale industrial applications, ultrasonic extraction offers flexibility in adapting to varying production needs.
Probe-type sonicators allow for simple operation and precise control of processing parameters, such as power, amplitude, and sonication time, which results in improved extraction efficiency and quality of the final extract. The option to use ultrasonic extractors in batch or inline mode gives you great flexibility in setting up your extract production. Furthermore, the inline mode offers continuous and automated extraction processes, making it suitable for large-scale production and streamlined workflows.
Probe-type ultrasonic extraction in both batch and inline modes provides a powerful and versatile approach for obtaining high-quality botanical extracts. With its efficiency, scalability, sustainability, and ability to preserve thermally labile compounds, this technology holds great potential for the botanical extraction industry and paves the way for innovative and sustainable extraction processes in the future.
