  • Publication number: 20230295067
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for obtaining compounds and compositions from plant and fungus materials by thermal treatment, affinity capture, filtration, and release through multi-phasic transitions between gas, solid, and liquid states. The compounds of interest are obtained by manipulating the temperature and pressure of the heating chamber. The compounds in gas phase are passed through an affinity medium which captures the compounds of interest in either solid or liquid phase by exposing the compound of interest to the localized micro-affinity environment of the medium. The compounds are separated from the medium using direct competition with solvent or buffers optimized for the specific chemical properties of compounds.
