  • EXTRACTION PROCESS SPLASH GUARD AND DIFFUSER
    Publication number: 20190282928
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methodologies, systems, and devices for collecting extract in a CO2-based extraction system. A diffuser can be used, attached to one end of an extraction tube, in order to depressurize the CO2 and extract mixture as it exits the diffuser and enters the extraction collection container. A splash guard can also be attached to the extraction tube in order to block any splashing of extract while CO2 is allowed to vent from the extraction collection container.

  • DISCRETE EXTRACT COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR CO2-BASED FLUID EXTRACTION
    Publication number: 20190282923
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methodologies, systems, and devices for discretely collecting extracts from an extract collection container of a CO2-based extraction system. A removable liner can be placed within the extract collection container such that the extract is collected within the removable liner, which can be removed or collected at discrete times. The removable liner can be hung from an extract fluid inlet tube or attached to an internal sidewall of the extract collection container.

  • Process for recovery and purification of saponins and sapogenins from quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)
    Patent number: 6355249
    Abstract: A process for commercial extraction of saponins from quinoa, and optionally for the formation of corresponding sapogenins. The saponin extraction process comprises contacting a saponin-containing part of a quinoa plant with an aqueous alcohol solution containing an alcohol selected from the group consisting of methanol and ethanol to form a saponin-containing solution and an extracted solid residue, removing the alcohol from the saponin-containing solution to leave a saponin-containing aqueous solution, and evaporating water from the saponin-containing aqueous solution to produce a saponin-containing product.
