  • Method for fractionating essential oils using at least a fluorinated solvent
    Publication number: 20040026318
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for fractinating essential oils or essential oil fractions, characterised in that it comprises a step which consists in contacting said essential oils with an extracting agent containing at least a fluorinated solvent so as to obtain a fluorinated phase and a non-fluorinated phase and a step which consists in separating the essential oils contained in said fluorinated phase and in said non-fluorinated phase.

  • Method for extracting and fractionating fats with solvent, using at least a hydrofluroether
    Patent number: 6673952
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for extracting and fractionating fats contained in a raw material, characterized in that it comprises at least a step which consists in using an extraction solvent consisting of at least a hydrofluoroether of general formula (I): CnF2n+1OCmH2m+1, wherein: n ranges between 3 and 6 and m ranges between 1 and 5 and at least a separation step enabling to obtain a raw extract of fats rich in unsaponifiable substances and optionally, in free fatty acids and a insoluble extraction fraction.

  • Use of hydrofluoroethers as agents for dissolving aromatic compounds to make compositions
    Patent number: 6573235
    Abstract: The invention concerns a cosmetic composition comprising at least an aromatic compound and at least an agent for dissolving said aromatic compound, characterized in that said dissolving agent consists of perfluorinated hydrofluoroether preferably having a total number of carbon atoms not less than 5 and consisting of a perfluoroalkane chain, branched or not, cyclized or not, bound to an alkoxy group, said alkoxy group having a number of atom(s) between 1 and 7, said hydrofluoroether having a boiling point in atmospheric pressure ranging between +15° C. and +100° C. The invention enables the replacement of ethanol conventionally used in cosmetic compositions by at least one hydrofluoroether compound.
