Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for extracting constituents from organic material, comprising the step of extracting with a monophasic mixture of 50% by volume to 90% by volume of methanol and 50 to 10% by volume of water and optionally 0% by volume to 40% by volume of a further solvent or solvent mixture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the extraction of components made from organic material, comprising the step of extraction with a single-phase mixture of 50 to 90 vol. % methanol and 50 to 10 vol. % water and optionally 0 to 40 vol. % of a further solvent or solvent mixture.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for analyzing at least one test sample, wherein said test sample comprises at least one compound, said method comprising the steps of: a) providing at least one test sample comprising at least one compound; b) determining said at least one compound in said test sample whereby raw results are generated; and c) analyzing the raw results obtained in step b), wherein the analysis of said at least one test sample is accompanied by an analysis of at least one reference sample; and wherein the test sample and the reference sample are analyzed in an identical sequence in each step of the method.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing an animal population having an essentially identical metabolome comprising compiling an animal population being of essentially the same age, keeping said animal population for a time period sufficient for acclimatization under the following housing conditions: (i) constant temperature, (ii) constant humidity, (iii) physical separation of the animals of the animal population, (iv) feeding ad libitum, wherein the food to be fed is essentially free of chemical or microbial contaminance, (v) drinking libitum, wherein the drinking liquid is essentially free of chemical or microbial contaminance, (vi) constant illumination period, and providing the animal population after said time period. Further, the present invention relates to methods for the identification of a compound which effects the metabolome of an animal, or methods for the identification of a marker for such compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for isolating constituents from organic material, comprising the following process steps: a) freeze-drying of the organic material; b) extracting the constituents with a polar solvent or solvent mixture (A) and an organic solvent or solvent mixture (B), it being possible for the extracts of the extraction with (A) and (B) to form one phase; c) combining the extracts (A) and (B) to give one phase; and d) carrying out an esterification/transesterification in the unpolar phase with an alcohol, the esterification/transesterification being carried out in the presence of a volatile acid; the process being a high-throughput process.
