Extraction of Natural Products

We can develop solvents for the extraction of specific natural compounds and in biomass processing for sustainable feedstocks and biofuels. This ability to engineer a solvent to be highly specific to one target compound presents huge advantages over many existing technologies.

For example, we have developed our products for the extraction of artemisinin, the anti-malaria drug precursor, and have delivered results that are substantially superior to the use of conventional methods such as hexane or supercritical carbon dioxide.

Product Benefits

• Higher extraction yields
• Cleaner and quicker extractions
• Lower volumes of solvent required
• Use of a safer, 'greener' solvent
• Need for chromatography minimalized/eliminated
