Extraction

Among its wide range of applications, the D.I.C. features are of great interest for the green extraction sector.

Its effects represent a major asset for the direct extraction of volatile compounds (essential oils), and for non-volatile compounds extraction (lipids, antioxidants…) as a pretreatment of the matrices.

Nonvolatile compounds

For compounds like oils, antioxidants… D.I.C. comes in combination with existing technologies (CO², solvents, press...) to improve the extraction.

By expanding the biomass structure, it:

  • Increases extraction yields
  • Takes less time and energy to complete the extraction
  • Improves the extracts quality

Volatile compounds

For essential oils, D.I.C. comes as an alternative to the classic distillation methods, with benefits including:

  • Preservation of thermosensitive compounds 
  • Non-degradation of the matrix which can then be better valorized
  • Significant reduction of energy needs
