MET Advanced Technology Microwave Ovens: Compound Extraction
What is it?
When it comes to compound extraction for the food or fragrance industries, it is essential to preserve the physical-chemical properties of the flavour as well as the organoleptic. Most customers using conventional flavouring infusion technologies are faced with low yields and the presence of unwanted components. This can be avoided with microwave-assisted extraction technology.
How?
An interesting aspect of the microwave-assisted extraction process is the low thermal effect of microwaves on edible oils. Microwaves act selectively on the plant cells, evaporating the water matrix, causing the cells to break, and releasing the aroma directly into the microwave cavity. The oil is transparent to microwaves and does not undergo thermal heating by the infusion process.
What Does It Provide?
Our microwave-assisted infusion equipment is available in batch or continuous process format. Depending on your production rate, our solutions can process anything from a few kg to several hundred kg per hour.
Industrial microwave compound extraction is a process in which compounds are extracted from a sample using microwaves as an energy source. This technique is commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries to extract compounds such as flavours, colours and active ingredients from plant materials. The process involves placing the sample in a specially designed microwave extraction vessel along with a solvent such as water or ethanol. Microwave energy is then applied to the mixture, causing the compounds to be released from the sample and dissolved in the solvent. The solvent is then separated from the sample and the extracted compounds are recovered.
One of the main advantages of compound extraction is that it can be carried out in a short time and at a lower temperature compared to other extraction methods. This can help to maintain the integrity and strength of the extracted compounds. However, it is important to carefully control the temperature and power of the microwaves to avoid overheating or damaging the sample.
Advantages
Compound extraction is the process of extracting specific compounds or substances from a material, such as plant matter or chemicals, using a solvent or other method. Industrial microwaves are increasingly being used for compound extraction due to their efficiency and effectiveness. Some advantages of compound extraction using industrial microwave technology include:
- Speed: Industrial microwaves can significantly reduce the extraction time compared to traditional methods, which can take several hours or even days. The rapid heating and penetration of microwaves into the material can break down cell walls and release the target compounds quickly and efficiently.
- Increased yield: Microwave extraction can extract a higher yield of target compounds than traditional extraction methods, due to the rapid heating and penetration of microwaves into the material. This means that more of the desired compounds can be obtained from the same amount of starting material.
- Better quality: Industrial microwaves can extract target compounds without degrading them or introducing impurities, leading to higher quality final products. Traditional extraction methods can introduce impurities or break down compounds due to prolonged exposure to heat or solvents.
- Lower costs: The shorter extraction times and higher yields of industrial microwave extraction can result in lower production costs compared to traditional extraction methods. This is particularly important in industries such as pharmaceuticals, where the cost of production can be a major factor.
- Environmentally friendly: Industrial microwave extraction can be a more environmentally friendly option compared to traditional extraction methods that may use large amounts of solvents or generate toxic waste. Microwave extraction can use less solvent or even be solvent-free, reducing the environmental impact of the process.
