WIPO "essential oil or extracts"
Methods for extracting solute from plant biomass, some examples comprising placing plant biomass in extraction chambers, introducing extraction solvent into the extraction chambers to produce first mixtures, sealing the extraction chambers at predetermined initial pressures, performing pressure adjustment procedures on the first mixtures, the pressure adjustment procedure including introducing pressure gas into the extraction chambers and removing at least a portion of the pressure gas from the extraction chambers, repeating the pressure adjustment procedure, and discarding plant biomass to produce third mixtures. Some examples include introducing transfer oils and removing extraction solvents to produce essential oil mixtures containing transfer oils and extracted solutes. In some examples, an extraction chamber containing plant biomass and a quantity of extraction solvent is provided. In some examples, the pressure adjustment procedure is repeated a predetermined number of times; in others, the pressure adjustment procedure is repeated for a predetermined duration.
