DEVELOPMENT OF ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE EXTRACTION OF PLANT RAW MATERIALS

The peculiarity of solid bodies of organic origin, in contrast to solid bodies of mineral origin, is that their internal structure is characterized by the presence of two spaces - cellular and intercellular. Such bodies tend to swell upon contact with the extractant. The phenomenon of swelling, during extraction, is always accompanied by the dissolution of target substances contained in the cellular and intercellular space.
