Mastering microwave and ultrasound-assisted eco-extraction technologies applied to natural products
Apply the principles of eco-extraction to natural products
An up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the principles and application of microwave and ultrasound-assisted eco-extraction of natural products.
- 14h
University of Avignon
Description
Context
Climate change and the increasing scarcity of non-renewable fossil fuels and resources are forcing us to reduce energy consumption, use alternative solvents and give priority to renewable plant resources. These major challenges are in full response to strong consumer demand for products that respect people and the environment. This is the background to the concept of eco-extraction. This course will enable you to develop an eco-extraction process based on the molecules of interest in the plant matrix.
- Understanding the principles of Eco Extraction
- Targeting processes according to the chemical families present in plants
- Application of eco-extraction processes and comparison with conventional processes
- Physico-chemical characterisation of extracts (see if programme)
- Evaluate the advantages of these extraction processes
- Preparing the extract for formulation (atomisation, encapsulation)
PREREQUISITES
basic knowledge of chemistry
TARGET AUDIENCE
Technicians and engineers in charge of plant extraction laboratories
TEACHING TECHNIQUES AND RESOURCES
Presentation, teaching aids provided on the day, practical laboratory work
GREEN Laboratory
Avignon University has developed the Green Laboratory, a group of researchers focusing on the eco-extraction of natural products.
The process involves isolating compounds of interest from natural resources (plants, flowers, seeds, roots, micro-algae, yeast, bacteria, etc.) for use in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and perfume industries, using innovative processes and solvents that are more environmentally friendly.
