PREAMBLE TO THE DESCRIPTION:

A LIQUID EXTRACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD THEREOF
Field of Invention:
The present invention relates to an advanced extraction technique for the isolation of phytochemical using a homogeneous gaseous mixture of supercritical liquid.

Background of the Invention.
The following background discussion includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication expressly or implicitly referenced is prior art.
The principles of supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have been known since the work of Baron Cagniard de le Tour in 1822 when it was noted that the gas-liquid boundary disappeared when the temperature of certain materials was increased by heating them in a closed glass container. From this early work the critical point of a substance was first discovered. The critical point is the temperature above which a substance can co-exist in gas, liquid and solid phases. It was later found that by taking substances to or above their critical temperature and pressure they could be used as sophisticated solvents for extraction and fractionation of complex mixtures. For example, US11465072B2 discloses a system of and for extraction or removal of phytochemicals from plants, including those of the plant family Cannabaceae sensu stricto. More specifically, a system for extracting essential oils from plants, such as cannabis, without the use of a solvent.
Further, US20030072677A1 discloses methods for preparing tissue for incorporation into xenografts and bioprosthetic devices. The methods of the invention make use of supercritical fluids to remove infectious materials and chemical agents from tissues, as well as to permeate a tissue with a chemical agent (e.g. tanning, cross-linking, and bioactive agents).
In another document, US4493797A discloses an autoclave extraction apparatus using supercritical fluid is used for supercritical fluid extraction of one or several compounds. The supercritical fluid containing the compound(s) may then be processed in a pressurized bed reactor under supercritical conditions. The bed being a fluidizable catalytic bed to carry out a catalytic reaction of the compound(s). The method is particularly applicable to recover valuable lignin and other extractable components from kraft black liquor.
However, none of the cited documents uses an advanced extraction technique for the isolation of phytochemical using a homogeneous gaseous mixture of supercritical liquid. The present invention provides an advanced extraction technique for the isolation of phytochemical using a homogeneous gaseous mixture of supercritical liquid.

Object(s) of the present invention:
