Title: Method for simultaneous extraction of essential oils and antioxidants from lamiaceae species and the extract products thereof
Inventor: HAWORTH JAMES E
IPC: A23L27/10
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: An increase in specific antioxidant activity of extracts from rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis) is obtained by the use of a blend of tetrafluoroethane and acetone in the extraction process. A blend of tetrafluoroethane, acetone and methanol improves total yield. A  tetrafluoroethane and acetone blend has higher efficacy but comparatively lower yields. 1le methods yield a liquid and oily antioxidant extract that is readily mixed with a liquid product such as soybean oil for addition to animal feeds and human food. The methods simultaneously yield pharmaceutical grade essential oils in high yields.
