Extract method of Rubus idaeus P.E.？

There are several methods of extracting the beneficial compounds from Rubus idaeus (raspberry) leaves and fruits to make Rubus idaeus P.E. (Raspberry Extract). The most commonly used methods are:

Solvent Extraction: This method uses a solvent such as ethanol or water to extract the beneficial compounds from the raspberry leaves and fruits. The solvent dissolves the compounds and the mixture is then filtered and concentrated to remove the solvent and obtain the extract.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE): This method uses supercritical CO2 to extract the beneficial compounds from the raspberry leaves and fruits. The CO2 is used at high pressure and high temperature, and it effectively dissolves the compounds without damaging them. This method is considered to be a more gentle and efficient method of extraction.

Cold Press Extraction: This method uses a cold press to extract the juice and beneficial compounds from the raspberry leaves and fruits. The juice is then concentrated to remove excess water and obtain the extract.

Steam Distillation: This method uses steam to extract the beneficial compounds from the raspberry leaves. The steam causes the plant material to release its essential oils, which are then condensed and collected.

It’s worth noting that the method of extraction can affect the composition and quality of the final product. Additionally, the extract may be further processed for specific use such as for food additives, or to meet certain standards for safety and efficacy.
