Ultrasonic topic: "What is an Ultrasonic Extractor?"
An ultrasonic extractor is a probe-type sonicator used to produce botanical extracts with higher yields and superior quality. Since sonication is a non-thermal extraction method, all bioactive compounds (e.g. vitamins, flavours, antioxidants, CBD etc.) are preserved against heat-induced degradation. This makes ultrasonic extractors the superior tool when it comes to the intensification of ultrasonic extraction processes.
The application of high-power ultrasound waves causes the perforation and disruption of cells and tissues and promotes mass transfer. This means the intracellular material (i.e. the targeted substances) is released from the inner cell and transferred into the solvent. Ultrasonic extraction intensifies the extraction process resulting in higher yields, superior extract quality and rapid processing. At the same time, ultrasonic extraction is an environmental-friendly, green method.
