The disclosed embodiments include systems and methods for the solvent extraction of a substance from a material. The disclosed systems include multiple tanks and an extraction column in communication with the tanks.

A system is provided that includes a solvent source; a canister adapted to contain plant material and positioned downstream of the solvent source; an extract container positioned for receiving and collecting at least a portion of an extract solution from at least the canister, the extract container further positioned to separate at least a portion of the solvent from at least the portion of the extract solution, thereby providing a recycled solvent; a solvent collection line for directing the recycled solvent; and a coolant line positioned for directing coolant that is thermally coupled to at least a portion of the solvent collection line for cooling the recycled solvent that is flowing through the solvent collection line.

The present invention describes a composition comprising raspberry ketone and at least one monosaccharide and optionally at least one phenolic compound. The invention also describes a method for extracting with an aqueous solvent a composition comprising raspberry ketone from the inner bark of birch. The extract thus obtained can optionally also comprise monosaccharides and phenolic compounds.

A method for producing valuable organic liquid from a biomass wherein a heated gas is mixed with a biomass to produce an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The biomass waste product is separated from the enriched organic vapor. The enriched organic vapor is cooled to produce a liquid organic oil and the liquid organic oil is collected. A system for producing the liquid organic oil including a first separation unit to separate an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The enriched organic vapor and the biomass waste product are generated from mixing a heated gas and a biomass. The system also includes a wet scrubber for cooling the enriched organic vapor to generate an enriched organic smoke. The organic smoke can be transformed to the liquid organic oil in an electrostatic precipitator.

The invention relates to a method for transforming an essential oil, an essential oil fraction obtained in said manner, combinations comprising the essential fraction obtained in said manner and an antibiotic or an antifungal and the use thereof as a medicament in particular the use thereof in the prevention or treatment of infectious bacterial or fungal diseases.
