Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for extracting a particular compound or composition from a raw or crude material containing that compound or composition as a constituent part and to a process for purifying a crude material using a particular type of solvent for conducting the extraction or purification.
  • Processes for extracting a desired compound or composition from a raw or bulk material which contains that compound or composition as a constituent part using an extraction solvent are known in the art.
  • the raw material is contacted with the extraction solvent, often under vigorous mixing conditions so as to facilitate the dissolution of the desired compound or composition into the extraction solvent, and the resulting solvent liquor containing the desired compound or composition is then separated from the raw material for subsequent processing, e.g. distillation to remove the extraction solvent.
  • Multiple extractions may suitably be carried out on the same raw material sample so as to maximise the amount of the desired compound or composition which is extracted from that sample.
  • Typical examples of extraction solvents which have been used in the prior art extraction processes include hexane, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol. More recently, hydrofluorocarbons such as 1,1,1,2- tetrafluoroethane (R- 134a) have also been used for extracting products such as flavours and fragrances from materials of natural origin as disclosed in EP-A- 616821.
  • Solvent based purification processes such as liquid chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are also known.
  • the crude material to be purified is contacted with a solid adsorbent known as the stationary phase and the resulting solid is then eluted with a suitable solvent known as the mobile phase to progressively and selectively remove various compounds held on the adsorbent.
  • a suitable solvent known as the mobile phase.
  • the particular compound or compounds of interest can be collected in essentially pure form by monitoring the solvent eluate as it is recovered from the adsorbent.
  • the crude material to be purified is charged to the top of a chromatography column packed with a finely divided adsorbent solid as the stationary phase and is effectively washed through the column at a controlled rate by means of a flow of solvent.
  • the solvent flows through the column, it carries the crude material along with it, but the various components of the crude material are carried along at differing rates owing to the differing affinities that those components have for the adsorbent/solvent pair.
  • the desired compound or compounds can be collected off the column in essentially pure form as a solution in the solvent medium.
  • HPLC High performance liquid chromatography
  • very finely divided solids e.g. solids having mean particle diameters in the range of from 5 to 10 microns ( ⁇ m)
  • high pressures e.g. up to 8000 psi
  • HPLC high performance liquid chromatography
  • the first commercial use of HPLC was as an analytical tool in which only very small quantities of complex organic mixtures were separated in the column.
  • HPLC more recent developments have enabled HPLC to be used for the isolation/purification of development and even production quantities of a desired compound such as a pharmaceutical product.
  • Essential oils are typically extracted or expressed from plant materials and are used for flavouring, fragrance and medicinal purposes. These oils typically contain quantities of undesirable compounds, particularly the terpenes, and the desired organoleptic compounds, which can be structurally related to the terpenes, but carry heteroatom functionality, e.g. oxygen containing functional groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl or ether groups.
  • One particular class of organoleptic compounds contained in essential oils is the terpenoids.
  • the terpenoid content of essential oils often contributes significantly to the desired organoleptic properties of the essential oil.
  • the aroma and flavour of citrus peel oils is largely determined by the presence of citral (an aldehyde), nerol and geraniol (alcohols) and their ethyl esters.
  • terpenes are often present in large quantities in essential oils and tend to dilute or mask the desirable properties of the organoleptic compounds.
  • citrus peel oils typically contain between 90% and 98% terpenes, primarily ⁇ -limonene, and ⁇ - and ⁇ -pinene.
  • Rosemary oil also typically contains between 85% and 90% terpenes and celery seed oil between 80% and 85%.
  • terpeneless oils are known in the art as "terpeneless", although the term is a misnomer in reality, because the majority of terpeneless oils still contain substantial quantities of terpenes.
  • the important characteristic of terpeneless oils is that they contain higher quantities of the compounds, such as the terpenoids, which contribute to the desired organoleptic properties of the essential oil.
  • typical terpeneless citrus oils contain between 5 and 20 times the concentration of the desirable terpenoid compounds as compared to the essential oil starting material. This concentration enhancement is referred to as "folding", and an oil having a 5-times enhancement is referred to as a "5-fold oil”.
  • Terpeneless oils including citrus peel oils (orange, lemon, lime, grapefruit, bergamot) amongst others, have been available commercially for some time and are valuable materials in the flavours and fragrance areas.
