Multiphase system for extracting bioactive compounds from plant matrices

Abstract

The invention falls within the field of extracting bioactive compounds from plant products, especially for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications. It proposes an innovative process that allows these compounds to be extracted from plant matrices and encapsulated in functional micro- and / or nanoparticles, facilitating their transport and intelligent release. The integrated system of the invention produces micro and / or nanoparticles containing bioactive ingredients, which can be incorporated into carriers such as nanoemulsions, microspheres, or alginate clays. These carriers allow for the efficient delivery of substances of high biological value, extracted using the patented process. Practical applications include the delivery of active ingredients, offering advantages such as gastric protection, the formation of delayed-release systems, and the ability of micronanoparticles to respond to specific stimuli. In short, the method optimizes the extraction, encapsulation, and delivery of bioactive compounds, enhancing their efficacy and versatility in multiple health and wellness applications.
