Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If current extraction methods are used to obtain rose extracts, then extraction efficiency is improved, but the purity of bioactive components deteriorates due to contamination with biological or chemical substances
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies extraction principle by removing contaminants and unwanted components from the rose extract through multiple purification steps including filtration, centrifugation, and chromatography. This separates the desired bioactive components from biological and chemical contaminants, thereby improving purity while maintaining extraction efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent utilizes parameter changes by adjusting pH levels, temperature, and solvent conditions during different extraction and purification stages. These parameter modifications enable selective extraction of bioactive components at different stages, improving both purity and extraction efficiency simultaneously.
2Quantity of substance
If current extraction methods are used to obtain rose extracts, then extraction capacity is improved, but shelf life deteriorates due to reduced stability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes unstable components and contaminants through systematic purification steps, isolating only the stable bioactive fractions. This extraction of pure active components enhances shelf life while preserving extraction capacity by concentrating the most stable and active substances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs inert atmosphere techniques by conducting extraction and storage under nitrogen or argon gas environments, and by using antioxidant additives. This protects the extracted bioactive components from oxidation and degradation, extending shelf life without compromising extraction capacity.
3Productivity
If current extraction methods are used to obtain rose extracts, then extraction performance is improved, but cytotoxicity increases due to presence of contaminants
Solution Approach 1:
The patent systematically removes cytotoxic contaminants including heavy metals, pesticides, and chemical residues through multiple purification steps such as chromatography and filtration. This eliminates harmful factors while maintaining high extraction performance for beneficial bioactive components.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adjusts extraction parameters including solvent selection, pH control, and temperature optimization to selectively extract non-cytotoxic bioactive components while leaving cytotoxic substances behind. This parameter optimization ensures high extraction performance with minimal cytotoxicity.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If solvent-free extraction methods are used to obtain rose extracts, then safety is improved by eliminating chemical solvents, but extraction efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses water and food-grade glycerin as intermediary solvents that are safe and non-toxic, replacing harsh chemical solvents. These safe intermediaries effectively extract bioactive components from rose flowers, maintaining both safety and extraction efficiency through optimized processing conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent compensates for the lower extraction efficiency of safe solvents by optimizing parameters such as extraction temperature, pressure, time, and solvent-to-material ratio. These parameter adjustments ensure high extraction efficiency is achieved using only safe, non-toxic solvents.
