    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of chromoplastid carotenoids that can be isolated from fruits. The procedure of the invention allows to selectively isolate, on the basis of the size (Size Exclusion Chromatography) and in pure form, the carotenoid in the form of regularly shaped and sized aggregates. The process includes the following steps: i) production, in suspension, of homogeneous fragments of the chromoplastidial membranes from the fruits; ii) solution isolation of the membrane components by solubilization with detergents; iii) selective and high-purity isolation of the carotenoid in the form of regular paracrystalline aggregates by a screening technique such as size exclusion chromatography (SEC—Size Exclusion Chromatography).

    Abstract: An example method for extracting phytochemical oil from plant parts includes freezing plant parts from at least one of Cannabis sativa, Curcuma longa, Panax ginseng, and Panax quinquefolius. The frozen plant parts are reduced to a plant powder, which is suspended in an aqueous buffer. The aqueous buffer containing the suspended plant powder is incubated with at least one pectinase and at least one cellulose. An aqueous phase of the incubated aqueous buffer is evaporated through steam heating to obtain a steam dried product. Phytochemical oil, which includes at least one of cannabinoids, curcuminoids, and ginsenosides, is extracted from the steam dried product.
