Extraktstoffen
Extraktstoffe are substances that can be dissolved and removed from a solid matrix by a suitable solvent. They are not chemically bound within the material, and their removal leaves behind a residue that is more tightly integrated with the matrix.
The concept is used across disciplines such as plant chemistry, wood science, and food technology. In plant
In wood and timber, extractives are the portion that can be leached by organic solvents. They influence
Extraction methods differ by target compounds and solvent choice. Common techniques include solvent extraction (maceration or
Typical extractives include lipids and fatty acids, resins and terpenes, tannins, phenolic compounds, and various sugars
Applications and relevance vary: in flavor and fragrance chemistry, pharmacognosy, wood processing, and material science, knowing
In summary, Extraktstoffe describe diverse, extractable substances that can be removed from a material by solvent
