IMPROVED BOTANICAL EXTRACTIONS PROCESS
The present invention discloses a method of extracting biologically active compounds from botanic material, the method stabilising the botanical material from oxidative degradation. This preserves the biologically active compounds in the material. In the main embodiment, the plant material is mixed with a solution containing at least one acid and one antioxidant. It has been found that the oxidative degradation of the biologically active compounds in plant material can be prevented, slowed or stopped by the invention.
