Degradation target

It actually degrades target compounds, rather than just transferring them from one medium to another ... 

Degradation targeting a controlled way of significant decrease in molecular mass... 

Joint Targeting 2013, para 3a. (where an example of the application of assessment metrics is provided as Destruction of Critical Node 1 will degrade Target A by at least 50 percent ). Boothby 2012, p. 505 (emphasis added). 

Sample preparation of human milk depends strongly on the vitamins in qnes-tion and limits the number of different vitamins that can be analyzed simultaneously [87-89]. Sample preparation was carried out under subdued light and on ice to protect the analytes from degradation. Targeted vitamins were extracted by water and methanol after several dilution, centrifugation, dryness, and filtration steps. The nonpolar constituents of the matrix were then extracted with diethyl ether [90].
