Organic solvents, residual

Solvent extraction removes chlorophyll and other pigments to give a light-colored product but increases processing costs. Furthermore, solvent extraction removes p-carotene and reduces vitamin A activity (89) (see Terpenoids Vitamins). Supercritical CO2 extraction at 30 and 70 MPa (4,350 and 10,150 psi) and 40°C removed 90 and 70% carotene and lutein, respectively, from alfalfa LPC (96). This process avoids organic solvent residues and recovers valuable by-products.

This method of calculation is based on the use of animal toxicity data to determine limits. As mentioned earlier, this method is particularly suited for determining limits for materials that are not used medically. This method is based upon the concepts of acceptable daily intake (ADI) and no observed effect level (NOEL) developed by scientists in the Environmental Protection Agency [7], the U.S. Army Medical Bioengineering Research and Development Laboratory [8], and the toxicology department at Abbott Laboratories [9], This method has also been recently used to calculate the limits of organic solvent residues allowed in APIs [10]. 

Organic solvents, residual monomer and dimers (Sect. 2.2.5) are usually removed by vapor stripping during which an aqueous slurry of Nd-BR is obtained. BR is isolated from the slurry by appropriate dewatering screws prior to drying by hot air [82]. The final process steps of Nd-BR-solutions are not unique to Nd-BR. Therefore, these aspects are not addressed in this review. 

Table 4.3 Activity half-life of proteases in the presence of organic solvent [28, 29], Values in parentheses are the results of repetitions carried out in 2007. Enzymes were incubated at 30 C and pH 8 in the presence of 25% organic solvent. Residual hydrolytic activity was measured by a casein assay.

Steam distillation has been traditionally used for isolation of essential oils, but some problems were recently reported for example, degradation of certain monoter-penes can occur because of acid-catalyzed hydration. An alternative method, useful for much smaller sample sizes, involves extraction with organic solvents, such as dichloromethane, followed by evaporation of solvent from the extract. However, this approach is not very popular when the obtained extracts are to be used in the cosmetic or food industry, because of the possible toxic organic solvent residue. 

The use of organic solvents to produce surface layers has clear disadvantages if the aim is to use such techniques on an industrial scale (due to both environmental emission and disposal issues). Moreover, for applications in areas such as medical devices and implants, the presence of even minor organic solvent residues in the adlayers cannot be tolerated, in view of potential cell-toxicity effects and other biological risks. On the other hand, self-assembled monolayers, in particular of molecules with functional terminal groups, are of great interest for the modification and functionalization of biomaterials and medical devices. Therefore, a technique based on the deposition of SAMs from aqueous alkyl phosphate solutions has been developed and successfully applied to a variety of metal oxide substrates. ...

In addition, the storage of waste solvents, including solvents containing radioactive isotopes, should be handled as a potential fire hazard. Special care should be given to waste scintillation cocktail, organic solvent residues from protein extractions, and similar wastes. Waste handling is covered in Chapter 7. 

Among the fluids mentioned (Table 1), CO2 has been the most widely used due to its peculiarities, its low critical property values, and its advantages over the other solvents. It is considered ideal for use in food products since this process does not contain organic solvent residues, elements that are considered contaminants and promoters of major changes in food composition (Brunner, 2005 . Sajfrotova et al., 2005). 

Moreover, this system does not use extraction solvents, resulting in an oil and eake completely free of organic solvents residues therefore, it is eonsidered a clean extraetion method for both the raw material and the... 

SCCO2 was pushed to the fore. The separation of pure enantiomers with the help of enzymes in SCCO2 is interesting for the pharmaceutical industry, where the control of organic solvent residues is crucial. Table 2 shows a list of works about enzymatic reactions in SFC. Besides nontoxicity, CO2 offers numerous advantages. It is nonexplosive and inflammable. Its critical pressure is relatively low (73.8 bar), and its critical temperature (31.0°C) is consistent with the use of biochemical compounds, especially with the activity of enzymes. Its natural character is of interest, in many cases, as a replacement for organic solvents.
