Bio-derived 1,3-propanediol and its conjugated esters as natural non-irritating solvents for biomass-derived extracts, fragrance concentrates, and oils

摘要

Compositions comprising 1,3-propanediol and an extraction product are provided, and the 1,3-propanediol in the composition is biologically derived. Also provided are processes for extracting an extract from a source. These processes comprise providing 1,3-propanediol and mixing the 1,3-propanediol with the source. This serves to extract the extract from the source into the 1,3-propanediol. The processes also include separating the source from the ester and extract.
