Reliable and Efficient Extractables Analysis Service at Creative Biolabs
Lignocellulose is a recyclable material resource. Creative Biolabs is a leader in life science research, development, analysis, etc. We have an experienced team of professionals and state-of-the-art equipment to analyze Lignocellulose and other Biomass samples for extractives. We have optimized the process of lignocellulosic extractives analysis to provide strong support for our clients' scientific and biomass research work.
-
Detection equipment
Solvent extractor: It is used to determine the content of extractives including water-soluble and ethanol-soluble extractives in biomass samples such as lignocellulose.
-
Detection indicator
-
Water-soluble extractive content
-
Ethanol-soluble extractive content
-
Water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractive content
-
Exhaustive extractive content (i.e., the total content of water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractives and water-soluble extractives)
-
Detection steps
-
The moisture content is determined in the sample.
-
We extract water-soluble and ethanol-soluble extractives from the sample by solvent extractor.
-
We calculate the amount of each extractive contained in the sample (water-soluble extractive, ethanol-soluble extractive, water-insoluble but ethanol-soluble extractive, and exhaustive extractive) by the mass loss in the sample caused by extraction.
Our goal is to accelerate the analysis and utilization of biomass samples such as lignocellulose by our clients. Like our Ash Content Analysis, Lignin Content Analysis, Starch Content Analysis, etc., our extractive analysis method is equally efficient and provides accurate results. We also identify and quantify the components of the extractives if the client requires further analysis.

Published data
Microalgae biomass is rich in various organic compounds, such as lipids, proteins, and pigments, and can be used as a source of bioactive compounds. Among them, the lipid content in microalgae is 25 to 200 times that of plants, making it an ideal choice for industrial lipid production and application. The main lipids in microalgae include phospholipids, acylglycerides, glycolipids, free fatty acids, sterols, etc. Traditional lipid extraction methods usually require dehydration of microalgae biomass before extraction, which is a process with high energy consumption and thus increases costs. Therefore, extracting lipids directly from wet biomass would be an advantageous strategy. This study discussed and introduced a variety of pretreatment technologies for extracting lipids from wet microalgae biomass, including microwave, ultrasound, bead milling, enzymolysis, hydrolysis, ionic liquids, and patented processes (such as mechanical crushing, organic extraction, etc.), and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of various methods. Finally, the authors pointed out that in the process of wet microalgae extraction, those extraction methods that are sustainable, efficient, versatile, and controllable should be given priority.
