Invention provides improvement in process of green crop fractionation to
provide a route for production of novel phytochemical compositions or
ingredients containing natural products contained in green plant
material. Primary products of green crop fractionation produced in
conventional process are fractionated further by using processes of oil
extraction, aqueous acid extraction, aqueous alkali extraction, solvent
extraction or are modified further in their form leading to products that
are enriched in either oil soluble phytochemicals or water soluble
phytochemicals. Most of these products can be used for human consumption
directly or as an ingredient of a composition with a minimal further
processing. Choice exists of using a process that totally avoids use of
volatile organic solvents.
