Abstract
The invention relates to a method for obtaining value-determining contents, such as flavouring substances, vitamins, and polyphenols, from foods (), having the following steps: a) providing a food (), b) adding a plant oil () as an extractant, c) grinding the food () and the plant oil () into a mash (), and d) separating the mash into an extraction phase, which is an oil phase (), and a solid phase () as a raffinate phase. The food () and the plant oil () are ground very finely, said grinding process being defined in that the food () together with the plant oil () is ground until the oil phase () has an average particle size of less than 300 μm, preferably less than 100 μm, particularly preferably less than 20 μm.
