Abstract
A process for the microfluidic extraction of molecules of interest from a vegetable oil, which utilizes a microfluidic chip with a double-Y-channel circuit, two inlets, two outlets, and a main channel, a first vessel including vegetable oil and a second vessel including ethanol for extraction, a pressure controller for pressurizing the vegetable oil and the ethanol, a first collector for the triglycerides-enriched vegetable oil and a second collector for molecules of interest-enriched ethanol. The extraction process includes: controlling the pressures to subject each of the vegetable oil and the ethanol to a pressure, so the interface between the two fluids is positioned at the junction point of inlets, bringing the vegetable oil and ethanol into contact with each other in the main channel for a time to enable extraction of the molecules of interest, collecting the molecules of interest-enriched ethanol, optionally, evaporating the ethanol, collecting the triglycerides-enriched vegetable oil.
