Analysis of Extractives (Exhaustive - Water then Ethanol)
The Exhaustive Extractives content is equal to the Water-Soluble Extractives content plus the Water-Insoluble but Ethanol-Soluble Extractives content. It is usually not equivalent to the sum of the Water-Soluble Extractives content and the Ethanol-Soluble Extractives content since some constituents may be extracted in both solvents.

Analytical Procedure for Extractives (Exhaustive - Water then Ethanol)
☑ Step 1: Removal of Water-Soluble and Ethanol-Soluble Extractives
1. The moisture content of the sample is determined, in duplicate.
2. Six 11 ml capacity DIONEX ASE (Accelerated Solvent Extraction) cells are filled with recorded weights of the sample.
3. The following DIONEX ASE 200 Method is then used on the first 4 cells:
| Pressure: | 1500 psi |
| Temperature: | 100 celcius |
| Preheat Time: | 0 mins |
| Heat Time: | 5 mins |
| Static Time: | 7 mins |
| Flush Volume: | 150% |
| Purge Time: | 150 s |
| Static Cycles: | 3 |
| Solvent: | Water |
4. The Method listed above is then repeated for cells 3-6 with the only difference being that 95%-Ethanol is used as the solvent.
5. A box, of known weight, is taken and the remaining biomass from the first extraction cell transferred to it. This is repeated for the other cells.
6. After 2 days each box is weighed again and the moisture content of a subsample of the extracted biomass determined (in duplicate).
7. The weight of Water-Soluble Extractives is determined as the mass loss in the biomass sample, due to extraction in the ASE-200 (corrected for moisture), for the first two cells.
8. The weight of 95%-Ethanol-Soluble Extractives is determined as the mass loss in the biomass sample, due to extraction in the ASE-200 (corrected for moisture), for the last two cells.
9. The weight of Exhaustive Extractives is determined as the mass loss in the biomass sample, due to extraction in the ASE-200 (corrected for moisture), for cells 3 and 4.
10. The weight of Water-Insoluble but Ethanol-Soluble Extractives is determined from subtracting the Water-Soluble Extractives content from the Exhaustive Extractives content.

Celignis is a Partner in 3 Successful Proposals for EU Funding
We are pleased to announce that three of the proposals involving Celignis, submitted to the CBE-JU programme for funding collaborative biomass research in Europe, were successful. These projects will provide an additional funding of €1.5m to Celignis and build on our achievements in other CBE and EU projects. In particular, the projects are all at enhanced TRLs (6/7) and will use our existing Celignis Bioprocess infrastructure and will also fund further development of our bioprocessing capacities and the Bioprocess Development Services we offer our clients.
Details on the funded projects are provided below:
BIONEER - This project was funded under CBE-JU topic IA-06 and focuses on the TRL 6/7 production of biobased platform chemicals. Celignis's activities in the project focus on scaling up the work undertaken in our ongoing
