Abstract: Disclosed are methods for pretreating a plant material prior to solvent extraction, wherein the methods comprise subjecting a comminuted dried plant material to non-ionizing radiation at an energy input of equal to or greater than about 0.02 kWh per 1 kg of dried plant material. Also disclosed are methods of extracting plant metabolites from a plant material, the methods comprising comminuting a dried plant material, subjecting the comminuted plant material to a non-ionizing radiation at an energy input of equal to or greater than about 0.02 kWh per 1 kg of dried plant material to thereby pretreat the plant material, contacting the pretreated plant material with a solvent, and recovering a solubilized extract therefrom.
