    摘要: Method for the separation of at least one isoprenic constituent from the resin of a plant of guayule and/or of the guayule type comprising the steps of: a) providing a defatted resin of guayule and/or of the guayule type; b) subjecting the defatted resin to partitioning of the liquid-liquid type with solvents that are immiscible in each other thus obtaining an apolar extract containing the isoprenic constituents guayulin A, guayulin B and argentatin B; and a polar extract containing the isoprene constituents argentatin A, argentatin C and argentatin D; and c) separating at least one isoprenic constituent from said polar extract and/or from the apolar extract thus obtained, wherein step c) comprises a step in which the polar extract is subjected to partitioning of the liquid-liquid type with solvents immiscible in each other and/or a step in which the apolar extract is subjected to partitioning of the solid-liquid type.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an integrated process for processing and utilising every part of the guayule plant (Parthenium argentatum) which comprises the following steps in sequence: separating the stem and branches (3) from the leaves (2) of said plant with a mechanical treatment (1); treating the leaves (100) to produce waxes and essential oils (102), and a fraction (101) containing cellulose, hemicellulose (carbohydrates) and, to a minor extent, salts, organic compounds and lignin; extracting (200) from the stem and branches a liquid phase (4), so forming a first solid woody residue (5), indicated with bagasse in the present text; treating said first solid woody residue (5) to prepare sugars, resin, rubber and lignin.
