In this work, the continuous extraction of solute from vegetable matrix has been studied. An industrial apparatus was used to acquire information for process implementation. To this end, a batch study was conducted to obtain the extraction kinetics, and the behavior of the matter under pressure and raw plant transport were investigated. Coupling these elements allows the representation of the extraction yields according to time in the apparatus. A methodology for the change from batch to continuous extractor based on laboratory tests is proposed.
