Zusammenfassung:	Provided is a process for extraction of a lipophilic agent from a plant source, the process including: mixing a first quantity of a plant source, the plant source being containing the lipophilic agent and a first quantity of an extraction medium to obtain a first mixture, the extraction medium being in the form of a microemulsion and comprising at least one oil, at least one hydrophilic surfactant, at least one co-surfactant and optionally at least one co-solvent; homogenizing the first mixture under conditions maintaining the microemulsion structure; and separating the homogenized mixture into a biomass slurry and an agent-loaded medium to obtain the agent-loaded medium in a microemulsion form.
