METHOD FOR DISINTEGRATING/SEPARATING AND DECOMPOSING PLANT SHELL MATERIALS AND CONSTITUENTS IN ORDER TO OBTAIN AND PRODUCE PLANT INGREDIENTS AND PLANT FIBER PRODUCTS
The invention relates to a method for disintegrating and decomposing plant starting material, having the following method steps: a) providing a plant starting material, b) mixing the starting material with a disintegrating solution and leaving the starting material in the disintegrating solution until disintegration is achieved, c) distributing the constituents of the disintegrated starting material in a distribution volume so as to obtain solid constituents and dissolved constituents of the plant starting material, d) separating solid constituents from dissolved constituents of the plant starting material, e) obtaining the separated constituents of the plant starting material as material fractions by e1) fractionating cellulose-based fibers from lignin-rich shells of the solid constituents of the plant starting material by means of a cyclone method and obtaining purified fractions of cellulose-based fibers and of lignin-rich shells, e2) aggregating/complexing dissolved proteins of the dissolved constituents
