Which process of bioseparation involves the use of partitioning of a solute between two immiscible phases? Correct Answer Extraction

The extraction is a process which uses the partitioning of a solute between two partially or totally immiscible phases. The extraction can take place in liquid and separates solute from a solid material such phenomenon is known as liquid-liquid extraction and solid-liquid extraction.
