3. In certain embodiments, the process includes the steps of extracting at least a portion of PHA from a disrupted quantity of PHA-containing biomass with an acetin solvent to produce a biomass phase (including residual biomass) and a PHA phase including at least a portion of the PHA from the biomass.

4. The solubilizers employed as part of the invention include: a vitamin E substance; monohydric alcohol esters such as trialkyl citrates, lactones and lower alcohol fatty acid esters; nitrogen-containing solvents; phospholipids; glycerol acetates such as acetin, diacetin and triacetin; glycerol fatty acid esters such as mono-, di- and triglycerides and acetylated mono- and diglycerides; prophylene glycol esters; ehtylene glycol esters; and combinations thereof.
