botanical ingredient technologies

let’s talk about your project

technology

two methods, two different jobs. extraction separates from the plant; distillation fractionates the extract. which one, in which order and with which settings depends on the target compound.

03flow

five steps, five records.

  1. 01

    source

    plant, part, origin and harvest are recorded. the same name can give a different profile from a different source.

    outputraw material record

  2. 02

    separation

    supercritical CO2 extraction separates target compounds from the plant material.

    outputprocess record

  3. 03

    refinement

    where needed, molecular distillation fractionates the extract towards a target profile.

  4. 04

    analysis

    the batch is measured with defined methods. the result documents the batch, not the product in general.

    outputCoA

  5. 05

    application

    the ingredient is assessed again in the customer's product and regulatory context.
