Steam Distillation
Essential oils present in spices, herbs, seeds, leaves, roots are extracted in a 3 stage process.
- Cleaning and Flaking: Spices and herbs are cleaned and then flaked in a flaker before charging in the distillation kettles.
- Steam Distillation: Steam is released in the kettle, which flows along with the essential oil through the condenser to cool down. Oil is separated into 3 fractions. Our production team critically monitors the temperature to extract the maximum amount of yield.
- Post-production- drying of de-oiled material: The flaked material after distillation is dried and transferred to solvent extractors for the next stage of production.
Solvent Extraction
Solvent extraction is a process where compounds are extracted based on their relative solubilities. It involves solvents like ethyl acetate, ethanol or a mixture based on the material used.
- Solvents are percolated with the material until the active ingredients are extracted.
- Post extraction, the material goes through an evaporation process where excess solvent is removed and finally blended as per the customer’s quality specifications.
Warehouse, Packaging and Storage Facility
The final product is stored in a suitable environment in our warehouse to retain the quality and flavour profile of the ingredient.
Our QA&QC team ensures that our products and packaging are non-contaminated and meet the international standards and quality specifications of our clients.
