Our Extraction Methods We have employed various methods for extracting essential oils and Oleoresins from different spices and herbs. Below are few of the major extraction methods being used by us:- Solvent Extraction: Many herbs and spices cannot be extracted from distillation method, so solvent extraction is the safest method for extracting high quality oil. Spices or herbs to be extracted are washed with a solvent, which dissolves all extractable matter from the plant. These include pigments, volatile molecules and non-aromatic waxes. The herbs and spices are further subjected to low pressure distillation and the volatile oil is then separately collected
- Hydro – Alcoholic Extraction: Our Spices and Herbs extracted under this facility cater to the needs of
customers by producing spice oleoresins, herbal extracts and essential
oils from indigenous source of spices and aromatic plants. The plant
is unique with the usage of all the best technology. Its herbal
division caters to the growing international demand for herbal products
for therapeutic, cosmetic herbs and nutritional supplements
- Freeze - Grinding: This hi-tech
process used by us consists
of powdering the active part of the dried plant by cold-crushing. This
produces a perfectly fine, homogeneous powder, the whole plant powder
or plant totum. Studies have shown that the heat and oxidation
occurring during standard grinding cause deterioration of vitamins,
enzymes, volatile substances and many active principles. Thus, this process presents a perfect solution for this evolved complexity
- Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Extraction (Fluid Extraction- SCF CO2 Technology): This method is also being popularly used for oil extraction from different spices. Carbon Dioxide in liquid form is used as an inert and safe liquid solvent for extracting aromatic molecules. The process is more advantageous, as there is no residue left at the end of the process. The liquid carbon dioxide simply reverts back to the gaseous state.
Thus, our super critical fluid extraction method is far more efficient than traditional solvent separation methods on account of:
- Super critical fluids are selective, thus providing high purity and product concentrations
- There are no organic solvent residues in the extract or spent biomass
- Extraction is efficient at modest operating temperatures
- Super critical fluid extraction is the most efficient separation method for the Nutraceutical market
- Highest purity and concentration attainable
- Super critical fluids provide organic solvent- free concentrated extracts, maximize your product yields, minimize your contamination, and ensure the highest purity and quality with super critical fluids.

Our Contract Processing
Under this, we possess two units consisting of two extractors of 600 L
net volume and two separators operating in series. These units have a
capacity to process 2500 kgs. per day, depending upon the bulk density
of ground raw material. Both of them are operated and controlled by
computer controlled systems and ensure consistent operating parameters
to extract reliable, consistent quality extracts. The entire module is
controlled through a centralized computer system that can be operated
in either manual or automatic modes. This is the first SFE plant in the
world to provide the ultimate and precise control of extraction and
fractionation by way of fully automated computer control. We can offer the facility for production of customized and proprietary client product lines and for toll processing.
Research and Development Capabilities
We work in association with technologists who have been employed at our
facility in the pilot scale. This enables effective testing for
feasibility and scale-up in the main process plant. The development of
new extracts from various botanicals are the main activities at this
center. Further, it is utilized to develop and provide optimum
operating parameters for the commercial production unit.
