The Science of Selectivity

Ultra-Pure Extracts. Infinite Solutions.

We utilise Supercritical CO₂ for limitless custom solutions and Ultrasound for effective extraction, guaranteeing ingredients that meet the requirements of various industries.

Limitless Extraction Power (SFE)

High-pressure CO₂ is a tunable solvent, capable of extracting any compound (polar or non-polar) from any source for unique industrial needs. It is the revolution in purity.

Advanced Ultrasound Extraction

A highly efficient, heat-free process for maximising the yield of flavour, aroma, and colour components without thermal degradation.

Bio-Acoustic Preservation

Ultrasonic Extraction: Maximum Potency Without Heat

We utilise advanced French-developed technology to extract active compounds without the need for heat or long processing times. By using ultrasonic waves to demolish cell walls, we achieve efficient extraction that preserves the integrity of sensitive ingredients like Saffron.

Step 01: Ultrasonic Activation

The raw plant material is submerged in a solvent (distilled water) and subjected to ultrasonic waves. This technology, developed in France, uses specific frequencies to initiate the extraction process without applying external heat.

Step 02: Tissue Cavitation

Ultrasonic waves are applied to the mixture, creating a phenomenon known as cavitation. Unlike generic agitation, this specific process causes microscopic cavities to form directly within the cell tissues of the stigma, allowing them to absorb the solvent rapidly.

Step 03: Cell Wall Demolition

Unlike customary methods that rely on long soaking times, the ultrasonic waves actively demolish the cell walls of the plant. This rupture releases the effective materials instantly, significantly shortening the extraction time.

Step 04: Active Compound Flow

Once the cell walls are demolished, the solvent infiltrates the membrane completely. The effective materials, including all constituents of the saffron, dissolve effortlessly into the solvent, producing a highly concentrated solution that retains the plant's full colour, taste, and aroma.

Ultrasonic Extraction: Mastering the Sunshine Spice

Our saffron extract eliminates manual labour, delivering extraordinary colour, taste, and aroma with remarkable economy - a few drops transform any dish. This heat-free process unlocks saffron's complete spectrum of bioactives, from mood elevation to cognitive clarity. This technology can be utilised for any spice, including but not limited to cardamom, ginger...

  • Unmatched Purity: Crocin (pigment), Picrocrocin (flavour), and Safranal (aroma) are fully preserved by the gentle, heat-free method.

  • Economical and Efficient: Eliminates time-consuming methods of grinding and infusing, offering superior yield and economy.

  • Functional Health Benefits: Supports memory, immunity, and anti-inflammatory action, enabling novel nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.

Extraction Game Changer

Supercritical Extraction: The Solution for Pure Bioactives

We utilise advanced thermodynamic precision to isolate target compounds without thermal degradation or residues. By reaching the supercritical state, where CO₂ exhibits both gas and liquid properties, we deliver ingredients of unmatched potency, widely used in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics.

Step 01: Critical State Activation

We pressurise non-toxic, non-flammable carbon dioxide (CO₂) beyond its critical point (500 bar). In this state, CO₂ functions as a "supercritical fluid," possessing the permeation power of a gas and the solvation capacity of a liquid, ready for selective extraction.

Step 02: Selective Solvation

The supercritical fluid circulates through the raw plant material. Its unique properties allow it to selectively dissolve and capture specific active compounds, such as pigments (beta-carotene), vitamins, essential oils, or aromas, while leaving the unwanted compounds behind.

Step 03: Phase Separation

The mixture is depressurised in a separator vessel. This precise control forces the CO₂ to lose its solubility power and revert to a gas state, instantly releasing the extracted compounds (vitamins, antioxidants) without any risk of heat damage.

Step 04: Zero-Residue Collection

The result is a pure, solvent-free natural extract that retains full biological activity. The CO₂ gas is recycled for future cycles, ensuring an eco-friendly process that guarantees no toxic solvent residues remain in the final product.

The SFE Advantage: Engineered for Pharma and Cosmetics.

Zero Solvent Residues

Final depressurisation ensures no residues remain, guaranteeing absolute purity for clean-label and sensitive applications.

Selective Extraction

This revolutionary extraction method allows for the selective extraction of specific compounds, unlocking limitless opportunities for manufacturers' R&D and NPD departments.

Maximum Bioactivity

Biological activity of sensitive compounds such as vitamins, antioxidants and essential oils are preserved in this method, which may degrade under other extraction methods.
