Bavachi seed
Purity Levels
Bakuchiol 98%
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Bavachi seed (Psoralea corylifolia), standardised to Bakuchiol 98%. We supply the complete machinery to process Bavachi seed into an extract configured to the client’s target specification for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fragrance industries. Bavachi (bakuchi) seeds, Psoralea corylifolia, are valued in Ayurveda and herbal medicine for their psoralen and flavonoid content, used primarily in skin treatments, hair care and medicinal formulations.
Mechotech's Bavachi seed plant is configured around the specific chemistry and processing requirements of Bavachi seed. Built in SS 316L with integrated solvent recovery, automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Bavachi seed raw material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Extraction
Milled Bavachi seed is extracted with food-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of the target actives.
Filtration
The extract (miscella) is clarified through a plate-and-frame filter press followed by cartridge polish filters.
Concentration & Solvent Recovery
The miscella is concentrated in a falling-film / vacuum evaporator, with solvent recovered through the condenser return system.
Standardisation
The concentrate is assayed and adjusted to the declared specification of Bakuchiol 98% before drying.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Bavachi seed extract is spray- or vacuum-dried, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.

Key Features
SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces with CIP operation between batches.
Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery
Integrated condenser-return recovery reuses solvent between batches and reduces solvent loss.
Standardised to Specification
In-process and batch-release assay are used to check the finished Bavachi seed extract against its declared specification (Bakuchiol 98%).
Integrated Drying
A matched spray/vacuum dryer produces a free-flowing, low-moisture powder ready for encapsulation and blending.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
