Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum)
Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum)
Purity Levels
3% Allicin by HPLC
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey herbal extraction plants for Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum), a standardised, allicin-active botanical powder extract standardised to 3% Allicin by HPLC — distinct from raw garlic oleoresin processing. We supply the complete machinery to convert dried garlic material into a consistent, HPLC-verified extract powder for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and fragrance industries.
Mechotech's Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum) plant is engineered around the allicin-standardisation chemistry of garlic: solvent extraction of the alliin/allicin-active fraction, purification, and precise HPLC-based standardisation to a declared assay, then drying into a stable, free-flowing extract powder. Built in SS 316L with integrated closed-loop solvent recovery, automation, and full documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system engineered to the 3% Allicin by HPLC specification.

Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Dried garlic material is authenticated, tested for moisture, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise surface area ahead of enzymatic conversion and extraction.
Enzymatic Conversion (Alliin to Allicin)
Milled garlic is held under controlled temperature and pH so the naturally present enzyme Alliinase converts odourless Alliin into bioactive Allicin and related organosulfur compounds, generating the allicin-active fraction the finished extract is later standardised against.
Extraction
The enzymatically converted garlic is extracted with food-grade solvent (alcohol / aqueous) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled, low-temperature conditions and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of allicin and related actives while minimising oxidation.
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 closed-loop solvent recovery through the condenser return system.
Standardisation
The concentrate is assayed by HPLC and adjusted to the declared specification of 3% Allicin before drying.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum) extract is spray- or vacuum-dried into a free-flowing powder, then released after assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing.

Key Features
GMP Hygienic SS 316L Construction
Electropolished SS 316L product-contact surfaces use GMP hygienic design, with CIP operation between batches.
Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery
Integrated recovery returns the solvent for reuse within the process; recovery performance is established during process development.
Standardised to Specification
In-process and batch-release assay are used to check the finished Garlic Extract (Allium Sativum) extract against its declared specification (3% Allicin by HPLC).
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.
