Counter-Current Extraction (CCE)Supercritical CO₂ Extraction (SCFE)Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE)Hybrid ExtractionMicrowave-Assisted Extraction (MAE)

Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey extraction plants that process mango kernels to recover gallotannins and mango butter. We supply the machinery for the route selected after screening — raw-material preparation, extraction, separation, concentration or recovery, and drying or collection — configured to the target specification. Mechotech's technology screening assigns routes by target — gallotannins: Counter-Current (CCE), Ultrasound (UAE), Hybrid and Microwave (MAE); mango butter: Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE); the best-ranked routes overall are Counter-Current Extraction (CCE), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) (exploratory screening, rank 81 of 100).

For mango kernels with gallotannins and mango butter as the target, there are 5 candidate technologies: Counter-Current Extraction (CCE), Supercritical CO₂ Extraction (SCFE), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE), Hybrid Extraction and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE). By route — Counter-Current (CCE) for gallotannins: exploratory screening, rank 81 of 100, ethanol/water or suitable food-grade solvent; Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE) for mango butter: exploratory screening, rank 85 of 100, CO₂; optional ethanol modifier; Ultrasound (UAE) for gallotannins: exploratory screening, rank 81 of 100, ethanol/water or water; Hybrid for gallotannins: exploratory screening, rank 87 of 100, sequence selected by target; Microwave (MAE) for gallotannins: exploratory screening, rank 81 of 100, ethanol/water or water. For the first-listed of the best-ranked routes, Counter-Current (CCE), the screening flags: counter-current contact and solvent recovery; verify bed flow and fines management. These are screening candidates rather than guarantees: the final technology, operating parameters and plant configuration are established during process development and pilot validation. Product-contact parts are built in SS 316L with CIP-cleanable design, and automation is configured to the project.

Manufacturing Process

Each extraction method follows a different process — pick a method to see its steps.

Raw-Material Preparation

Mango kernels are cleaned and size-reduced so gallotannins can be reached by the extraction medium; particle size and moisture are set during process development.

Counter-Current Loading

Prepared mango kernels are fed into a multi-stage solid–liquid counter-current extractor where fresh ethanol/water or a suitable food-grade solvent meets the most-depleted material.

Counter-Current Extraction

Solvent flows against the solids across stages to draw out gallotannins; bed flow and fines management are verified during pilot work.

Extract (Miscella) Collection

The gallotannins-bearing miscella is collected from the fresh-feed end while spent solids are discharged from the solvent-entry end.

Concentration & Solvent Recovery

Solvent is removed from the clarified gallotannins-bearing extract under vacuum and returned through a solvent-recovery loop; recovery performance is confirmed at pilot scale.

Standardisation & Drying

The gallotannins extract is assayed against the declared target specification and dried or supplied as a concentrate, according to the requirement.

Key Features

Joint Best-Ranked Routes — Exploratory Screening Fit
Joint best-ranked routes for mango kernels: Counter-Current (CCE), Ultrasound (UAE) and Microwave (MAE), all at rank 81 of 100 in their respective screenings. Ranks are directional screening priorities, not measured yield, ROI or plant guarantees.
Mango kernels — 5 Candidate Routes
Routes screened for mango kernels: Counter-Current (CCE) — exploratory, rank 81; Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE) — exploratory, rank 85; Ultrasound (UAE) — exploratory, rank 81; Hybrid — exploratory, rank 87; Microwave (MAE) — exploratory, rank 81. Each route has its own process tab above.
2-Target Scope
Targets are assigned to routes in the screening — gallotannins: Counter-Current (CCE), Ultrasound (UAE), Hybrid and Microwave (MAE); mango butter: Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE) — so each route’s steps name only the target it is screened for.
Parameters Fixed After Pilot Trials
Recovery of gallotannins and mango butter, selectivity, solvent or water duty, quality and cleaning are measured in pilot trials, starting with small-scale feed trials, before final plant parameters are fixed.
SS 316L Hygienic Construction
Product-contact surfaces are SS 316L and CIP-cleanable, in a hygienic design suited to food, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical supply chains; PLC-SCADA automation with recipe control can be configured to the project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mango kernel extraction plant for gallotannins and mango butter?

It is a turnkey Mechotech plant that processes mango kernels to recover gallotannins and mango butter. The plant covers raw-material preparation, extraction, separation, concentration or fraction collection, and drying or packing, and is configured to the target specification. It sits within Mechotech's wider range of herbal extraction plants.

Which plant part or feed form does the mango kernel plant process?

The candidate feedstock is mango kernels. The target extract is gallotannins and mango butter.

Which extraction technologies are suitable for mango kernels?

This feedstock has 5 candidate technologies: Counter-Current Extraction (CCE) (exploratory screening), Supercritical CO₂ Extraction (SCFE) (exploratory screening), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) (exploratory screening), Hybrid Extraction (exploratory screening) and Microwave-Assisted Extraction (MAE) (exploratory screening). See the related pages on counter-current extraction, supercritical CO₂ extraction, ultrasound-assisted extraction, hybrid extraction and microwave-assisted extraction. These are screening candidates, not guarantees of yield, purity or recovery; the route is confirmed through process development and pilot validation. In Mechotech's technology screening these candidates are ranked directionally — exploratory: Counter-Current Extraction for gallotannins (rank 81 of 100), Supercritical CO₂ Extraction for mango butter (rank 85 of 100), Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction for gallotannins (rank 81 of 100), Hybrid Extraction for gallotannins (rank 87 of 100), Microwave-Assisted Extraction for gallotannins (rank 81 of 100). Ranks are directional screening priorities at method-family level, not measured yield, ROI or plant guarantees.

How does Mechotech's screening rank the candidate routes for mango kernels?

Each technology list in Mechotech's screening ranks 100 feedstock–target opportunities (1 = highest priority). For mango kernels: Counter-Current (CCE) for gallotannins rank 81 (exploratory); Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE) for mango butter rank 85 (exploratory); Ultrasound (UAE) for gallotannins rank 81 (exploratory); Hybrid for gallotannins rank 87 (exploratory); Microwave (MAE) for gallotannins rank 81 (exploratory). The best-ranked routes are Counter-Current (CCE), Ultrasound (UAE) and Microwave (MAE). Ranks are directional screening priorities, not measured yield, ROI or plant guarantees, and the evidence is at method-family level, so every route needs pilot validation.

Which technologies are screened for each target of mango kernels?

The screening assigns routes by target — gallotannins: Counter-Current (CCE), Ultrasound (UAE), Hybrid and Microwave (MAE); mango butter: Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE). Each process tab names only the target its route is screened for.

How does the mango kernel extraction process work?

Each listed route has its own steps — Counter-Current (CCE): Counter-Current Loading → Counter-Current Extraction → Extract (Miscella) Collection; Supercritical CO₂ (SCFE): Extraction Vessel Loading → Supercritical CO₂ Extraction → Separator Collection; Ultrasound (UAE): Slurrying → Ultrasonic Cavitation → Separation; Hybrid: Stage Sequence Selection → First Assisted Stage → Second / Combined Stage; Microwave (MAE): Medium Mixing → Microwave Heating & Extraction → Separation. All routes share the same outline: prepare mango kernels, extract gallotannins and mango butter using the technology-specific step, separate and clarify the extract, concentrate it, and recover, standardise and dry. The process tabs above show every step.

What equipment does the mango kernel extraction plant include?

The equipment follows the selected route and includes raw-material cleaning and size-reduction system; multi-stage counter-current extractor; solvent storage tanks and transfer pumps; ultrasonic extraction vessel with transducer system; combined extraction train (stage equipment per the sequence selected during process development); microwave extraction vessel with temperature and safety controls; supercritical CO₂ extraction vessels; CO₂ pump, heat exchangers and chiller.
