Siberian Ginseng Extract Powder
Siberian Ginseng Extract Powder
Mechotech designs and manufactures turnkey extraction plants for Siberian Ginseng Extract Powder, processing the dried root of Eleutherococcus senticosus into an extract standardised to 0.8%-5% Eleutheroside (B+E) by HPLC. Despite the common name, Siberian ginseng is a botanically distinct genus and species from Panax ginseng: its marker actives, eleutherosides B and E, are phenylpropanoid and lignan glycosides — chemically unrelated to the steroidal saponin ginsenosides that define true Panax ginseng — so the extraction and standardisation chemistry is built specifically around this different compound class rather than adapted from a Panax ginseng process. We supply the complete machinery — root cleaning, milling, aqueous-ethanol extraction, filtration, purification, vacuum concentration, closed-loop solvent recovery, standardisation and spray drying — as a single turnkey system for the adaptogen and stamina-support nutraceutical industries.
Mechotech's Siberian Ginseng plant is engineered around the specific chemistry of Eleutherococcus senticosus root: eleutherosides B and E belong to entirely different chemical classes (a phenylpropanoid glycoside and a lignan glycoside respectively) from the steroidal saponin ginsenosides that define Panax ginseng, so the extraction solvent ratio, purification approach, and HPLC standardisation method are all tuned to this distinct marker-compound pair rather than reused from a Panax ginseng line. Root is milled and extracted under controlled aqueous-ethanol conditions, then purified to concentrate the combined eleutheroside B+E fraction across the wide 0.8%-5% commercial grade range. Built in SS 316L with electropolished product-contact surfaces, closed-loop solvent recovery, and full batch documentation, each plant is delivered as a commissioned turnkey system engineered to the declared specification.

Manufacturing Process
Root Cleaning & Size Reduction
Dried Eleutherococcus senticosus root is authenticated, cleaned of soil and foreign matter, and milled to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact ahead of extraction.
Aqueous-Ethanol Extraction
Milled root is charged into closed, jacketed SS 316L extractors and extracted with a controlled aqueous-ethanol solvent system across multiple cycles at regulated temperature, tuned to recover the phenylpropanoid and lignan glycoside compounds (eleutherosides B and E) rather than the steroidal saponins that a Panax ginseng process targets.
Filtration
The extract is clarified through a plate-and-frame filter press followed by cartridge polish filters, removing root fibre before purification.
Resin Purification & Enrichment
The filtered extract is passed through a resin-adsorption purification stage that concentrates the combined eleutheroside B+E fraction, enabling standardisation across the wide 0.8%-5% commercial grade band.
Vacuum Concentration & Solvent Recovery
The enriched extract is concentrated in a falling-film vacuum evaporator at controlled temperature, with ethanol recovered and recycled through the closed-loop system.
Standardisation
The concentrate is assayed by HPLC for combined eleutheroside B and E content and adjusted to the declared 0.8%-5% specification before drying.
Spray Drying & Quality Control
The standardised concentrate is spray-dried to a free-flowing powder with controlled inlet/outlet temperature, then released after HPLC assay, residual-solvent, heavy-metal, microbial, and moisture testing with full certificate-of-analysis documentation.

Key Features
Chemistry-Specific Eleutheroside Extraction
Extraction and purification are tuned to eleutherosides B and E — phenylpropanoid and lignan glycosides — a distinct compound class from Panax ginseng's steroidal saponin ginsenosides, rather than a repurposed Panax ginseng process.
Resin-Enrichment for Wide-Range Standardisation
A dedicated resin-purification stage concentrates the combined eleutheroside B+E fraction, letting the plant reach any point across the 0.8%-5% commercial grade band.
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 ethanol for reuse each batch, reducing fresh-solvent consumption.
Standardised 0.8%-5% Assay by HPLC
In-process and batch-release HPLC assay are used to check the finished powder against its declared specification for consistent, buyer-ready quality.
Scalable Batch Capacity
Plants are configured to requirement from pilot scale upward, with modular expansion.
