Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Preparation
Spice raw material is cleaned and pulverised to a uniform particle size to maximise solvent contact before extraction.
Solvent Extraction
Milled spice is extracted with food-grade solvent in closed, jacketed SS 316L extractors under controlled temperature and multiple cycles to maximise recovery of the target oleoresin.
Filtration
The extract (miscella) is clarified through a filtration system to remove fines and fibrous matter.
Concentration & Solvent Recovery
The miscella is concentrated in a vacuum concentrator (evaporator), with an integrated solvent recovery system returning solvent for reuse and underpinning plant economics.
Purification, Isolation & Standardisation
The concentrate is purified and standardised to the declared oleoresin specification for the target spice.
Drying & Quality Control
The standardised oleoresin is dried to the required consistency and hygienically packed, then released after quality testing.
Applications
- Food, flavour, and colour applications
- Nutraceutical and dietary supplement formulation
- Cosmetic and personal care active ingredients
- Fragrance applications
- Export to regulated-market ingredient buyers
