At ESPANOVA, we have embraced advanced technologies for the extraction of natural actives, ensuring high-quality and pure products. Our process utilizes leaching technology, optimized to maximize the efficiency and quality of extracts. Here's a technical description of how our superior methodology benefits our client.
Selection and Pretreatment:
We carefully select the raw materials and perform pretreatment to optimize extraction, such as grinding or fine cutting, increasing the material's surface contact area.
Advanced Filtration:
The resulting liquid, containing the extracted bioactive compounds, undergoes ultrafiltration. This technology allows separation of high molecular weight compounds and concentrates the product without losing its bioactive properties.
Solvent Pathway:
The solvent (water or another suitable solvent for the specific compound) is passed through a column containing the raw material. This process is carried out under controlled pressure that optimizes the extraction of the desired compounds.
Purity and Quality:
Ultrafiltration ensures the removal of impurities and unwanted particles, resulting in a highly concentrated and pure extract.
Controlled Parameters:
We control critical variables such as temperature, pressure, and solvent residence time in the column to maximize extraction efficiency and extract quality.
Transformation into Powder:
The concentrated extract is dried using an atomization process. This method involves spraying the extract into a drying chamber where it turns into fine droplets that instantly dry, transforming into a dry and stable powder.
Stability and Storage:
The final powdered product is easy to handle, store, and use, maintaining its stability and biological activity for an extended period.
Sustainability and Safety:
We use safe and environmentally friendly solvents, ensuring a sustainable and secure process for our clients and the planet.
High Extraction Efficiency: Leaching under controlled pressure and temperature conditions ensures maximum recovery of bioactive compounds.
Versatility:
Our process is adaptable to a wide range of raw materials and compounds, from plant extracts to nutraceuticals and beyond.
Superior Purity and Quality: Ultrafiltration and spray drying ensure that our products are of the highest purity and quality, free from impurities and with high bioavailability.
Our highly concentrated and pure extracts are ideal for various applications, including nutritional supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products. By choosing our products, you are opting for quality, effectiveness, and sustainability.
