Supercritical CO2 extraction system for food and flavour ingredient production

Industry Pain Points

  • Residual solvent limits in food and cosmetic ingredients
  • Aroma fractions lost to heat during extraction
  • Colour and pungency that vary between deliveries
  • Extraction methods that cannot be declared as clean label

What Buyers Need

  • An extraction route that leaves no solvent behind
  • Fraction control so the flavour profile can be tuned
  • Equipment built from stainless steel wetted parts
  • Batch consistency the buyer can rely on

Solution Flow

How a project in this sector is taken from raw material to running equipment.

1

Material selection

Spice, peel, seed or flower prepared and milled for extraction.

2

CO2 or steam

Supercritical CO2 for oleoresin and solvent-free extract, steam distillation for volatile oil.

3

Fractionation

Two separators allow fractions to be taken off independently.

4

Finishing

Concentration and refining on laboratory or pilot equipment.

Delivery Capability

Machines from 0.5L to 200L, with larger capacity customised on request. A supercritical CO2 machine generally takes about 60 workdays to produce.

Packing And Shipping

Plywood case. The machine is assembled and tested before packing, so what ships has already been run.

Installation And Support

Installation service and engineer training on site, with online video guidance from engineers afterwards.

FAQ

Questions From Food and Cosmetic Buyers

Why choose CO2 for a food ingredient?
Because the CO2 leaves the extract as a gas in the separator. There is no residual solvent in the finished product and no purge step to validate.
Which spice materials have been processed?
Materials named for the CO2 machines include Pepper haematochrome, Gingerol, Hops extract, Agarwood oil, tobacco essential oil and cinnamon oil.
Are the wetted parts food-appropriate?
The pipe parts, valves and pipelines on the supercritical CO2 machines are all stainless steel.
