Supercritical extraction

Is a sophisticated method of extracting bio-actives where the extracts retain biological activity.

Benefits of supercritical extraction:

• High extract yield

• Heat sensitive materials are gently treated

• Extracts and residues are solvent free; making them both saleable unlike other solvent extracts

• Selective extraction and fractionation of extracts is possible

• Extraction solvents are recycled within the plant

• De-selection of heavy metals

Pharmalink have developed a proprietary process to enrich liquid extracts.

 

Food grade Co-solvent extraction

Additional benefits of co-solvent extraction:

• Increases extract yield from raw materials that contain polar lipids or with compounds with low solubility.  This is a great benefit for raw materials that contain phospholipids

• Different fractions of polar and non-polar lipids can be separated in this process
