Research on the Extraction Process and Technology of Plant Extracts

Plant extracts take plants as raw materials, and according to the needs of the use of the extracted end products, through physical and chemical extraction and separation processes, directed to obtain and concentrate one or more active ingredients in the plant, without changing the structure of its active ingredients. The quality of plant extracts is greatly influenced by factors such as origin and process, with the production process having the greatest impact on their quality. Therefore, Lifeasible offers a wide range of extraction methods, as well as assistance in improving and developing production processes for different plant extracts, to help you prepare high-quality, standardized plant extracts.

Our Services

Extraction of plant extracts, production process development

According to the principle of similar solubility, we adopt the solvent extraction method for different kinds of plant extracts, making use of the difference in solubility or partition coefficient of the substances in two immiscible (or slightly soluble) solvents, to make the substances be extracted be transferred from one solvent to another solvent.

• Pre-treatment
  We can wash, dry, and crush plant materials before they are extracted.

• Extraction

• Separation or filtration
  Once the plant extracts have been extracted, we can separate the solids from the liquids by filtration. To ensure the quality and efficiency of the filtration we strictly control the centrifugation speed, centrifugation time, membrane pore size, pressure, and other factors.

• Purification or enrichment
  For the requirement of improving the purity of the product, we can use large pore adsorption resin, recrystallization, and other methods to purify and enrich the sample.

• Concentration
  For liquid or paste products, we can help you with the production of plant extracts by using concentration methods. We perform quality control by monitoring factors such as temperature and vacuum.

• Drying
  For solid products, we can help you with the production of plant extracts by drying. We control factors such as inlet temperature, outlet temperature, and feed rate during the process.

• Testing
  While drying, we can continuously check the quality of the plant extracts using a variety of techniques.
