Herbal & Spice Extracts

CO2 technology allows for the selective isolation of valued components in nature. FeyeCon uses its know-how to capture these valuable ingredients and maintain their integrity in high quality herb and spice extracts. 

PRODUCT ADVANTAGES
By using supercritical fluid extraction it is possible to produce extracts of higher concentration than extracts derived from steam distillation. Increases in product yield up to 15-20% have been achieved by using CO2 processing. Final products are free from residual solvents, heavy metals and pesticides. Product shelf life can also be considerably enhanced, as extracts are free of microbial contamination. The CO2 process takes place at relatively low temperatures which makes it suitable for the isolation of temperature sensitive compounds. Such products can also be officially certified for organic, kosher and other classifications.

YOUR ADVANTAGES
Supercritical fluid extraction is increasingly preferred over conventional extraction methods because it is simple, fast, inexpensive, effective and selective.
