How the Herbal Extraction Process Works?
- Raw material preparation: Herbs are cleaned, dried where required, and sized so the solvent can reach the active compounds efficiently.
- Loading: The prepared material is charged into the extraction vessel.
- Extraction: A suitable solvent, such as water, alcohol, or a hydro-alcoholic mix, circulates through the material under controlled temperature to draw out the active compounds.
- Separation: The extract rich liquid is separated from the spent herb material.
- Concentration and recovery: The solvent is evaporated and recovered for reuse, leaving a concentrated extract.
- Collection: The final extract is collected in liquid, semi-solid, or dried form, depending on the product.
