Botanical extracts are concentrated plant materials that possess therapeutic properties. They are produced by extracting raw botanical materials-often consisting of one or more plant components-using a solvent. These extracts are commonly used as ingredients in dietary supplements.
Primary technologies utilized for botanical extract production encompass CO2 extraction, solvent extraction, steam distillation, enfleurage, and additional methods. CO2 extraction, recognized as supercritical CO2 extraction, represents a contemporary approach particularly adept at crafting lipophilic plant extracts. Derived from diverse sources such as spices, herbs, flowers, and leaves, these extracts manifest in liquid, powder, or semi-solid forms. Widely applicable across multiple sectors, they serve diverse purposes spanning food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics.
