Garlic Oleoresin Extraction Plant
The Garlic Oleoresin Extraction Plant is a specialized system designed to extract the aromatic and bioactive compounds from garlic cloves in a concentrated liquid form. Garlic oleoresin is rich in sulfur compounds, particularly allicin, which makes it highly valuable in the food seasoning, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. MechoTech’s advanced extraction technology ensures maximum yield, purity, and preservation of garlic’s distinctive flavor and therapeutic properties.
Process Description
The process starts by cleaning, peeling, and crushing the garlic cloves to release the essential bioactive compounds. The crushed garlic is then subjected to solvent extraction using food-safe solvents like ethanol or hexane. After the active components are extracted, the mixture is filtered and the solvent is separated through a distillation and recovery system.
Key stages include:
- Crushing and pre-treatment
- Solvent-based extraction
- Filtration and purification
- Vacuum evaporation and solvent recovery
- Oleoresin concentration and collection
The entire plant is designed for hygienic operation, ensuring minimal oxidation or degradation of sensitive compounds like allicin and diallyl sulfide.
