Cinnamon Bark Extract Powder

Cinnamon Bark Extract Powder - 20% - 30% by UV

Mechotech supplies the complete machinery for cinnamon bark extract powder production, standardised to 20%-30% polyphenols by UV. Cinnamon (Cinnamomum) bark is rich in type-A proanthocyanidins and other polyphenols valued for antioxidant and metabolic-support activity. Our turnkey plant extracts, concentrates, and spray-dries these actives into a standardised free-flowing powder for the nutraceutical, functional food, and pharmaceutical markets.

Mechotech designs and manufactures the cinnamon bark extract powder extraction plant as a turnkey solution with SS 316L construction, low-temperature aqueous-ethanol extraction, integrated solvent recovery, and spray drying. The process is engineered to protect the heat-sensitive polyphenol and proanthocyanidin fraction while achieving a consistent 20%-30% assay by UV and low moisture, meeting FSSAI, WHO-GMP, and export-grade specifications.

Manufacturing Process

1

Raw Material Preparation

Dried cinnamon bark is authenticated, tested for moisture (target below 10%), and milled to 0.5–2 mm particle size to maximise solvent contact and polyphenol release before extraction.

2

Extraction

Milled bark is extracted with warm water or aqueous ethanol (40–70% v/v) in closed jacketed SS 316L extractors at 50–70°C. Multiple cycles with fresh solvent maximise proanthocyanidin and polyphenol recovery while limiting thermal degradation.

3

Filtration

The extract (miscella) is clarified through a plate-and-frame filter press followed by 1–5 micron cartridge polish filters to remove bark particulates before concentration.

4

Vacuum Concentration

The clarified miscella is concentrated in a falling-film evaporator at 50–65°C under vacuum. Greater than 95% ethanol recovery is achieved through the condenser return system, reducing operating cost and solvent discharge.

5

Standardisation

The concentrate is assayed by UV for total polyphenol content and blended or maltodextrin-adjusted to the declared 20%-30% specification before drying.

6

Spray Drying & Quality Control

The standardised concentrate is spray-dried to a free-flowing powder with controlled inlet/outlet temperature to preserve the actives. Each batch undergoes UV assay, residual solvent, heavy metals, microbial, and moisture testing before release.

Applications

  • Nutraceutical antioxidant capsule and tablet formulations
  • Blood-sugar and metabolic-health supplement blends
  • Functional food and dietary supplement manufacturing
  • Pharmaceutical standardised botanical ingredient supply
  • Cosmetic and personal care active ingredient supply
  • Export to nutraceutical ingredient buyers in regulated markets

Key Features

  • GMP-Compliant SS 316L Construction

    All product-contact surfaces are electropolished SS 316L, meeting WHO-GMP and Schedule M requirements for botanical extract manufacturing, with clean-in-place (CIP) operation between batches.

  • Polyphenol Fraction Protection

    Closed low-temperature extraction and vacuum concentration at 50–65°C preserve the heat-sensitive proanthocyanidin and polyphenol fraction, holding the powder within its declared 20%-30% assay by UV.

  • Closed-Loop Solvent Recovery (>95%)

    Integrated condenser-distillation recovery returns greater than 95% of the ethanol per batch, cutting variable operating cost and meeting CPCB solvent discharge norms.

  • Integrated Spray Drying

    A matched spray dryer converts the standardised concentrate into a free-flowing, low-moisture polyphenol powder ready for encapsulation and blending, completing the turnkey powder line.

  • Scalable Batch Capacity

    Plants are configured from 100 kg/batch pilot scale to 2,000+ kg/batch commercial capacity, with a modular design that allows expansion without replacing core equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cinnamon bark extract powder and why is it commercially extracted?
Cinnamon bark extract powder is the concentrated, spray-dried extract of cinnamon bark, standardised to 20%-30% polyphenols by UV. It is extracted to deliver cinnamon's antioxidant proanthocyanidins in a stable, consistently dosed form for nutraceutical, functional food, and pharmaceutical use — unlike raw bark, which has variable content.
Does Mechotech supply the machinery for cinnamon bark extract powder?
Yes. Mechotech supplies the complete turnkey machinery — extraction vessels, filtration, vacuum concentration with solvent recovery, and spray drying — engineered, fabricated at our Hyderabad facility, installed, and commissioned as a single performance-verified plant.
What extraction method does Mechotech use for cinnamon bark extract powder?
Mechotech uses closed low-temperature aqueous or aqueous-ethanol extraction to recover the proanthocyanidin polyphenols, followed by vacuum concentration and spray drying. The process is engineered around the heat-sensitive chemistry of cinnamon polyphenols to maximise assay and yield.
What production capacities are available for the cinnamon bark extract powder plant?
Mechotech manufactures cinnamon bark extract powder plants from 100 kg/batch pilot systems to 2,000+ kg/batch commercial plants. Capacity is selected based on raw material supply, confirmed buyer volume, and investment timeline, and we recommend a pilot plant to validate process parameters before scaling.
