Overview
At United Bioscience, we pride ourselves on delivering the purest capsaicin extract on the market. Our advanced supercritical CO2 extraction methods ensure a solvent-free product, setting us apart from traditional extraction methods that often leave behind harmful residues like hexane.
The Problem with Traditional Capsaicin Extraction
Many conventional methods of capsaicin extraction rely on solvents like hexane to separate the active compound from raw chili peppers. While effective, this approach poses significant challenges:
- Chemical Residues: Trace amounts of hexane often remain in the final product, compromising safety and quality.
- Environmental Impact: Solvent-based processes generate chemical waste, posing risks to the environment.
- Flavor and Purity Issues: Residual solvents affect the flavor and reduce the overall purity of the extract.
Why Solvent-Free Matters
Solvent-free capsaicin is how we, at United BioScience, provide a cleaner, safer product. Here are some key benefits:
- Safety: No residual solvents means a safer product for the consumer.
- Purity: Solvent-free extraction preserves the integrity of capsaicin, ensuring a high-quality extract.
- Compliance: Meeting or exceeding regulatory standards for chemical-free products in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The Supercritical CO2 Extraction Advantage
Our cutting-edge supercritical CO2 extraction technology ensures a solvent-free process while producing the purest capsaicin on the market. Here’s how it works:
- Selective Solubility: Supercritical CO2 acts as a tunable solvent, allowing precise extraction of capsaicin without the use of chemicals like hexane.
- Environmentally Friendly: CO2 is non-toxic, recyclable, and leaves no harmful residues behind, making it an eco-conscious choice.
- Preserves Bioactivity: The gentle extraction process maintains the delicate structure of capsaicin, ensuring maximum bioavailability and potency.
