Cinnamon Bark Oleoresin Extraction Plant
The Cinnamon Bark Oleoresin Extraction Plant is a high-performance system engineered for the efficient extraction of oleoresin from dried cinnamon bark. Cinnamon oleoresin is a concentrated extract containing both volatile oils (primarily cinnamaldehyde) and non-volatile flavor compounds, offering rich aroma, deep flavor, and potent bioactivity. Widely used in food flavoring, perfumery, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, our plant ensures maximum yield, quality, and operational safety.
Process Description
The process begins with cleaning and pulverizing dried cinnamon bark to a fine powder to increase extraction efficiency. The powdered material is loaded into extractor vessels where it undergoes solvent extraction using food-safe solvents like ethanol or hexane. The cinnamon extract is then filtered, and the solvent is recovered through a vacuum distillation process, yielding a thick, dark brown oleoresin.
The system integrates:
- Bark pre-treatment and pulverization units
- Solvent extraction vessels
- Filtration and separation systems
- Vacuum evaporation and solvent recovery unit
- Oleoresin storage and packaging section
This closed-loop process ensures maximum extraction of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, while maintaining safety and minimizing solvent loss.
