Clove Oleoresin Extraction Plant
The Clove Oleoresin Extraction Plant is engineered for efficient extraction of clove oleoresin from dried clove buds using solvent extraction technology. Clove oleoresin is a concentrated form of the spice, widely used in food flavoring, pharmaceuticals, perfumery, and aromatherapy. Our plant delivers high-yield, premium-quality oleoresin with optimal retention of active compounds like eugenol, ensuring purity, potency, and performance.
Process Description
The process begins with grinding the dried cloves into a fine powder to enhance the surface area for extraction. This powder is then subjected to solvent extraction using food-grade solvents such as ethanol or hexane in a multi-stage extraction system. The resulting extract undergoes solvent recovery, followed by evaporation and concentration processes under vacuum to obtain a thick, dark brown oleoresin.
The plant design includes specialized systems for:
- Solvent extraction vessels
- Distillation and solvent recovery units
- Vacuum evaporation chambers
- Filtration and deodorization systems
This turnkey solution ensures minimal loss of volatile compounds and efficient separation of essential oil components from the raw spice.
