Marigold Herbal Extraction Plant – Rich in Lutein & Zeaxanthin
- Raw Material Selection: Fresh marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta) are harvested from pesticide-free farms. Vibrant yellow to orange blossoms with high lutein content are preferred for extraction.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Flowers are thoroughly washed to remove dirt, insects, and foreign materials. Manual sorting ensures only healthy and mature blooms are processed.
- Extraction Process: Solvent extraction is performed using hexane or ethanol in stainless steel reactors. The temperature is carefully maintained (45°C–60°C) to extract Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and carotenoids from the flower petals.
- Filtration and Concentration: The extract is filtered using multi-layer filtration systems to separate the liquid extract from the plant residue.
- Standardization: The extract is standardized for Lutein content (typically 5%–20%) using UV-Vis Spectrophotometry or HPLC methods to ensure consistency in every batch.
- Packaging and Storage: Extracts are packed in UV-protective containers or drums to prevent degradation. Storage in cool, dry conditions prolongs shelf life and stability.
