Milk Thistle Seed Herbal Extraction Plant
- Raw Material Selection: Premium-grade Milk Thistle seeds (Silybum marianum) are sourced from clean and reliable cultivations. The seeds are selected based on maturity, color, and oil content to ensure high levels of active compounds like silymarin.
- Cleaning and Preparation: Seeds are thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, husk, and impurities using air classifiers and vibrating sieves. Only fully developed, undamaged seeds proceed to the extraction process.
- Extraction Process: The powdered material is subjected to hydro-alcoholic extraction using food-grade ethanol in SS316 extraction vessels. The temperature is maintained around 60–70°C for optimal silymarin yield.
- Filtration and Concentration: The extract is passed through multi-stage filtration systems to eliminate all coarse and fine residues, ensuring a clear liquid rich in silymarin.
- Standardization: The final extract is standardized to 80% Silymarin (by HPLC) or as per client specifications to ensure consistent quality in every batch.
- Packaging and Storage: The powder is packed in airtight, moisture-proof HDPE drums or aluminum-lined bags, stored in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight to maintain shelf life and potency.
