Research & Development
Our Research & Development Department is a strategic competence center focused on creating advanced botanical extract solutions for the nutraceutical market. We combine scientific expertise, process technology, and analytical capabilities to develop products and technologies that meet growing expectations in terms of quality, functionality, and regulatory alignment.
Process Technology
Our work is based on the integration of proven processing methods with advanced technological solutions.
Alongside core unit operations such as extraction, concentration, and drying, we develop and optimize processes involving membrane separation technologies and resin-based purification.
Whenever standard approaches are not sufficient, we design proprietary process concepts tailored to the specific characteristics of the raw material and the target profile of the final product.
