Botanical & Ethanol Extraction?
Botanical Extraction is the process of isolating desired target compounds, like the essential oils that make up the true essence of any given botanical material, and using them in a concentrated form. Hence, the term “concentrate.” The concentrate can then be used for its scent, flavor, or medicinal powers. The ultimate goal is to maximize the yield and purity of the active ingredients while preserving their natural qualities.
Ethanol Extraction is considered one of the cleanest and most efficient methods for obtaining highly potent concentrates from botanical materials. This process uses high-proof food-grade ethanol, such as grain alcohol, as a solvent to extract aromatic, flavorful, or medicinal oils from the plant material. Ethanol is particularly effective due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds without leaving harmful residues. Once the ethanol has absorbed the desired compounds from the plant, a tincture is formed. By carefully removing the ethanol, through evaporation or distillation, the remaining product is a concentrated extract that retains a full spectrum of bioactive compounds. This makes ethanol extraction a preferred choice for producing clean, potent, and versatile extracts used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and natural remedies.
