Manufacturing and R&D

Three manufacturing units, a dedicated research centre and our head office, all within 20 km of each other in Kochi.

How we process

Steam distillation

Essential oils distilled from spices, roots, bark, leaves and herbs, keeping their natural character.

Fractional distillation

Columns of varying heights, fitted with Sulzer structured packing, separate individual natural isolates precisely.

Supercritical CO2 extraction

Solvent-free oils and extracts that stay true to the natural taste and aroma of the botanical, through a cleaner, greener process.

Solvent extraction

Spice oleoresins and resinoids: concentrates of a spice’s oil and resin, standardised to the active principle and volatile oil you need.

    Sourcing

    We work with farmers who follow traditional, eco-friendly practices, and run field distillation units at the source of most of our raw materials for better oil recovery.

    Production

    Raw materials are processed with minimal intervention to keep their natural character, using steam and fractional distillation, solvent extraction and supercritical CO2 extraction.

    Testing

    Every batch is tested by our team of scientists in our in-house laboratory before release.
