INTRODUCTION

MYK Bioactives International Private Limited specializes in three cutting-edge extraction processes: Solvent Extraction Technique, Supercritical Fluid Extraction, and Steam Distillation Process.

About Bioactives

Bioactives are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, animals, and microorganisms that exhibit biological activity and contribute to human health. These bioactive compounds encompass a diverse array of molecules, including polyphenols, flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenes, among others. Bioactives exert various physiological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer properties, making them valuable ingredients in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and functional foods.

Processes and Techniques

Solvent Extraction Technique

Supercritical Fluid Extraction

Solvent Extraction Technique utilizes solvents to extract bioactive compounds from raw materials, offering versatility and efficiency in obtaining desired ingredients. This method is widely employed in industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics for its effectiveness in isolating target compounds.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction

Supercritical Fluid Extraction

Supercritical Fluid Extraction employs supercritical fluids, such as carbon dioxide, to extract bioactive compounds from raw materials. This method offers high selectivity, low environmental impact, and produces purer extracts compared to traditional solvent extraction techniques.

Steam Distillation Process

Steam Distillation Process

Steam Distillation Process is a traditional method for extracting essential oils and volatile compounds from plant materials by passing steam through the raw material. This gentle yet effective technique preserves the natural aroma and therapeutic properties of the extracts, making it a preferred method in aromatherapy and herbal medicine.
