HERBAL EXTRACTS
Although herbal extracts come in many forms, they have one common feature. Extracts represent naturally occurring phytochemicals (plant produced compounds) that have been removed from the inert structural material of the plant that produced them. The main advantage of using extracts over raw herb is that once extracted from the plant matrix, the phytochemicals bypass the need for digestion and are far more readily absorbable. Liquid extracts also offer greater convenience than consuming an herb in its raw form.
Extracts are typically categorized by the solvent used to make them and/or by their form. Some of the more common solvents that are used include water, alcohol, glycerin etc. The inherent qualities of each of these solvents will attract different phytochemicals in an herb.
Powdered extracts are formed by drying liquid extracts including tinctures and water extracts, often under vacuum. Powdered extracts are most commonly used in capsules and tablets. Because the solvent is removed from the final product, some powdered extracts are made with solvents other than ethanol and water.
Supercritical extracts are made by extracting herbs with a gas, usually carbon dioxide, at low temperature and high pressure to bring it into the supercritical state. These are semi-solid extracts representing the fat-soluble components of an herb that are generally seen in softgel form.
Application
Herb extracts can be used across industries like health & wellness, personal care and medicinal purposes.
Why Herbal Extract?
Some herbs can be and often are eaten directly. Most commonly, these are the herbs and spices used in cooking. These can help recipes taste great, but many of the phytochemicals in them have reduced absorption due to the matrix of the plant they are part of and the food they are eaten with.
Extraction essentially predigests the herb, separating the desired phytochemicals from the structural matrix of the plant that produced them. This allows the phytochemicals to be thoroughly and easily absorbed without further extraction of the herbal material in the gut.
Extracts are also much more convenient for regular use. Many medicinal herbs have extremely strong tastes and may be tough or woody, making their direct consumption unpleasant and even impractical.
