Scientific processing

Don't just extract. Engineer the ingredient.

POABS Nutraceuticals develops and controls extraction technologies through its scientific team.

Our technology platform can cover:

A single botanical particle floats in darkness beside a stylised train of transparent glass process vessels.

01 / 08

Aqueous extraction

Water as the extraction medium.

The particle drops into a glass vessel of clear water; a soft plume of colour begins to leave it.

02 / 08

Hydro-alcoholic extraction

Blends of water and alcohol as the extraction medium.

A second vessel holds a water–alcohol blend; the plume deepens as the particle passes through.

03 / 08

Solvent extraction

Selected solvents matched to the target constituents.

A tall glass column with a selected solvent; banded layers separate around the particle.

04 / 08

Concentration

Reducing solvent to concentrate the extract.

The liquid is drawn into a concentrator; its volume reduces and the colour intensifies.

05 / 08

Purification

Separating the wanted fraction from unwanted material.

The concentrate passes through a fine filtration stage; unwanted material is left behind.

06 / 08

Standardization

Bringing each batch to a defined specification.

Measurement rings lock around the liquid as it is brought to a defined specification.

07 / 08

Drying

Converting extract into a stable dry material.

The liquid enters a drying chamber and atomises into a fine mist.

08 / 08

Powder engineering

Shaping particle properties for the intended format.

The objective is not simply maximum extraction yield.

The objective is reproducible quality with commercially viable economics.

The mist settles into a precise volume of uniform powder particles.

Our scientific philosophy

Natural materials vary.

So our objective is to control the variables that matter.

We combine

  1. Botanical science
  2. Phytochemistry
  3. Extraction technology
  4. Analytical science
  5. Formulation technology
  6. Quality systems
  7. Manufacturing science

to transform variable natural resources into reproducible, specification-driven ingredients.

Raw-material identity

Every botanical begins with the right starting material.

We focus on:

  • Botanical identity
  • Correct plant part
  • Cultivation origin
  • Harvest conditions
  • Traceability
  • Quality parameters
  • Contaminant control
  • Marker-compound expectations

Green extraction technologies

Cleaner routes to the same molecule.

Modern nutraceutical research increasingly relies on eco-friendly extraction methods that minimize toxic solvents, reduce energy consumption, and preserve bioactive compounds.

Objective Our objective is to select the extraction route that best preserves the target molecule, including green technologies where they suit the material and the specification.

Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SCFE)

Principle
Uses carbon dioxide above its critical temperature and pressure, where it behaves like both a liquid and a gas.
Advantages
  • Non-toxic and leaves no harmful residues.
  • Selective extraction of bioactives with tunable pressure and temperature.
  • Suited to heat-sensitive compounds.
Applications
Widely used for extracting essential oils, nutraceuticals and bioactives at high purity.

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES)

Principle
Natural mixtures — for example choline chloride with organic acids — that form a liquid with unique solubilizing properties.
Advantages
  • Biodegradable and renewable.
  • Effective for semi-polar phytochemicals that are poorly soluble in CO₂ alone.
  • Can be tailored for selectivity by adjusting composition.
Applications
Enhances recovery of flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids; of growing interest for nutraceutical and cosmetic applications.

Partner manufacturing with POABS technology control

The manufacturing activity may be outsourced.The scientific control is not.

POABS Nutraceuticals follows a technology-controlled manufacturing model.

Where appropriate, production is executed through qualified and audited CMO manufacturing units located strategically close to our sourcing and operating ecosystem.

This allows POABS to combine asset-light manufacturing scalability with strong scientific and quality oversight.

Our team defines and monitors:

  1. Raw-material specifications
  2. Process parameters
  3. Extraction methodology
  4. Critical Quality Attributes
  5. Critical Process Parameters
  6. In-process controls
  7. Analytical requirements
  8. Batch documentation
  9. Final product specifications

Quality by Design

We believe quality should not be tested into a product at the end. Quality must be designed into the entire process.
