Production of Natural Pigments & Colors

Supercritical CO₂ Extraction for Natural Pigments & Colors

Supercritical CO₂ extraction is a clean, solvent-free, and efficient technology used to produce natural pigments and colors from botanical sources such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, and spices. This advanced process selectively extracts color compounds while preserving their natural intensity, stability, and purity.

The method delivers high-quality, contaminant-free natural colors suitable for food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and nutraceutical applications.

Key Advantages

  • Solvent-free and non-toxic extraction process
  • Preserves natural color intensity and stability
  • High-purity pigments with consistent quality
  • No chemical residues in final products
  • Selective extraction of natural color compounds
  • Environmentally friendly process with reusable CO₂
