Garlic Oleoresin Extraction Plant

A Garlic Oleoresin Extraction Plant is a facility designed to extract concentrated natural compounds from garlic cloves to produce garlic oleoresin, a highly valued flavoring and medicinal ingredient. The process involves cleaning and drying garlic, followed by grinding into a coarse powder. This powder is subjected to solvent extraction, commonly using food-grade solvents like ethanol or hexane, which dissolve the essential oils and active compounds from the garlic. The extract is then separated from the solvent through evaporation or distillation, yielding a thick, aromatic oleoresin rich in garlic’s characteristic flavor and health-promoting compounds. The plant requires specialized equipment including garlic cleaners, grinders, extraction tanks, solvent recovery systems, and concentration units. Efficient solvent recovery and careful processing ensure high-quality oleoresin suitable for use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
