The 3 step manufacturing process:
- Maceration in ethanol-water solution.
- Concentration by evaporation (distillation).
- Filtration and addition of glycerine.
In the preparation of liquid extracts, great care is applied to protect active ingredients which is done by cold maceration. Laboratory results show that there is generally a higher concentration of active ingredients in the final products compared to water extracts.
The second step of distillation secures an optimal concentration and reduces alcohol content to below 5%.
The last step in the production of liquid extracts is the stabilisation which requires the addition of glycerine (also known as E422). The concentration factor (1:5) therefore remains the same for each and every single substance throughout every new batch.
