Description
Our natural CO2 supercritical extract of dandelion for foods is a high-quality botanical concentrate intended for use as a functional ingredient in the food industry. Extracted from the roots of Taraxacum Officinale – dandelion, traditionally used in folk and functional medicine – this extract combines natural purity, a delicate aroma, and valuable bioactive compounds. The extraction is carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide – an innovative and gentle technology that preserves the full profile of plant components without the need for solvents, preservatives, or stabilizers. The resulting dandelion extract for foods has a liquid consistency and a natural light brown to greenish hue, characterized by a fresh, fine, and slightly herbal aroma, subtle and pleasant to the senses. Thanks to its mildness and high degree of purification, the product is suitable for various food applications – from functional foods, healthy desserts, and organic drinks to superfoods, supplements, and flavored oils. The extract can be used both to provide a naturally herbal nuance in culinary compositions and as a source of phytoactive substances beneficial for the digestive system, metabolism, and overall body tone. It is suitable for vegan and organic concepts, as well as allergen-free formulations, as it contains no gluten, lactose, colorants, synthetic flavors, or other additives. The product complies with all requirements for use in foods in accordance with European and international legislation, ensuring a high level of safety, purity, and functionality.

Production
The production process of our natural CO2 supercritical extract of dandelion for foods begins with the careful selection of Taraxacum Officinale plants grown naturally in ecologically clean regions of Bulgaria. After precise hand harvesting, the roots are cleaned, dried, and prepared for extraction under controlled conditions. The method used is supercritical CO₂ extraction – an advanced technology in which carbon dioxide is brought to a state of high pressure and temperature, becoming a solvent capable of extracting only fat-soluble and volatile active components from the plant material. The process is carried out without high temperatures or oxidation, thus preserving the natural profile of the compounds – including inulin, phytosterols, flavonoids, and other bioactive molecules. The dandelion extract undergoes careful filtration and microbiological control without the addition of any synthetic ingredients. The entire process is conducted under strict hygienic conditions and in accordance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), certified to international standards such as ISO and HACCP. The final formula is stabilized using only physical methods and bottled in a protected environment that ensures the preservation of taste, aroma, and functional properties. Each batch is accompanied by a certificate of analysis and a declaration of origin, and the production process is fully traceable – from raw material collection to final packaging. Thanks to this approach, the product maintains its quality and stability across a wide range of food applications.

Advantages
Our natural CO2 supercritical extract of dandelion for foods offers a number of significant advantages that make it an excellent choice for creating modern, healthy, and functional food products. The product contains no added preservatives, stabilizers, flavorings, or colorants, making it suitable for organic, vegan, gluten-free, and clean label formulations. The high level of purity achieved through supercritical CO₂ extraction ensures that the extract retains valuable biologically active components – including inulin, bitter substances, and trace elements – which contribute to overall metabolic balance, digestive system support, and liver detoxification. Thanks to its light, airy aroma and neutral consistency, dandelion extract can be integrated into various types of products – from cold and hot drinks (teas, functional juices, smoothies), through solid foods (bars, biscuits, powdered supplements), to fats and sauces (including infused oils or dressings). It is especially suitable for the development of nutraceutical foods and superfoods, where both flavor profile and functional value are sought. In addition, it has good shelf stability and can be combined with other natural CO2 extracts, essential oils, and herbal concentrates. Due to the absence of allergens and high safety standards, the product is also suitable for children and sensitive consumers. An added advantage is the sustainable and eco-friendly production model, which minimizes the carbon footprint and waste from the process. The extract is fully compliant with European food regulations and can be used by both industrial manufacturers and small artisanal or craft producers.
