Production
Our natural CO2 select extract from immortelle for foods is produced in Bulgaria, using only the stalks of Helichrysum italicum, naturally grown in ecologically clean regions. The raw material is collected at a suitable stage of development, when the concentration of aromatic and biologically active compounds is highest. Extraction is carried out through supercritical extraction with carbon dioxide, a technology in which CO2 in a supercritical state serves as an effective and neutral solvent. This method is extremely suitable for foods, as it leaves no residues and does not require high temperature, which preserves the quality and completeness of the aromatic and functional components. After extraction, the immortelle extract is filtered and stabilised, being stored in a protected environment until packaging. Small packages from 0.010 to 0.500 kg are bottled in dark glass bottles, while larger quantities from 1 to 180 kg are stored in aluminium bottles, cans or drums, which protect the product from light, heat and oxidation. The production process complies with international requirements for hygiene and quality in the food sector, HACCP, ISO, GMP, and each batch undergoes analytical control, including microbiological analysis, organoleptic evaluation and chemical profile. The product is accompanied by specifications, certificates of origin and declarations of conformity, required for its use as a food ingredient in the EU and the international market.
