Production
The production of the natural CO2 total extract from rosehip for foods takes place in Bulgaria, a country with proven quality in the cultivation and processing of medicinal and food plants. The fruits of Rosa canina are harvested from controlled natural sites, free of chemical treatments and where sustainable agricultural practices are applied. After harvesting and manual selection, rosehip is dried at low temperatures, to fully preserve all thermolabile ingredients, including vitamins and essential components. The extraction method used is supercritical CO2 an exceptionally gentle technology, in which carbon dioxide is used at low temperature and pressure, to extract only the most valuable fractions of the plant. This method uses no solvents and leaves no residues, which makes it exceptionally suitable for food applications. The finished rosehip extract is precisely filtered and undergoes laboratory analysis for microbiological purity and stability. Small quantities from 0.010 to 0.500 kg are stored in dark glass bottles, which protect the product from light, oxidation and temperature changes, while larger packages from 1 to 180 kg are packed in specialised aluminium containers resistant to food contact. Packaging is carried out in accordance with all food safety requirements, including HACCP and ISO standards, with each batch traceable through full documentation. The entire production process complies with international standards for good manufacturing practice (GMP) and ensures that the resulting extract is safe, stable and ready for direct or industrial use in foods and food formulas.
