Star Anise Seeds & Berries Distillation Plant

A seeds and berries distillation plant is a facility that extracts essential oils, aromatics, and bioactive compounds from a variety of seeds (like fennel, coriander, cumin) and berries (such as juniper, amla, or black pepper berries). These oils are valued for their flavor, fragrance, and therapeutic properties, and are widely used in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and wellness industries.

Key Processes in a Seeds & Berries Distillation Plant

• Raw Material Preparation: Seeds and berries are cleaned, dried, and sometimes crushed to optimize oil release.
• Steam or Hydro Distillation: Steam passes through the plant material, vaporizing the essential oils, which are then condensed back into liquid.
• Oil-Water Separation: The distillate is collected and the essential oil is separated from the hydrosol (floral water).
• Filtration and Quality Testing: Oils are filtered and tested for purity and potency.
• Bottling and Packaging: Final oils are stored in airtight containers to maintain quality and shelf life.

Applications

• Food & Beverage: Flavoring agents and natural preservatives.
• Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Digestive aids, antioxidants, and immunity boosters.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used in skincare, haircare, and fragrances.
• Aromatherapy: Relaxation, stress relief, and therapeutic use.
