Supercritical
CO2 extraction is an efficient separation method, to separate active
ingredients from plant material. Supercritical solvent extraction is one of the
gentlest, most flexible, dynamic and nature friendly techniques used for the
extraction of spices, herbs and flowers using food grade CO2. These
are the products extracted at ambient temperatures and at high pressures to
avoid loss of aroma and degradation of actives. Apart from being solvent
residue free, supercritical fluid extraction is a green process, highly rated
for its eco-friendliness. The low viscosity and high diffusivity of
supercritical fluid enhances the penetrating power based on the high mass
transfer of solutes into the fluid.
Supercritical
extraction using CO2 is considered organic compatible and widely
used in the manufacturing of organic certified products. Kancor, with its
global sourcing capabilities, more than two decades of expertise in CO2
extraction and wide range of products, offers an edge over others in this world
of discerning tastes. Supercritical CO2 extraction is known for
producing a high-quality product primarily because the CO2 gas can
reach its supercritical point at pressures and temperatures that don’t damage
the cannabinoids and terpenes being harvested.
Himalayan
Cedar, Cedrus deodara (Roxb. ex D. Don) (Pinales: Pinaceae),
is found abundantly throughout the western Himalayas at altitudes of 1200–3000
m. Cedrus deodara is also known as Himalayan cedar. That is due to the fact
that it is beside Nepal and India native to the Himalayas. In the Himalayans
Cedrus deodara occurs till 3000 m above sea level. However the Himalayan cedar
got nearly extinct in its natural habitat. Cedrus deodara can reach a height of
35 m in nature. In Germany it stays a little bit smaller. In its first 10 years
the Himalayan cedar grows fast, reaching 10 m after 10 years. With aging
growing slows down. The habitus of Cedrus deodara is bushy and cone- shaped.
This makes the Himalayan cedar especially an eye catcher even if it is planted
solitary. The bark is grayish and scaly; the branches grow horizontal to the
trunk, generating an angle of almost 90°. The wood was used in India to build
ships. Cedrus deodara has the longest needles of all cedar species. In young
years the needles are soft and flexible. With aging they get darker. The
Himalayan cedar is mostly diecious. The male flowers are cylindric and
yellowish to reddish in color whereas the female flowers are light green and
longish. After pollination it takes one year until the Himalayan cedar bears fruits
and another two years until the fruits are ripe. In Europe it is quite
infrequent to see a Cedrus deodara flowering. It is cultivated there because of
its nice habitus. The Himalayan cedar does not tolerate very cold winters like
they are usual in parts of Europe. It needs some protection during winter
especially if it is still young.
Cedarwood oil
has relaxing effect on the mind. It has a great soothing, calming, and sedating
effects on the mind. It also induces sleep in patients suffering from insomnia.
The oil's sedative effects have been clinically proven by Japanese researchers.
The essential oil of cedarwood is high in antiseptic and astringent properties
used to treat various skin disorders.
Cedar essential
oil in pharma
An essential oil
obtained from the distilled branches is a good antiseptic and fungicide that
stimulates the circulatory and respiratory systems and calms the nerves. The
oil is also astringent, diuretic, expectorant and sedative. Diluted with a
carrier oil such as almond and massaged into the skin it is used in the
treatment of skin diseases, ulcers, chest infections, catarrh, cystitis and
dandruff. It is used as an inhalant for treating bronchitis, tuberculosis and
nervous tension. An infusion of the branches can also be used.
Essence of Cedar
essential oil
An essential oil
obtained from the distilled branches is used in perfumery, notably in
jasmine-scented soaps. The essential oil also repels insects. Plants can be
grown as a tall hedge. Wood - fragrant and durable. It is prized for joinery
and veneer and is also used in construction. It is also used for making
insect-repellent articles for storing textiles.
