Ultrasonic pigment extraction

Safflower, alias safflower grass, safflower vegetables, belong to the dry tubular flower Compositae, it is used in ancient folk cosmetics as a dye.

Most of the applied pigments in the modern food industry and cosmetic industry are synthetic pigments. Although they have the advantages of bright color, good stability and easy to fade, most of them are toxic and endanger people’s health. So synthetic pigment is gradually replaced by natural pigment.

Saffron red pigments not only as a pigment additive can be used for food and beverage, but also for the role of anti-health cosmetics, is an ideal natural pigment. Extraction and application of safflower red pigment has more and more important economic and social benefits.

The shortcomings of the traditional process of extraction of safflower red pigment: extraction time is too long, more impurities, is not conducive to separation and so on.

CHEERSONIC ultrasonic for the extraction of Chinese herbal medicine Prosonic1000 ultrasonic extraction equipment to solve the shortcomings of the traditional extraction process.

The ultrasonic energy produces strong shock waves and micro-jets inside the liquid, and local high temperature and high pressure cause multiple secondary effects, thus accelerating the mass transfer and heat transfer rate of the system. During the extraction process, the impinging stream can effectively reduce the retardation layer between the solvent and the aqueous phase and accelerate the diffusion of the solute, which greatly accelerates the extraction process.

The advantages of CHEERSONIC ultrasonic extraction equipment: extraction is simple and fast, low impurity and high efficiency, ultrasonic extraction will not destroy the active ingredients of plants.
