About Kateri CO2 Extract
CO₂ extraction uses pressurized carbon dioxide at low temperatures to extract active compounds from Solanum xanthocarpum (Kateri) without chemical solvents. The key advantages are no solvent residue, better preservation of heat-sensitive compounds, high purity, and a true-to-plant profile, making it ideal for premium, clean-label food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes Kateri CO2 Extract superior to solvent-extracted Kateri?
Kateri CO2 Extract (Solanum xanthocarpum) is obtained using supercritical carbon dioxide, which means zero solvent residues remain in the final product. Unlike hexane or ethanol extractions, CO2 extraction preserves the delicate bioactive profile of Kateri in its most authentic form — resulting in an extract that is cleaner, purer, and truly representative of the original plant material.
2. How does Kateri CO2 Extract retain its original aroma and flavour?
Supercritical CO2 operates at low temperatures and controlled pressure, which prevents thermal degradation of volatile and heat-sensitive compounds in Kateri. This means the extract retains the true-to-nature aroma, flavour, and colour profile of the original kateri plant material — something conventional distillation or solvent extraction often fails to achieve.
3. Why is a smaller dose of Kateri CO2 Extract more effective?
CO2 extraction yields a highly concentrated form of Kateri, including its key active constituents (solasodine and solanine, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, sterols such as β-sitosterol, phenolic compounds), because it selectively extracts the most desirable compounds with exceptional efficiency. This means you need significantly less quantity compared to conventional extracts to achieve the same or better results, making it cost-effective despite its premium positioning.
4. What are the different ways Kateri CO2 Extract can be used?
Kateri CO2 Extract is versatile and finds applications across multiple industries. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used in serums, creams, and formulations for its potent bioactives. In the food and nutraceutical industry, it serves as a natural flavouring and functional ingredient. It is also used in aromatherapy, pharmaceutical preparations, and as a premium ingredient in Ayurvedic and herbal formulations.
5. What makes Kateri CO2 Extract a premium-grade ingredient?
The premium nature of Kateri CO2 Extract comes from the advanced supercritical extraction technology, the absence of any chemical solvent, and the resulting unmatched purity and potency. It is solvent-free, rich in natural phytochemicals, and offers a concentration ratio that delivers superior performance in every application — from skincare formulations to flavour compounds and wellness products.
