The extraction process
Plant extraction requires the right mix of a multitude of parameters to exploit the best properties of each plant. It increasingly requires scientific knowledge in fields as diverse as botany, the description of compounds of interest through analytical know-how, and process engineering. But above all, it remains an art in the right application of all these skills.
Today, thanks to its experience, Groupe Berkem has developed a perfect mastery of each of the factors involved in this process. The company offers its expertise in the manufacture of high-quality, innovative, tailor-made plant extracts.
