Detailed Manufacturing Process Flow The production of high-purity grape seed extract involves a sophisticated, multi-stage process designed to maximize the yield of active proanthocyanidins and polyphenols while ensuring stringent quality and safety standards. Our Chinese factory utilizes advanced extraction and purification technologies to deliver a product of superior quality and consistency. Raw Material Sourcing & Inspection: Premium quality grape seeds ( Vitis vinifera L.) are meticulously selected from reputable vineyards, primarily as by-products of wine production. Each batch undergoes rigorous inspection for pesticide residues, heavy metals, moisture content, and microbial contamination, adhering to international standards. Cleaning & Crushing: The selected grape seeds are thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurities. Subsequently, they are crushed into a coarse powder to increase the surface area, facilitating efficient extraction of the active compounds. Solvent Extraction: A food-grade solvent (typically ethanol-water mixture) is used to extract the proanthocyanidins and polyphenols from the crushed grape seeds. This stage is optimized for temperature, time, and solvent ratio to achieve maximum yield while preserving the integrity of the bioactive compounds. Filtration & Concentration: The crude extract solution is filtered to remove insoluble plant materials. The filtered liquid then undergoes vacuum concentration at low temperatures to evaporate the solvent and increase the concentration of the active ingredients, forming a thick extract. Purification (Resin Adsorption/Membrane Separation): This critical stage ensures high purity. Advanced purification techniques such as macroporous resin adsorption chromatography or membrane separation are employed to isolate and concentrate the proanthocyanidins and polyphenols, effectively removing unwanted impurities, sugars, and tannins. This step is essential for achieving the "High Purity" specified for our Grape Seed Extract Powder Proanthocyanidins Polyphenols Chinese Factory High Purity . Drying: The purified liquid extract is then spray-dried or vacuum-dried into a fine powder. This process is carefully controlled to maintain the stability and bioavailability of the active compounds, preventing degradation. Milling & Sieving: The dried powder is milled to achieve a uniform particle size distribution, which is crucial for consistent solubility and application performance. It is then sieved to ensure the desired fineness. Quality Control & Packaging: The final powder undergoes comprehensive quality control testing (as detailed below) to verify purity, potency, microbial safety, and absence of contaminants. Once approved, it is packaged in airtight, food-grade container111s under controlled conditions to preserve its shelf life and integrity, ready for dispatch. Testing Standards and Service Life Our products conform to rigorous international testing standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP, Halal, and Kosher certifications. Each batch is subjected to third-party laboratory testing for verification of active compounds (e.g., total proanthocyanidins, OPCs by HPLC), heavy metals, pesticide residues, microbial limits, and residual solvents. The typical service life (shelf life) for our grape seed extract is 24 months when stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging.
