With advanced technology in plant extraction and essential oil production, PEROMA Vietnam optimally harnesses bioactive compounds, effectively applying them in the processing of food and animal feed.
Metabolism encompasses all biochemical reactions occurring within an organism. Secondary metabolites are compounds that do not directly participate in the organism’s growth, development, and reproduction processes. However, many secondary metabolites contain potent bioactive substances with positive effects such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-cancer properties. These compounds are utilized as pharmaceuticals or valuable food additives.
The bioactive compounds extracted from plants by PEROMA Vietnam fall into two main product categories: Extracts and Essential Oils. Depending on the type of raw materials and specific purposes, various methods and technologies are employed to efficiently recover bioactive compounds. These efforts serve multiple applications in the processing of food and animal feed.
PLANT EXTRACTION
Extraction is the process of recovering compounds that are soluble in solvents. There are two main methods
Hot extraction method: Applied to heat-resistant bioactive compounds, optimizing solvent factors, temperature, pH, and stirring speed.
Cold extraction method: Applied to heat-sensitive bioactive compounds, optimizing enzyme factors, solvent, temperature, pH, and grinding pressure.
PEROMA Vietnam has researched and produced various high-value plant extracts, providing efficiency and meeting the trends of safety, naturalness, and health benefits for the food processing industry, such as dairy, beverages, confectionery, and animal feed. Some characteristic applications include:
Natural color extracts: Extracts from purple cabbage leaves (Anthocyanin >1%), butterfly pea flowers (Anthocyanin >1%), red dragon fruit peel (Betacyanin and Anthocyanin >1%), beetroot extract (Betacyanin >1%), hibiscus extract (Anthocyanin >1%), replacing synthetic colorants, ensuring safety in food processing.
Some of the plant extract products manufactured by PEROMA Vietnam include
Rich bioactive extracts: Extracts from saffron flowers (Crocin and Safranal – nerve support), green tea extracts (Polyphenol – antioxidant support), applied in functional products to support health.
NATURAL ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils are volatile, aromatic compounds that are insoluble in water. Various methods are employed, such as cold pressing, steam distillation, supercritical CO2, solvent extraction, and mold pressing.
Production methods of essential oils by PEROMA Vietnam:
Cold pressing method: Applied to fruits with peels like oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and pomegranates. The oil-containing bags are located outside the surface of the peel, with a cellular structure that is fluid. The raw material is passed through a grinder, then through a hydraulic press, filtered, and the pure essential oil is collected.
Steam distillation method: Applied to materials with lighter oils than water, located deep within the plant tissue. The raw material is ground, the steam distillation process causes water to evaporate, and the oil is condensed along with the steam, followed by separating the water to obtain pure essential oil.
Supercritical CO2 method: Applied to materials with oils lighter and heavier than water. The raw material is ground, extracted in liquid CO2, and then the CO2 is condensed to obtain the oil.
Solvent extraction method: Applied to materials with low oil content. The raw material is ground, soaked and extracted in a solvent, followed by recovering the solvent to obtain the oil.
Due to the high content of bioactive compounds, the essential oils produced by PEROMA Vietnam find applications in food processing and animal feed, including:
Production of natural flavors and spices: Citrus lemon oil (Citral >80%), cinnamon oil (Estragole >90%), coriander oil (Dodecanal >78%), essential oils are key ingredients in the production of natural flavors and spices in the food industry, such as seasoning sauces, confectionery, beverages, and animal feed.
Functional food production: Turmeric oil (Tumerone – digestive support, relief for stomach pain), cinnamon oil (Estragole – respiratory support), supporting health.
With the benefits and values of bioactive compounds, PEROMA Vietnam has researched and optimized the content of bioactive compounds in various extract and essential oil product lines applied in food processing and animal feed. This meets the trends of safety and health, gradually replacing undesired synthetic chemicals. Simultaneously, the company applies high-quality management system such as FSSC22000, ISO 9001:2015, HALAL, KOSHER, meeting the strictest standards in the food processing and animal feed industry, both domestically and internationally.”
