What is CO2 extraction, and how does it differ from Sureka Life Sciences' distilled and solvent-extracted products?
CO2 extraction (supercritical CO2 extraction) uses pressurized carbon dioxide as a solvent-free extraction medium, distinct from steam distillation, hexane-based solvent extraction, and cold-pressing used elsewhere in the catalog. Each product page lists a botanical source, a named marker-compound grade, and a CAS number.
Does Sureka Life Sciences supply any CO2-extracted oil from the same plant as an existing product?
Yes — 11 of the 13 CO2 oils in this category (Black Pepper Oil, Cardamom Oil, Chilli Seed Oil, Cinnamon Bark Oil, Clove Bud Oil, Coffee Oil, Coriander Seed Oil, Cumin Oil, Fenugreek Oil, Ginger Oil, Kalonji Oil, and Turmeric Oil) are extracted from the same botanical species as an existing Sureka Life Sciences product in another category. Each is documented and supplied as a distinct commercial form, separate from the distilled oil, solvent extract, oleoresin, or cold-pressed carrier oil listed elsewhere in the catalog. Four of these — Cardamom Oil, Ginger Oil, Kalonji Oil, and Turmeric Oil — additionally carry "(CO2 Extracted)" in their product name to distinguish them from an identically-named existing Sureka Life Sciences product.
How is each CO2-extracted oil specified?
Each product page lists the botanical source, a named marker-compound grade, and a CAS number, so buyers can confirm it matches their formulation requirement before enquiring.
