Nova Vitae Blackcurrant Seed OilBlackcurrant seed oil, also known as blackcurrant oil, is extracted from the seeds of the blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum).
It is an oil rich in nutrients and offers health benefits.
Blackcurrant seed oil, also known as Parent Essential Oils (PEOs), includes the unmodified, natural, and fully functional omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. These valuable substances are found in various seeds.
The preservation of oxygen during the production process is essential.
PEOs are particularly susceptible to oxidation, making processing without adverse effects of great importance.
Therefore, the supercritical CO2 method is the most optimal and environmentally friendly choice. This method allows oils to be extracted at low temperatures, preserving the original unsaturated fatty acids, and then they are stored under nitrogen to prevent oxidation. This way, the valuable properties of blackcurrant seed oil are fully preserved.
A pure and clean Blackcurrant Seed Oil extraction consists of the following steps:
Harvesting blackcurrants: The first step is harvesting blackcurrants, which must be ripe before harvesting. The seeds are located within the berries and form the part used to extract the oil.
Separating seeds: After harvesting, the seeds are separated from the rest of the berries. This is usually done using machines that mechanically remove the seeds.
Cleaning: The extracted seeds are then cleaned to remove any remaining pulp and flesh.
Drying: The clean seeds are dried to remove excess moisture before processing.
Cold pressing: The dried seeds are then subjected to cold pressing. This process involves pressing the seeds with a hydraulic press or a mechanical press at low temperatures, usually below 40 degrees Celsius. The low-temperature range helps to preserve the quality of the oil, as high temperatures can damage the valuable nutrients in the oil.
Filtering: After pressing, the oil is filtered to remove any impurities and solid particles.
The resulting product is a high-quality, natural oil rich in nutrients such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and other antioxidants. Maintaining low temperatures and choosing cold pressing are crucial steps to ensure the quality and potency of blackcurrant seed oil.
