DIFFUSERS

Diffusers are designed for extracting essence from liquids through diffusion

In food processing, diffusers allow the extraction of essential compounds from solid materials. These specialized machines are often used for the production of beverages and pharmaceuticals. This comprehensive guide explores the functions of diffusers, their advantages, and applications across various sectors.

What are diffusers used for?

Diffusers are designed to extract soluble substances, such as aroma compounds, flavors, and bioactive components, from solid materials like herbs, botanicals, and fruits. This extraction, often performed under a vacuum, is achieved through diffusion, where the solid material comes into contact with a solvent. The solvent dissolves the target compounds, creating a solution that can be further processed.

The diffusion process

The diffusion process involves several key steps:

1. Loading: Solid materials are loaded into the diffuser chamber.
2. Solvent Introduction: A solvent, often water or ethanol, is introduced to the chamber.
3. Contact and Diffusion: The solvent comes into contact with the solid materials, allowing the diffusion of target compounds into the solvent.
4. Solution Collection: The resulting solution, rich in extracted compounds, is collected.

Diffuser advantages

• Gentle Extraction: Diffusers operate at lower temperatures, preserving the delicate aroma and flavor compounds of the source material.
• Efficiency: The diffusion process efficiently extracts a wide range of compounds in a single step.
• Versatility: Diffusers can be adapted for various solid materials, offering versatility in extraction.
• High Yield: The extraction process ensures a high yield of valuable compounds.

Applications across industries

Diffusers find applications in diverse sectors:

• Beverage Industry: Diffusers extract flavor and aroma compounds for the production of beverages.
• Pharmaceuticals: Valuable bioactive compounds are extracted from herbs and plants for medicinal purposes.
• Cosmetics: Aromatic compounds are extracted for use in perfumes, cosmetic products and ointments.
• Food Production: Essential oils, flavors, and colors are extracted for use in food products.
