GRAPEMAX™ - Extract from Grapes

3. High Quality and Competitive

extracts

1. First worldwide producer of

grape seeds for extracts With an access of more than 7 000T of high quality and selected grape seeds through

it mother Company Cristal Union, the decision to actively promote very competitive and high quality Grape Seeds Extracts obviously occurs, and fits the strategy to con-firm our leadership.

Cristal Union is the 1st worldwide producer of Grape-seeds for extraction of poly-phenols and actives, 1st European producer of Bioethanol, 2nd European sugar Cie – and is highly specialized on high technologies.

2. A new, innovative and dedicated

plant in France The completion of our recent investments in terms of extra capacity of extrac-

tion, extra chromatography columns, drying, clean rooms, etc…. gives Burgundy a innovative facility, totally automated and computerized, for the highest traceability (from the fields to your product) and the best performances. In the respect of the

strictest European or US norms for all steps from collect to packing (and of most-ly all countries), in addition to the ISO 22 000 standards and in GMPc plant.

The improved process and the selective access and control of the seeds lead

Burgundy to offer the most complete range, from the typical 95% Polyphenols by folin to up to 50% monomeric and dimeric fractions, only with food solvents. Choose one of our most famous ‘Key Products’ beside the range of 50 different

extracts, such as the Grapemax™ Extra Pure, a pure water extract, soluble, brin-ging min. 95% Polyphenols (Folin Ciocalteu), a minimum of 8% OPC (monomeric + dimeric OPC) and a high ORAC Value, or our 50% OPC (mono+dimeric).

On a general base, the raw materials come from areas under

the full control of our shareholder Cristal Union, through its subsidiaries Bourgogne Alcool and Distillery Goyard (in Cham-pagne).

The quality of the raw materials is strictly defined in a strict specification, fixing all the physical and chemical parameters needed for the assurance of organoleptic and physico-chemical

compliance, as well as microbiological data. Nevertheless, the collected materials transcribe the soil and area from which they come. This allows Burgundy Botanical

Extracts to highly select the in-coming materials to guarantee a constant quality on our extracts in terms of :

chemical composition : grape seeds from Champagne for instance brings more monomeric OPC when grape seeds

from Burgundy area provides a higher content in dimeric OPC.

organoleptic : raw materials collected in Burgundy area

provide rounder and more mature feeling, with notes of nuts, while the grape seeds from Champagne brings greener and tangy notes

and that, in identical processes. Collect & Separat ion

The collect and transport are organized so that it does not flow over 24 hours between harvest and complete processing of the marc in our dedicated facility in Burgundy. The seeds are separated from the skins and stems before any other process.

Crush & De-stem After the grapes arrive at the winery, they are mechanically

crushed and de-stemmed. This releases some free run juice, and separates the fruit from the stems, which can impart bitter tannins to the juice. Some wineries forgot the crush & destem

step and send the grapes immediately to tank presses, which squeeze the juice from the skins and minimize the extraction from skins and seeds. In general, the fine wine objective is to

maintain the integrity of the free run juice, minimizing the ex-traction of bitter phenolic compounds from the skins, stems and seeds.

Drying and storage

Seeds are then immediately dried under a gentle temperature (low temperature dryers), to preserve the integrity of polyphe-nolic compounds of non-fermented seeds. A residual moisture

below 7% ensures stability against oxidation and enzymatic degradation of polyphenolic actives.

To end extracts Formulating from crude or purified extracts, and even separat-ed fractions, all combinations are possible based on Polyphe-

nols (Folin or UV 280µm), Monomeric OPC, dimeric OPC, resveratrol, etc… such as our key products: Grapemax™ Extra Pure min. 95% Polyphenols (Folin Ciocalteu) min. 8% OPC (monomeric + dimeric by HPLC)

high ORAC Value

Grapemax™ DE min. 40% OPC (up to 55%)

min. 20% monomeric OPC (HPLC)

Grapemax™ Color 3 to 36 Unit Color, up to 15% anthocyanins

Grapemax™ Resveratrol - 100% from Grapes Grapemax™ BGXP (extract from marc)

min. 0.5% Anthocyanins, 16% OPC, 80% polyphenols

Products are processed under the strictest standards in

our GMP certified facility, with complete traceability from

the fields to the end-products.
