Harvesting & Transformation
Harvesting and transformation are decisive stages in the development of high-quality natural ingredients.
At PHAEL FLOR EXPORT, these processes are carefully managed to preserve the integrity, purity, and performance of each botanical raw material.
From field selection to final preparation, our objective is to maintain the natural expression of the plant while ensuring consistency and traceability for international markets.
Harvesting at Optimal Maturity
The quality of natural ingredients begins with precise harvesting.
Timing is critical: plants must be collected at the moment when their aromatic and active compounds reach optimal concentration.
Our harvesting practices are based on:
- botanical identification and field monitoring
- respect for seasonal cycles
- selective and controlled collection methods
- careful handling to prevent degradation
By adapting harvesting methods to each plant species and region, we preserve both yield quality and ecological balance.
Post-Harvest Handling
Immediately after harvest, proper handling is essential to maintain product integrity.
Depending on the product category, this may include:
- initial sorting and cleaning
- controlled drying conditions
- protection from contamination
- storage in suitable environments
These measures prevent premature oxidation, moisture imbalance, and quality deterioration before transformation begins.
Transformation Processes
Transformation converts raw botanical material into stable and usable ingredients.
According to the product type, transformation may involve:
- drying and preparation for spices
- distillation for essential oils
- extraction for natural and CO₂ extracts
Each process is adapted to the specific characteristics of the plant to preserve its natural aromatic and chemical profile.
Our approach combines traditional know-how with controlled technical parameters to ensure reproducibility and performance.
Quality Monitoring During Transformations
Quality control continues throughout the transformation stage.
We monitor:
- process parameters
- consistency of output
- conformity with defined specifications
- traceability documentation
This structured oversight ensures that the final product remains aligned with both internal standards and client requirements.
Sustainability in Harvesting & Transformation
Harvesting and transformation are conducted with a focus on long-term sustainability.
We promote:
- responsible harvesting practices
- preservation of biodiversity
- efficient use of natural resources
- reduction of environmental impact during processing
By integrating sustainability into operational stages, we reinforce both environmental responsibility and supply chain resilience.
From Raw Material to Reliable Ingredient
Through disciplined harvesting and carefully controlled transformation processes, PHAEL FLOR EXPORT ensures that each ingredient retains its authenticity while meeting professional and industrial expectations.
Harvesting and transformation are not isolated steps — they are integral components of our integrated supply chain, ensuring quality, consistency, and traceable origin from field to export.
