# The transformation of our botanicals into powders for the nutraceutical industry: from sourcing to storage

Natural Origins botanical powders are now processed near Valence (France), at our brand new Ardèche site, which houses our quality laboratories, R&D centre and production facilities. As such, we benefit from the close proximity of local aromatic and medicinal botanicals (from the Drôme and Ardèche regions) while optimising our competitiveness and efficiency.

## **The different transformation phases of botanicals**

 

## 1. Sourcing

 

Right from the [sourcing](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/how-to-source-quality-ingredients-with-natural-origins) stage, Natural Origins takes into account the (in-house or customer) specifications required to find the right conventional or [organic](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/why-chose-natural-origins-for-organic-ingredients-sourcing) raw materials to produce optimised botanical [powders.](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/how-do-you-choose-a-botanical-powder) These powders meet the expectations of nutraceutical professionals, whether in terms of:

- ** taste**
- **colour**
- **texture and/or health claims**

by selecting suppliers who meet the criteria of our purchasing charter.

 

## 2. Analyses

 

The second phase consists of carrying out [physical and chemical analyses](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/how-to-ensure-the-quality-of-organic-ingredients) according to the specifications set out in our technical data sheet. This includes:

- ** testing for the presence of active ingredients, **
- **contaminants, **
- **pesticides, etc. **

or for example, validating food safety.

 

## 3. Process

 

Thirdly, the transformation process involves the:

 

- **Import the batch of the selected botanical **from the cultivation origin of 
- **Quarantine **the batch received on our premises 
- **Take a representative sample** to send to the customer(s) and archive it in our laboratory
- **Disinsectise **if sensitive botanical ingredients are identified
- **Put products in stock** and/or put them through **the transformation process**
- **Sort by gravimetry **if necessary (stems, stones, etc.)
- **Cut, grind and sieve **to standard 300 micron powders and [Optifines](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/optifine-the-botanical-powder-combining-nutrition-and-health) < 100 microns
- **Heat treatment **if deemed necessary
- **Check the granulometry **of the powder obtained in the laboratory and carry out **microbiological analysis**
- **Put the powder in paper bags**/polyethylene food grade (20kg)
- Put processed raw materials **in stock**
- **Store our powders **in specially adapted premises

## 4. Advantages

 

Managing the entire value chain for our organic and conventional botanical powders provides the following benefits:

 

- **Complete traceability**
- **Unique botanical sourcing, **such as [French botanicals (PPAM)](https://www.mynaturalorigins.com/en/blog/our-made-in-france-made-with-care-conception-of-nutraceutical-extract)
- **A high performing production site in the South of France**
- **A carefully reasoned ecological impact: **the manufacturing process for our botanical powders uses very little energy and is carried out without solvents or chemical substances (purely physical treatment).
- **The result is 100% natural, pure and Clean Label powders, rich in phytoactives and nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and fibre. **The botanical integrity of the plant is preserved, as no additives or carriers are added, and the health benefits are based solely on the biological properties of the botanical.
- 300 micron powders for nutraceutical and agro-food applications
