Engineering consistency, purity, and performance — at the molecular level.
Overview
EXTRAX® is the phytochemical process engineering platform of YOHOLIFE® LAB, focused on transforming complex plant matrices into stable, high-purity, and application-ready bioactive ingredients.
By redesigning extraction pathways and processing logic, EXTRAX® addresses the core limitations of conventional plant extraction — variability, degradation, and poor reproducibility.
Core Capabilities
Extraction Pathway Design
We design extraction routes based on compound polarity, stability, and interaction within plant matrices — rather than relying on generic solvent-based approaches.
Low-Temperature Phytochemical Processing
EXTRAX® prioritises low-temperature and mild processing conditions to minimise degradation of heat-sensitive and oxidation-prone bioactives.
Yield & Consistency Optimisation
Our processes are engineered to reduce batch variation, stabilise active content, and support repeatable industrial execution.
Key Project
High-Polyphenol Grape Seed Extract Preparation Platform
PolyEX® is the flagship project of the EXTRAX® platform, dedicated to the preparation of high-polyphenol grape seed extracts with improved purity, stability, and batch consistency.
Conventional grape seed extraction often suffers from inconsistent polyphenol profiles, excessive impurities, and quality fluctuation caused by raw material variability and harsh processing.
PolyEX® addresses these issues through a re-engineered extraction and purification pathway, designed to enrich polyphenols while reducing unwanted residues and degradation.
The result is a more consistent, application-ready polyphenol system suitable for functional ingredients, wellness formulations, and further downstream development.
