Three: Concentration. The extract is fed into the distillation unit and ethanol** is heated indirectly. As the ethanol evaporates, the concentration of the extract increases and the color becomes darker. In the later stage of distillation, the heating temperature should be controlled to prevent coking.

The resulting concentrate is a thick, dark red liquid when cooled to room temperature. ** of ethanol is available for leaching.

Four: purification. In order to remove the impurities in the concentrate and remove the colloidal resin, it is necessary to further extract with a solvent, and then evaporate the purified solution under the conditions described above to obtain a pure extract, capsanisin.
