Projects in progress

Essential Oils

Apart from all basic and applied scientific research, a project for extraction of essential oils from different aromatic plants using Novel Technologies is being processed. This includes extraction of edible and non-edible oils employing supercritical extraction system. Refinement of the crude oil to meet international quality standards and producing export quality oil is the main objective of the project.
