The Art of Pure Extraction
Oregon Olfactory Arts creates solvent-free botanical concretes through its proprietary three-phase process featuring natural metabolites. This replaces hazardous solvents—theoretically enabling both true-to-plant aromatics along with expressive aroma compositions via synergistic reactions intended to break emulsions, purify actives, and deliver green and clean concentrates expressing history, time, and place with remarkable depth and tenacity.
Phase 1
Coagulation
Phase 2
Encapsulation
Ionic partitioning selectively seeks to capture volatile heart notes, phenolics, and terpenes—rejecting impurities for ultra-clean cores.
Phase 3
Demixing
Responsive Systems
OOA’s proprietary NADES process leverages original equipment with precise force control and deep material insight, enabling target results. Solid engineering drives this low-temperature, chemical-free three-step method, yielding up to 2-5x more aromatics than conventional approaches (preliminary benchmarks) by respecting each material’s shear limits, temperature sensitivity, phase rates, and volatile thresholds.
Adaptive Engineering
Material boundaries that deviate from extraction goals trigger adjustments, enabling equipment optimization for studio precision or field portability. This builds on prior innovations like rotovap integration and controlled 80°C runs, ensuring volatile retention across botanicals or other subject materials.
Process Edge
OOA’s multi-reaction cascade method—coagulation, emulsification breakdown, and calculated flocculation—historically excels in yielding remarkably crystal-clear, solvent-free absolutes with 95%+ recyclability. Tailored for Oregon’s coastal materials, it supports zero-waste scalability while preserving 12+ hour scent tenacity objectives. Process and formula mods enable experimental and artful customization of results.
