American Extracts is proud to have natural and organic products to benefit our health and environment. We have products for many uses. For controlling odor in waste water management and animal feed. And for improving soil and the health of plants and trees in agricultural applications.
Yucca plants used to manufacture saponin products are obtained from native sources in Mexico and the United States. Only mature specimens are harvested, leaving more than half of the total plants to grow to maturity for future harvest. When the mature plants are harvested, more rain water becomes available for the young plants, accelerating their growth. Grazing grasses also grow better after harvesting the mature yuccas, improving the land for grazing purposes. All yucca harvesting is regulated by the government assuring an ample supply of plants for the future.
American Extracts is dedicated to making sure this natural resource is used wisely. The plants are trucked in, mashed and cold-pressed to extract the cellular liquid concentrate from the fiber. The liquid concentrates are then processed at low temperatures guaranteeing all the ingredients of the yucca to be active and intact just as they were created in the yucca cells. The remaining fiber is dried and milled to a fine powder utilizing all of the plant harvested.
