Growth Pattern
Katra Phytochem started out in the year 1996 as Agro Biochem Pvt. Ltd. engaged in the farming and cultivation of marigold flowers through non GMO seeds. Marigold farming has contributed to the growth of our association with the farmers from 50 to a family which is 5000. An Oleoresin plant constructed at close vicinity ensured immediate processing of collected marigold flowers to Oleoresin, preserving the Lutein content. The output food grade oleoresin was exported to some of the leaders of the industry for further conversion.
The urge to improve saw us working on the processes to constantly improve the purity of oleoresin and eventually set up a plant to convert oleoresin to Lutein and Lutein esters. Today Katra Phytochem has a unique patented process for the manufacture of Lutein, Lutein esters, Zeaxanthin and its several formulations.
