Problem
Current extraction processes for marine and plant materials used in the dietary supplement industry are inefficient and unsustainable, leading to significant loss of key ingredients and increased waste. Traditional methods often involve harsh chemicals, high temperatures, and excessive energy consumption, negatively impacting the purity and quality of the final extracts.
Solution
NE Tech provides a novel tissue dissolution and oil extraction technology designed to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of extracting natural oils and actives from marine and plant sources. Their proprietary process utilizes four core intellectual properties based on solubility parameters, equilibrium principles, and diffusion rates to maximize ingredient yield while minimizing waste. The technology facilitates liquid-liquid extraction, eliminating the need for high temperatures and reducing energy consumption. This results in higher purity extracts with improved taste and smell, suitable for dietary supplements, medicines, and fortified foods. The process also enables the revitalization of previously discarded waste streams, creating new value from underutilized resources.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes manufacturers and suppliers in the dietary supplement, nutraceutical, and functional food industries seeking more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective extraction methods for marine and plant-based ingredients.
