SECTOR

Food & Health

CO2 extraction permits to obtain oily extracts from natural products at low temperatures and without using organic solvents.

Compared to cold pressing, CO₂ extraction is a more effective solution when high yields are needed or when oily raw material is limited. It is widely used to obtain high-value oils for food supplements, flavours and antioxidants from vegetal sources such as seeds, berries, nuts, roots, flowers and leaves.

Our services for your sector

High protein ingredients from press cakes

CO₂ extraction removes the residual fat remaining in press cakes after oil pressing, resulting in lower-fat ingredients with a higher protein concentration. These ingredients can be used in food, feed and plant-based product applications.

Examples include sunflower, pumpkin seed, almond and other nut-based protein flours.

Reduced fat content ingredients

CO₂ extraction reduces fat content while maintaining the original structure of the material. The resulting ingredients can be used in powder, flakes, slices or pieces for healthier snacks, bakery products, sports nutrition and supplements.

Examples include low-fat cocoa and almond protein powder for health and wellness applications.
