Phytonext ~ Extraction Technology

NIJMEGEN, NetherlandsPhytonext launched its new extraction technology to achieve natural extracts economically while retaining the activity of phytonutrients.

Phytonexts technology keeps costs down because it extracts specific phytonutrients from raw materials in one step. For example, when extracting lycopene from tomatoes, purity and quality are maintained due to the mild process conditions and the absence of solvents.

With respect to the circular economy, more and more companies are looking to add value to waste stream," said Jordi Jongbloed, business development manager of Phytonext. "Phytonexts extraction technology is a good method for new players in the market that want to take concrete steps toward a circular economy."

The next step for Phytonext involves moving from a pilot scale to full industrial set-up. To achieve this, Phytonext is looking for partners.
