A New Way to Extract Value From Oilseeds

Whole-Seed Utilization

Unlike the conventional methods of oilseed processing, our novel Aqueous Production Process separates and purifies the valuable lipid and protein components without destroying their structure, or functionality.

We avoid high heat, and harsh chemicals to process oilseeds, ensuring that functionality is preserved, rather than simply extracting commodity oil and by-products most commonly used as feed for low-value markets.

The result enables the recovery of high-quality oleosomes and proteins in their natural state. Our approach enables us to produce new products for fast growing and high-value markets. We deliver truly natural ingredients with multi-functionality for use in aquaculture feed, plant-based foods, or personal care products.

Clean & Sustainable Ingredients

Botaneco became a world leader through the way we fundamentally changed how people can care for themselves by what they put on and in their bodies. We recognize that business, people, communities, ecosystems, and economics are all integrated.

We source sustainably grown canola, sunflower, safflower, and hemp seeds, and use production processes that meet clean label and responsible production objectives. Our whole-seed utilization approach produces zero waste.

We know that our customers are also focused on the sustainability of their own operations and brands. As a supplier, it is our goal to drive sustainable improvements throughout the supply chain and to exceed the expectations of our customers’ sustainability programs.

Solutions

Extracted olesomes and proteins have a variety of uses. Working with abundant crops such as canola, hemp, sunflower, and safflower, we are able to extract additional value from parts of the oilseed that aren’t extracted by conventional processing methods.

Aquaculture Feed

Alofin™ and LoPro Canola meal meet increasing demands for new, sustainable sources of aquaculture feed to support one of the most important protein sources in human diets globally.

Plant-Based Food

Our natural high-protein isolates meet the growing demand for plant-based protein sources, while our oleosome technology supports the creation of healthier, clean label and more sustainable plant-based food products.

Personal Care

We bring new innovation to functional naturals, delivering new performance characteristics and a supporting clean label.
