Plant based ingredients specialist Naturex Group and Mazza Innovation, which provides solvent-free botanical extracts, have signed an agreement for use of Mazzas patented pressurised low polarity water (PLPW) technology to extract phytochemicals from cranberries.

As part of the Agreement, Mazza will use its PhytoClean extraction process to produce cranberry extracts exclusively for Naturex in its newly opened facility in British Columbia.

The PhytoClean Method is an earth friendly way to extract bioactives from plants using only water and produces clean, non solvent derived ingredients. The green technology efficiently extracts bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, alkaloids, glycosides and speciality carbohydrates that can be used as ingredients for functional foods, dietary supplements and beauty products.
