BioExx patented technology extracts active ingredients from organic biomass including oils from oil seeds. BioExx uses refrigerant-based solvents that are easily and efficiently recovered at less than 50°C, unlike conventional technologies that require temperatures in excess of 100°C.

Plant seeds contain valuable proteins that can be separated out to form Protein Concentrates (>65% concentrate) and Protein Isolates (>90% concentrate). When proteins are exposed to temperatures above 65°C they begin to denature, substantially reducing their nutritive value and making the separation process difficult. Proteins that are not denatured can be concentrated and have added value ranging from 5 to 40 times the value of animal feeds.

The patented BioExx extraction system is the only known commercial system that allows for low temperatures to be maintained during the extraction of oils and proteins from the biomass. This process gives BioExx a low cost and high quality platform to produce specialty protein products.
