A clean process
Zooca® products are made from a short process with no chemicals, The only input factors besides energy, is fresh water and a minimal addition of enzymes. This solvent free, no additives processing ensures gentle extraction of both lipids and proteins (hydrolysate). The production is free of hazardous processing aids and no further refining, concentration or processing is done. This ensures natural and pure products.
Advanced control systems keep the energy-consumption at a minimum. Most of the energy used is for heating the process. An electric hot water boiler ensures environmentally friendly heating, and effective “state of the art” heat exchangers are used throughout the whole process. This renewable energy is enough to run the process.
