The Company’s core technologies used to extract and process bio actives include proprietary Ethanol Fractionation Processes (EFP) and Pressurized Gas eXpanded (PGX) Technology. EFP is mostly used to produce liquid formulations while PGX is used for powder formulations. PGX is a patented, unique and disruptive technology with several key advantages over conventional drying and purification technologies that can be used to process biopolymers into high-value and novel biocomposites. In a single step and using green solvents, it has the ability to generate purified highly porous polymer composites such as aerogels which cannot be made using conventional drying technologies.
 
Given the well-known properties of oat beta glucan and avenanthramides as cholesterol reducer and anti-inflammation respectively, we are actively developing our oat-based pipeline products to address unmet needs within the nutraceuticals markets, with a strategic focus on:
 

●                       Oat Beta Glucan –                    
                Chewable for cholesterol reduction           
-------------------------------------------------------------
●   Avenanthramides –                                        
    nutraceutical-chewable formulation to reduce inflammation
●   Beta glucan from yeast                                   
    (YBG)- nutraceutical-capsule as an immune booster
