Nutraceutical & Oleochemical Process Solutions

Artisan provides a variety of engineered nutraceutical and oleochemical process solutions from purifying lubricants to recovering solvents from bioplastics. We employ a wide range of technologies, including thin-film evaporation, distillation, and drying proprietary stripping solutions, to solve and provide this industry with unique applications for identified thermal separation challenges.

We have the experience to provide the Nutraceutical & Oleochemical industry with concentrating, desolventizing, drying, recovering and deodorizing applications that provides our customers a discrete building block or transformation to bridge the gap in the deficiency of their current process or application need.

Applications & Advantages:

• Steam stripping process to strip hexane from vegetable oil containing Lecithin, from 80% to 2 PPM without product degradation.
• Reduce Methyl Ester from crude Coconut oil from 50% to less than 1%.
• Dehydrate crude Vanillin from 20% to less than 50 PPM.
• Remove hexane from Marigold oleoresin from 10% to 25 PPM.
• Strip cholesterol to less than 100 PPM from butter fat and lard.
• Deodorize cocoa butter by steam stripping the low molecular weight free fatty acids to non detectable levels. Deodorization is accomplished at 10 torr, and relatively low temperatures (below 150°C) to prevent intra-esterification while utilizing an economically favorable 3% stripping steam rate.
• Strip cholesterol from butter bat and lard
• Remove solvents from oleoresins.
• Dehydrate crude vanillin.
• Remove methyl ester from crude coconut oil.
• Steam strip hexane from vegetable oil containing lecithin.
