Europe Approves Methyloxolane, a Substitute Solvent to Toxic Hexane
The use of Methyloxolane, a plant-based solvent, has been authorized in Europe for the production of food ingredients as a substitute for hexane, which is derived from petroleum.
The Minafin Group’s EcoXtract® brand supplies Methyloxolane solvent for the extraction of oils, vegetable proteins, and natural ingredients. It is produced from agricultural co-products such as sugarcane bagasse and does not compete with food production.
