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.
The European Food Safety Authority has issued a positive opinion about the use of methyloxolane in food processing. This paves the way for offering an alternative to petrochemical solvents currently used for the food industry with Minafin Group’s patented, bio-based EcoXtract® solution.
