In Australia, Extracta estimates that 7.3 million tons of food is wasted annually, costing the economy around AUD$36.6 billion (US$23.49 billion) annually.<\/p>\n<p>To find new raw materials to transform, Extracta takes a sample of agricultural waste and some from initial processing, such as orange peel from the juice industry. Extracta received a government grant for just under AUD$2 million (around US$1.3 million). The company uses this to develop processes and technology to take nutrients from food waste and produce new ingredients while at the same time making it cost-effective.<\/p>\n<p>Extracta\u2019s products retain and capture available vitamins and nutrients and are naturally high in polyphenols, antioxidants, minerals and essential amino acids. By accepting the grant from the Australian government, Extracta committed to utilize 100% of the materials it sources. As Australia is a small commercial market, Lewis notes the company will start exporting its pectin to the US. Lewis shares that Extracta\u2019s ingredients are tested for gut and microbiome health at universities and the company\u2019s labs. Final products are tested in clinical trials in a major hospital in Australia, as well as in a hospital near Chicago, US. The company will also start a trial at Manchester University.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foodingredientsfirst.com\/news\/upcycling-opportunities-extracta-transforms-fruit-waste-into-nutrient-dense-ingredients.html\">Food Ingredients<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-390\/\">Upcycling opportunities: Extracta transforms fruit waste into nutrient-dense ingredients<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,9823,11269],"class_list":["post-116441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-fruit-waste","tag-upcycling"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116441\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
