Our history

Get to know us

By converting phospholipids into extra Diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, this product generates more oil. This process also reduces emulsification strength, which releases neutral oil from gums. The result an increase of between 1% and 2% in oil yields. The amount of extra oil generated depends on the P content of your crude oil.

Higher oil yields

By generating more oil and lower gum levels, this product brings extra revenue and boosts your profitability.

Higher profitability

By allowing you to capture more oil, this product reduces protein dilution. The result is that you can consistently meet your meal&#039;s minimum protein level requirements and cut your drying needs.

Higher protein content in meal

By generating more oil, this product allows you to get more with lower raw material and process inputs. That can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions from your process by up to 2%.

Improved sustainability

This product breaks down phospholipids. The result is lower viscosity in gums. That makes your separation process easier and reduces your neutral oil losses.

Easier gum separation

Request sample

With Quara® Boost you can reduce phospholipid content and access more oil than you thought possible. It allows you to achieve up to 2% extra oil yield and reduce low-value by-product levels by up to 40% .  

Also available in 27.5 L pack size.

Benefits

Phospholipids create a range of challenges for your refining process. They compromise the quality of your oil and cause oil waste in production. Quara® Boost consists of two phospholipase C molecules that hydrolyze around 75% of the phospholipids PC, PE and PI.  Quara® Boost can also deliver 2% more oil compared to traditional water degumming. It does this by converting phospholipids into Diacylglycerol (DAG) oil and releasing more neutral oils from gums.

Details

This product contains enzymes. While enzymes are safe to use in consumer applications, they need correct handling in working environments to ensure workers’ safety.

Indeed, repeated inhalation of enzyme dust or aerosols resulting from improper handling may induce sensitization and may cause allergic type 1 reactions in sensitized individuals.

Please follow the precautionary handling recommendations below:

Product features, details and benefits

Liquid

This product delivers sustainability on two fronts. It enables greener formulations with lower chemical levels. It also allows consumers to keep their clothes for longer. That’s a win for environmentally-conscious consumers, and a win for your brands’ sustainability profile.
