1. Terralia – Green extraction
Context ::
- Social : Increased need in natural extracts (nutraceutical, food, feed, biocontrol, cosmetic…)
- Environmental : Increased concern to valorise bio-waste, optimise energy consumption,
- Legislative : to decrease the used of petrochimical solvents, to find new alternative solvents
Green extraction processes are not widely implemented in factories.
Companies are not aware of scientific results
A lack of scale-up studies on industrial line
A lack of technico-economical data to compare with conventionnal processes
Skills of Terralia network :
Laboratries : Green, SQPOV
Technical Platforms : PEEV (micro-wave, ultrasonics), Extralians (Supercdritical fluids), ERINI (analysis)
Companies : nutraceutical (Naturex, Indena), biocontrol (koppert, Bayer, Valagro), food & ingredients (aromas & colors)

2. Terralia – Green extraction
Objectives
To develop new value chains integrating green extraction technologies
To developp new extracts
To give opportunity for SME to access to new markets,
To promote innovation and competiveness of SMEs using these new technologies
Type of Actions
Supporting research projects on processes, solvents, new extracts
Facilitating industrial faisability projects & large scale project (demonstrating, comparison of process and extract quality)
Supporting industrial implementation of this technology in new businsess
Actions
BtoB meeting
Innovation projects, faisability projects with access to technical plateforms
Make link between green-extracts provider and end-user SME easier for new value chains
