Naturex and the University of Avignon have created a joint research laboratory for exploring eco-friendly extraction processes. The processes will incorporate sustainability in steps that are critical for extraction: choice of the solvent or technologies, use of byproducts, reduction of unitary operations, and limitation of chemical alteration of botanical extracts.
The new unit will be known as ORTESA (the French acronym for optimization and research on extraction technologies and alternative
