Ebiotec’s
Nutraceuticals
Our nutraceuticals are the product of extensive years of marine
bioprospecting in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Through
the ethical exploitation of our marine environment, to this date
ebiotec has patented more than 10 new products and plans to achieve
10 more patents with the implementation of the ebiosea
project. Our nutraceuticals, from marine origin, preserve
all the original properties of the species with
the application of |
non-denaturing biotechnological manufacturing methods based on industrial
lyophilization. The lyophilization technique or freeze-drying, has extensively
been used by the food industry for many years. Ebiotec has been a pioneer
in the application of lyophizalization for the development of nutraceuticals,
functional foods and non-perishables.

Manufacturing
Process and Quality Management
The raw materials for the marine line are acquired directly from
fishermen, as the species of fish needed must be caught at a specific
time of year. The fishing is carefully regulated as not to disrupt
the fish’s natural life cycle as well as to take advantage
of the season when their natural beneficial properties are at
their peak. All the fish used as raw materials comply with European
Union Fishing Regulations, which require |
all
caught fish to
undergo exhaustive quality controls prior to human consumption. Once
the fish has been acquired, the fish is carefully prepared for processing.
When the fish has been filleted, we carry out quality and microbiology
controls to assure an optimum product. Thereafter
they undergo a non-denaturing biotechnological process, which preserves
all their natural properties without modifying or adding
to their original biological composition. The end
product, a powder, is then carefully encapsulated, blistered,
packaged and ready for sale in specialized outlets.
For the plant line, our raw materials are bought directly from
providers that harvest Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) in
the fields of the Andes, Peru. At our manufacturing plant, Quinoa
is received in grains (seeds), which are processed to obtain a
specific particle size. The end product, a powder, is then carefully
encapsulated, bottled in HDPE, and packaged. |
