Thanks to the multiple applications our products offer, we are in several industrial areas, bringing solutions and offering innovations, which could impact in our client's results.

Regarding the human consumption, we produce Lutein, a nutraceutical that is used in dietary and vitamin supplements, infant formulas, etc. We also produce oleoresin from paprika food grade and oleoresin from marigolds food grade, oils which meet all the requirements the human consumption demands as they are taken with the strictest quality controls. These products have multiple nutritional and pharmaceutical applications.

As regards the animal consumption, we also have different choices. For poultry, we offer products which are saponified and processed in liquid or powder, according to our client's convenience. Our pigments, whether they are used combined or alone, enable to obtain the appropriate color for both markets: broilers and eggs (egg-laying).

For the aquaculture area, we count with carotenoid pigments which not only increase pigmentation of different animals, but also have properties that benefit a healthy development and the survival of fishes and crustaceans.

Furthermore, we can ensure full product traceability throughout the productive chain.
