UVET Food and Medicinal Powders

Food and Medicinal Powders from Plant and Animal Agricultural Feedstock

• Production of food and medicinal powders from secondary agricultural feedstock (using orange waste as an example) Main problem: Processing oranges into juice generates solid waste (peel, pulp) that is not used efficiently, creating economic and environmental costs. Proposed solution: Processing this waste into valuable powders for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Key uses for the powders:

1. Food industry:

• As a source of dietary fiber and vitamins.
• As a natural flavoring, colorant, or filler.

2. Therapeutic and preventive use:

• Production of dietary supplements and pharmaceutical preparations.
• Use of bioactive compounds (such as flavonoids) to support health. Advantages of the approach:
• Economic: Creating additional profit from waste and lowering disposal costs.
• Environmental: Reducing the volume of waste and the burden on the environment.
• Resource-related: Rational, zero-waste use of agricultural feedstock. The technology for processing secondary feedstock into powders is a promising direction for creating high-margin, value-added products in line with sustainable development principles. UVET technology: innovative processing of feedstock into premium powders:

UVET technology makes it possible to produce a fundamentally new product that cannot be matched by existing global equivalents, as confirmed by biochemical studies. 2. UVET-005 units efficiently and with high quality process a wide range of feedstock - plant, animal, natural, and mineral - into “PREMIUM”-grade powders. 3. The range includes 260 types of powder , meeting Ukraine’s technical specifications:

• 245 types of finely dispersed powders from vegetables, fruits, berries, mushrooms, greens, flowers, and roots.
• 8 types of powder from cooked meat.
• 6 types of powder from grain crops for baby and dietary food.
• 2 types of powder from cocoa products.

The technology solves the problem of disposing of expired products : the units process such waste into useful powders. 5. The resulting powders are used for producing pet food, feed for livestock, poultry, and fish farming, organic fertilizers, and other purposes. 6. This helps reduce the volume of waste sent to landfills and lowers pollution. 7. UVET powders match freeze-dried equivalents in quality while retaining a rich composition. 8. They contain vitamins, antioxidants, and minerals that are not synthesized in the human body and must come from food. 9. Regular consumption of such powders helps prevent premature aging. 10. The technology also helps increase life expectancy by enriching the diet.

Fruit and berry powders: Fruits and berries are a valuable source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Fruit and berry powders are a modern, practical alternative to fresh produce. Their key advantages include: 1. High nutrient concentration: produced using gentle drying, which preserves most of the vitamins and bioactive compounds. 2. Long shelf life: compared with fresh produce, the powders keep their properties for a long time and need no special conditions. 3. Versatility: easily added to smoothies, yogurts, baked goods, porridge, and drinks, enriching their flavor and nutritional value. 4. Ease of use and dosing: eliminate the need for washing, peeling, and processing, saving time. In this way, these powders are an effective way to regularly get beneficial elements, making healthy eating more accessible and simple.

Vegetable powders: Vegetable powders are a concentrated source of nutrients designed to conveniently enrich the diet. Their key features:

1. Production: made from fresh vegetables through special processing (drying and grinding), which preserves vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
2. Advantages:

• Increase the share of vegetables in the daily diet even when fresh ones are scarce;
• Have a long shelf life and are easy to use.

3. Application: easily added to smoothies, soups, sauces, baked goods, and other dishes without changing their texture.
