TECHNOLOGY

RE-NUT® Process

Wet-milling in-shell nuts and separating the slurry into three valuable extracts: nut solids, nut drink and (optionally) nut oil. The patented method covers all major tree and ground nuts.

RE-NUT® process

In-shell nuts

Water

Wet-milling of in-shell nuts to achieve the targeted particle size.

Phase separation of the slurry via decanter.

RE-NUT® OIL

15-35% fat
15-25% m/m

The nut solids contain most of the dissolved nutshell components and is thus rich in valuable dietary fiber and antioxidants. The still moist solids can be used in ice cream or cream cheese, while the dried nut flour can be suitably used in a variety of products such as baked goods, chocolate and spreads, beverages and burger patties.
2-8% fat
70-80% m/m

The nut milk contains more vitamins B3 and E, polyphenols and antioxidants compared to a kernel-based drink. The fat content can be adjusted, and the containing 5–8 g/l sweet-tasting saccharides make it a great drinking pleasure.
By using a 3-phase decanter, the valuable fat of the nuts can be extracted separately, in addition to the nut solids and the nut milk.
