Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
About Greenotech and CAVI Technology:
1. What is CAVI technology and how does it work?
CAVI (Magnetic Impulse Cavitation) is a groundbreaking extraction technology that uses precisely controlled cavitation bubbles generated by magnetic pulses. These bubbles implode near the biomass, creating microscopic shockwaves that disrupt cell walls and release valuable compounds into the solvent. This targeted action results in higher yields, preserves delicate bioactive molecules, and reduces processing time compared to traditional methods.
2. What are the advantages of CAVI technology over traditional extraction methods?
CAVI offers numerous advantages: higher yields, preservation of delicate compounds (terpenes, flavonoids), enhanced bioavailability, reduced solvent and energy consumption, increased safety (low-pressure operation), scalability for various production sizes, and overall cost-effectiveness. It’s a cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally friendly approach.
3. What types of biomass can be processed with CAVI technology?
CAVI technology is versatile and can process various biomass sources, including krill meal, cannabis, and a wide range of medicinal plants. Its adaptability makes it suitable for diverse natural product applications.
4. Is CAVI technology environmentally friendly?
Yes, CAVI technology significantly reduces environmental impact by minimizing solvent usage, energy consumption, and waste generation. Its compatibility with organic, biodegradable solvents like ethanol further enhances its sustainability.
5. What is the difference between full-spectrum and isolate extraction?
Full-spectrum extraction captures the complete profile of beneficial compounds in the plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc., maximizing the “entourage effect.” Isolate extraction focuses on isolating a single compound, like CBD. Greenotech prioritizes full-spectrum extraction for its broader therapeutic potential.
Krill Oil:
6. What are the benefits of krill oil?
Krill oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), phospholipids, and astaxanthin. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, joint health, eye health, and skin health. The phospholipids in krill oil also enhance the absorption of omega-3s.
7. Where does Greenotech source its krill?
We source our krill from sustainably managed fisheries in pristine Antarctic waters, prioritizing the long-term health of krill populations and the preservation of the Antarctic ecosystem.
8. How is Greenotech’s krill oil extracted?
Our krill oil is extracted using our proprietary CAVI technology, which ensures maximum purity, potency, and preservation of valuable nutrients. We use only food-grade organic solvents, primarily ethanol, in our extraction process.
9. Is Greenotech’s krill oil FDA-approved?
Yes, our krill oil is FDA-approved, meeting stringent quality and safety standards.
10. What is the difference between krill oil and fish oil?
While both are sources of omega-3s, krill oil contains phospholipids that enhance absorption. Krill oil also contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant. Furthermore, krill are lower on the food chain, minimizing the risk of heavy metal contamination.
Cannabis Extraction:
11. What type of cannabis extraction does Greenotech offer?
We specialize in full-spectrum ethanol extraction, utilizing CAVI technology to maximize yield and preserve the full range of cannabinoids and terpenes.
12. Why is ethanol extraction preferred for cannabis?
Ethanol is a safe, effective, and versatile solvent that captures the full spectrum of cannabis compounds, including both polar and non-polar molecules. It’s also readily biodegradable, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
13. What are the benefits of full-spectrum cannabis extracts?
Full-spectrum extracts retain the complete profile of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds, maximizing the “entourage effect” and potentially offering a wider range of therapeutic benefits.
Botanical Extracts:
14. What types of botanical extracts does Greenotech produce?
We produce a variety of botanical extracts, including herbal extracts and essential oils, tailored to specific customer needs and applications.
15. Can Greenotech develop custom botanical extracts?
Yes, we specialize in developing custom botanical extracts based on your specific requirements. We can work with various plant materials and target specific compounds for extraction.
Consulting & Services, and General:
16. What consulting services does Greenotech offer?
We offer a range of consulting services, including regulatory compliance, product development, extraction process optimization, marketing and branding strategy, and facility design support.
17. What is Greenotech’s commitment to sustainability?
Sustainability is a core value at Greenotech. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact through the use of organic solvents, energy-efficient processes, and responsible waste management. We also prioritize sustainable sourcing of raw materials.
18. How can I partner with Greenotech?
Contact us through our website or by phone to discuss your specific needs and explore partnership opportunities. We offer flexible partnership options for wholesale, white label, custom extraction, and consulting services.
19. Where is Greenotech located?
Greenotech is based in Canada.
20. What are Greenotech’s quality control measures?
We adhere to strict quality control measures throughout our entire process, from raw material sourcing to final product testing, ensuring the highest quality, purity, and consistency of our extracts. We utilize third-party testing to verify the quality and composition of our products.
