Avocado Byproduct
Oleic9 by Ocean Amenities presents an innovative proposal that can transform the way we perceive waste generated in the food industry, particularly in the extraction of avocado oil and puree. In the current context, where sustainability and the circular economy are increasingly valued, we are pleased to inform you about our initiative to add value to these waste products by establishing strategic synergies between the food industry and the animal leather tanning sector. Through research, we have identified a variety of valuable compounds present in the waste from avocados. Among these are fibers, waxes, polyphenols, and fatty acids, such as oleic, palmitic, linoleic, elaidic, and stearic acids. These components not only possess nutritional properties but also serve as plant-based tanning agents, as is the case with the tannins found in the pits. By harnessing materials that are traditionally considered waste, we can not only reduce environmental impact but also enhance the profitability and sustainability of our respective industries.
