Natural Citrus Products Corporation (NCPC) was organized in 2007 to implement and commercialize 30 years of research and development of unique technologies associated with the processing of fruits, vegetables and other organic biomass.
The valuable extracts developed by NCPC’s technologies have immediate commercial value in a variety of identified industries. Additionally, the NCPC patented process enhances the environment by reducing and/or eliminating toxic pollutants associated with citrus peel mitigation, making it the only "green" citrus peel process.
NCPC has perfected a method to extract over five valuable food grade components from the discarded citrus “peel” material. Specifically:
citrus peel oil (also known as “cold press“ oil and d’limonene);
CitraFiber™, the remaining product after the oil/sugar extraction with numerous food and beverage applications;
citrus seeds, a great product for spices and cancer research applications.
Until the introduction of NCPC’s new citrus peel recovery technology, no process existed to cost-effectively and efficiently remove the highly valuable residual by-products which remained in the discarded citrus peel.
