WHAT DOES POWDER HOUSE DO?

POWDER HOUSE, operating at the forefront of scientific innovation, specializes in the recovery of secondary metabolites and associated dietary fibers from agroindustrial fruit pomaces, transforming them, via advanced physical-mechanical processes based on materials and particle science, into ultrafine functional ingredients (~P90 = 20 µm) rich in valuable bioactive compounds and dietary fibers. Through a pre-gastric physical-mechanical transformation process based on particle science, POWDER HOUSE modifies both the external and internal morphology of ingredient particles, significantly enhancing their functional properties and optimizing their performance during the gastric phase, optimizing their efficacy for commercial (…)

(…) applications across multiple domains. Secondary metabolites, also known as phytochemicals or bioactive compounds, encompass polyphenols, antioxidants, and other specialized molecules biosynthesized by plants to support self-defense mechanisms, ecological adaptation, and long-term environmental resilience. While these compounds are not directly involved in primary metabolic functions, they consistently exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, neuroprotective, and cardioprotective properties, which makes them essential components for functional food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and nutricosmetic applications. During conventional agroindustrial processing, a significant portion of these secondary metabolites remains  embedded  and entrapped within the fibrous networks, cell walls, and biopolymeric matrices of fruit skins and seeds, thereby hindering their recovery. Grape pomace exemplifies  this  underutilized  potential—after vinification, wine separation, and the pressing stage, the residual seeds and skins retain  most  of  the  secondary metabolites originally  present  in  the  input  grapes, while a smaller  fraction  is transferred into the wine. This  uneven  distribution  highlights   and reveals   the   vast,  untapped commercial  and  scientific   potential of  fruit  pomaces as biomaterials that are   inherently   rich   in   both  therapeutic   and  nutritional  compounds.

POWDER HOUSE recovers these.  high-value  bioactives through  its  Agro-Waste Upcycling Model (patent pending), an  advanced technological framework that integrates multiple interconnected physical-mechanical processes grounded in advanced materials and particle science, thereby enabling the continuous transformation of fruit pomaces into ultrafine, bioactive-rich, value-added functional ingredients. The framework achieves exceptionally high productivity while maintaining low energy consumption, enabling seamless industrial scalability, while maintaining and preserving a sustainable and high-efficiency process design. Leveraging productivity — at least twentyfold greater than that of conventional physical-mechanical concentration processes — and low energy consumption, the Agro-Waste Upcycling Model enables LARGE-SCALE, INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING of fruit pomace. The POWDER HOUSE process ensures consistent operational performance  across  varying  throughput  rates  and input profiles, while allowing virtually unlimited processing volumes, reinforcing POWDER HOUSE’s role as an innovator in bioactive science. By integrating large-scale industrial  production with  sustainability-driven  methodologies, POWDER HOUSE  not  only  eliminates  agroindustrial  waste  and  maximizes  fruit pomace utilization, but also advances bioactive ingredient science,   strategically   positioning  its (…)

(…) ultrafine functional ingredients as next-generation solutions for sustainable health optimization and metabolic wellness. POWDER HOUSE’s Agro-Waste Upcycling Model inherently upholds four core sustainability standards as a direct and inevitable outcome of its advanced process architecture: Residue-Free, Emission-Free, Chemical-Free, Water-Free, and Manipulation-Free. Residue-Free guarantees the complete elimination of waste generation; Chemical-Free guarantees the total absence of chemicals; Water-Free signifies that operation occurs entirely without the use of water; and Manipulation-Free eliminates all forms of direct human contact with biomaterials during processing. This model ensures that all functional ingredients maintain pristine purity, retain optimal efficiency, and preserve consistent performance. Additionally, the model incorporates a size reduction process based on particle science, which delivers pristine, high-potency functional ingredients engineered in particle formats n the low-micron scale. The structural organization  of these  particles can be abstracted as a  three-dimensional fiber  matrix, within  which secondary  metabolites, primarily  polyphenols  and antioxidants, are intrinsically embedded to form a bioactive, functional architecture. At  the  gastric stage, particles’ interaction with the gastric environment, enable the   spontaneous   formation (…)

(…) of protective layers upon ingestion and initial contact with gastric fluids. Protective layers self-microencapsulate each particle (patent pending) and shield the embedded bioactives from premature degradation caused by the harsh gastric environment, ensuring autonomous delivery to the small intestine. Self-microencapsulation further imparts each ingredient particle with autonomous behavior within the gastrointestinal tract, enabling optimized and responsive bioactive release and adaptive absorption according to the digestive conditions prevailing at each stage of the gastrointestinal process. This advanced encapsulation mechanism establishes a new scientific benchmark for bioactive preservation, enabling secondary metabolites to retain their native molecular conformation, full functional activity, and structural stability, while ensuring optimized systemic bioavailability and dynamic, self-regulated absorption within physiological environments. By seamlessly integrating industrial scalability with sustainability-driven methodologies, POWDER HOUSE not only optimizes fruit pomace valorization but also advances the boundaries of bioactive ingredient science, strategically positioning its ultrafine functional ingredients as foundational   components   of    sustainable     health    and    metabolic   wellness    models. Through the synergistic and   deliberate   fusion of (…)

(…)  materials science and particle science with circular economy principles, POWDER HOUSE drives and accelerates the migration of the agroindustry toward a Circular Economy Model, contributing to the establishment of new global benchmarks for high-performance, eco-conscious health and wellness solutions, where scientific innovation, technological excellence, and environmental responsibility converge as pillars of next-generation industrial ecosystems.
