1. Full-Spectrum Nutrient Lock Technology
-40°C Liquid Nitrogen Flash-Freezing prevents fat oxidation
Cellular-Level Micronization (300-mesh) releases intracellular nutrients
Natural tocopherol retention ↑40% (vs. defatted process)
2. Functional Fat Complex
28% phospholipids (PC+PE+PI) → enhances biomembrane integrity
Odd-chain fatty acids (C15:0/C17:0) at 2.1× fish oil levels → modulates inflammation
Self-emulsifying system → accelerates fat-soluble vitamin absorption
3. Application Breakthroughs
Sector | Solution | Validated Performance |
---|---|---|
Premium Pet Food | • 30% poultry meal replacement • Natural palatability base | → +2.1-grade coat score (ICHS standard) |
Functional Foods | • Protein carrier for energy bars • Prebiotic additive | → 32% smoother postprandial glucose curve |
Aqua Starter Feed | Microencapsulation (particle size ≤50μm) | → 25% ↑ shrimp larval metamorphosis rate |

► Nutrient Integrity
Full retention of molting hormones (0.8mg/kg) & antimicrobial peptide Gryllin - heat-sensitive compounds degraded in whole-drying
► Flavor Economics
Natural flavor compounds (pyrazines+aldehydes) at 3.2× defatted flour levels, saving $12.6/ton in pet food palatants
► Green Premium
18% lower carbon footprint vs. defatted process (solvent extraction eliminated), compliant with EU Green Deal
