Production of Pectin, Tannin, and Dietary Fibers

The production of pectin and functional food ingredients is one of ISCO GROUP’s core areas of expertise. We have developed proprietary technologies that enable the efficient processing of a wide range of plant-based raw materials, ensuring the highest product quality — including medical-grade pectin.

British Sugar plc (United Kingdom)

A consulting project and detailed engineering of secondary processing lines for sugar production by-products, specifically wet beet pulp. As a result of the implemented solutions, premium dietary fibers with outstanding functional characteristics were obtained:
Fat-binding capacity: 1:20:30 (fiber:fat:water)
Water-holding capacity: ≥ 28 g/g
Collaboration with British Sugar plc, one of the UK’s leading sugar producers, underscores the high level of ISCO GROUP’s technological and engineering expertise.

AZNAR (Azerbaijan)

An innovative project for processing pomegranate peels to produce pectin, tannin, and dietary fibers. A unique technology for the complete utilization of pomegranate processing by-products has been developed, ensuring exceptionally high economic efficiency of the facility.

Technological Advantages of ISCO GROUP

The success of ISCO GROUP is built on the application of advanced technological solutions that provide our clients with strong competitive advantages. We continuously invest in research and development, enhancing production processes and creating innovative methods for processing plant-based raw materials.

Cavitation Extraction

A unique extraction technology that operates without the use of aggressive acids or alcohols. This innovative method is based on the cavitation effect, enabling gentle and efficient extraction of target components from plant-based raw materials while preserving their biological activity and nutritional value. The process is environmentally safe and significantly reduces the ecological footprint.

Processing of Secondary Raw Materials

Our technologies enable the efficient processing of food industry by-products — pomace, peels, and press residues. This not only reduces production waste but also creates additional revenue streams by turning materials that were previously disposed of into valuable, in-demand ingredients.

High-Purity Processing

Our multi-stage purification systems deliver product purity levels of up to 99.8%, fully meeting the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. This enables the production of not only food-grade, but also medical-grade pectin and inulin of exceptional quality — essential for manufacturing pharmaceuticals and high-value nutraceuticals.

Cost Optimization

Comprehensive production automation and optimized technological workflows significantly reduce the cost of finished products. High extraction efficiency and low energy consumption ensure rapid return on investment and long-term operational profitability.

Medical-Grade Pectin and Inulin

ISCO GROUP is one of the few developers of technologies for producing medical-grade pectin and inulin.
Our facilities are certified according to GMP standards and are capable of supplying raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry. This opens access to high-margin market segments and provides additional competitive advantages.

Elimination of Human Factor Influence

Full automation of critical production processes minimizes the influence of human factors on product quality. Modern control systems maintain stable parameters at every stage of manufacturing, ensuring consistent and reliable product quality.
