Manufacturing & Ingredient Processing
Contract Manufacturing & Ingredient Processing
Turn high-volume fruit and agricultural co-streams into stable, functional ingredients.
Extracta partners with growers, processors, manufacturers and food brands to transform pomace, peel, marc, bagasse and other surplus streams into supply-ready ingredients that perform in real formulations.
Commercial processing at a glance
- Location: Murwillumbah, NSW
- Standards: HACCP-accredited, food-safe and traceable
- Capabilities: Low-temperature drying, milling, blending and bulk packaging
- Minimum milling run: 1 tonne of dry material
- Best suited to: Consistent, high-volume streams and ongoing supply
How it works
- Consultation and volume assessment. Tell us about the material, moisture content and target volumes. We assess its suitability and recommend the right processing pathway.
- Drying and milling. Material is processed through our industrial low-temperature drying and milling equipment in Murwillumbah, engineered for large, consistent production runs.
- Finished format and packaging. Choose from bulk returns, fine whole-food powders or custom blends, packaged to your specification.
- Quality check and handover. We complete final checks and packing before dispatch or collection. Timing is confirmed during consultation based on the material and batch size.
Your co-stream isn't waste. It's an under-used ingredient.
Fruit-processing lines, canneries and mills produce material that never makes it to a shelf. Left as-is, that material is perishable, heavy to freight and often costly to manage. Extracta evaluates and stabilises suitable streams, then engineers them into functional fibre ingredients your formulation team can use.
Extend shelf life and reach
Drying and stabilisation can turn a product with a shelf life measured in days into an ambient, freight-friendly ingredient with a shelf life of up to two years. That opens pathways that cold-chain cost and perishability may previously have made impractical.
Go beyond drying
A shelf-stable powder is only the beginning. We screen each suitable material for the role it needs to play, whether that is texture, fibre enrichment, gut-health positioning or another substantiated functional benefit.
Create commercial value
The goal is a consistent, supply-ready ingredient and a potential revenue line where there was previously a disposal cost or low-value outlet.
What we offer
- Custom drying and milling: Controlled, food-safe processing designed to preserve nutritional integrity, colour and functionality across suitable fruit and agricultural streams. We do not freeze-dry.
- Commercial capacity: Drying minimums depend on the moisture and characteristics of the fresh material. Milling starts from 1 tonne of dry material, with capacity for ongoing production contracts.
- Packaging and further processing: Bulk return packaging, fine whole-food powders and blending for custom ingredient formats.
- Quality and standards: HACCP-accredited processing with traceability from intake through to finished ingredient.
Who we work with
- Growers and processors with consistent, high-volume surplus streams
- Food and beverage brands seeking whole-food fibre ingredients at scale
- Businesses seeking a circular value-recovery pathway for agricultural co-streams
- Ingredient manufacturers looking for a reliable, accredited processing partner
Built for commercial volumes
Our equipment is designed for scale. High-moisture materials require larger fresh volumes to meet minimums after drying. If your project is below our processing threshold, contact us anyway and we can help clarify the best next step.
