SUMMERLAND, BC, Feb. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mazza Innovation Ltd. has been named to the 2015 Ready to Rocket list as a top technology company. Ready to Rocket profiles British Columbia technology companies that are best positioned to capitalize on the technology sector trends that will lead them to faster growth than their peers.
"We are excited to be named to this year's Ready to Rocket list of leading technology companies," said Len Zapalowski, CEO, Mazza Innovation Ltd. "At Mazza, we are answering consumers' growing concern for increased transparency into how their food is made, and the demand for clean labeling."
"We identify companies that have proven their technology and are positioned well for growth. Our analysis of market trends led to our selection of Mazza Innovation as a Ready to Rocket Cleantech company," said Dave Thomas, Senior Partner, Rocket Builders.
In order to meet demand for ingredients for the global nutraceutical ingredients market – which which was valued at 23.8 billion USD in 2013 and is predicted to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.2 per cent to 2018 (Freedonida Group 2013) – Mazza Innovation has developed an advanced method for the extraction of bioactives from plants.
Mazza's patented core technology yields clean plant ingredients with an earth-friendly process, without the need for organic solvents. By pressurizing water at elevated temperatures, the polarity of the water is lowered to the levels of ethanol and methanol. This increases the water's ability to solubilize bioactive compounds and causes it to behave like an organic solvent.
According to Rocketbuilders, their Ready to Rocket lists provide accurate predictions of private companies that will likely experience significant growth, venture capital investment or acquisition by a major player in the coming year.
Mazza Innovation has developed a portfolio of clean ingredients—naturally derived and without organic solvents using the clean process founded by renowned global authority on bioactive extraction and functional foods, Dr. Giuseppe Mazza. Mazza's ingredients open up new opportunities for clean label products in the rapidly growing natural products industry.
