"Green” Krill Oil is Available for the First Time in the US
Traditional krill harvesting and processing methods are detrimental to the environment and eco-system. Now the first "green" krill oil is available in the US using high tech, eco-safe techniques. This press release explains the different methods and their impact on the environment.
Sharon Springs, NY, June 29, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Solutions Unlimited is now offering GOT KRILL Krill Oil, the first eco-safe and environmentally friendly krill oil. New patented technology and high tech methods produce a truly “green” bioavailable source of omega-3 essential fatty acids bound to phospholipids.
The Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) is a small shrimp-like crustacean. Up until now krill were harvested, transported and processed using methods that are environmentally unfriendly. Now, for the first time, new technology and environmentally-friendly methods:
prevent the death of non-krill species (birds, mammals, fish and turtles)
prevent krill decomposition and degradation
save energy by eliminating transportation of unprocessed frozen krill
prevent soil, air and water pollution by avoiding dangerous solvents
eliminate solvent residues in the final product
Traditional Methods
Krill are caught by trawling and dumped on board. This results in by-catch (fish, mammals, turtles and birds are caught along with krill). The enzymes in krill are so active they start digesting the krill as soon as they hit the deck and die. The harvested krill are flash-frozen and shipped thousands of miles away for processing. This results in some degradation and lower quality. Frozen krill arrive thousands of miles from their home and are subjected to a patented process using ethanol (or t-butanol or 2-propanol), acetone (or other ketones) and ethyl acetate to extract the krill oil.
High-tech, Environmentally Friendly Methods
Krill are captured beneath the surface using a siphoning tube and special screens to ensure only krill and ocean water will enter the processing equipment inside the ship. Before the krill have a chance to decompose, they are subjected to special grinding, sonic, temperature and separation techniques. This is carried out under nitrogen to prevent decomposition and oxidation of key components. The extraction process uses water and ethanol as the only solvents. Ethanol (grain alcohol) is a naturally occurring alcohol that is less toxic and more environmentally friendly than other solvents.
GOT KRILL “green” Krill Oil is available now for consumers, health practitioners and retail stores. For more information go to www.GotKrill.com or contact Bill Ziese directly at:
