New and Revolutionary Patent for Krill Oil Extraction

(CHILE, 11/23/2009)

Tharos, a Chile-based consultancy firm, primarily associated with high-end marine andseafood projects, has developed a new and revolutionary patent for krill oil extraction.

This completely new and innovative method of extraction will revolutionize the oil market,cutting costs dramatically by reducing the need for shipping and infrastructure expensesand therefore helping to protect the environment.

The chemical-free process relates to a processinglayout for obtaining krill oil with poly-unsaturatedfatty acid DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid) and EPA(EicosaPentaenoic Acid) in the phospholipidsfraction, with astaxanthin, and neutral lipids, usedfor human health applications and a sub-productbeing a low fat content krill meal. This invention also discloses a procedure forobtaining a dried complex that contains krill oil incombination with phospholipids linked to DHA andEPA, proteins and astaxanthin for the use onhuman-health human applications.

"The patenting process has ended and the PCT application has concluded satisfactorily. Wehave been working on this for six years. What makes it different from what's out there isthat it's solvent and chemical-free", Mr Dimitri Sclabos, Tharos' General Manager, toldFIS.com. Most of the market leaders in developingpharmaceutical-grade krill oil, apply methods usingchemicals in the extraction process, which can leaveresidues, and therefore be a risk to work with. Tharos will be the first company to reach the marketwith a high-quality krill oil that is chemical-free. Thecompany plans is to sell or license the patent to apartner.
