Throughout history, the acorn has been an underestimated natural resource, despite its high nutritional value and health benefits, making it a promising alternative to common ingredients in human nutrition.
Landratech is transforming this reality by rediscovering the acorn in an innovative way through a process that allows for its full utilization. Thus, a single ingredient results in multiple products: granules, flour, and roasted acorn powder, all derived from acorn kernel. Even kernels that do not meet quality standards are repurposed for starch and oil extraction. Meanwhile, the shells serve as raw material for infusion production, and those that do not meet the required standards are used for tannin extraction.
The initial stages of the manufacturing process—reception, sanitation, and drying—are common to all production lines, as they are crucial to ensuring the safety of the final products. Only after separating the kernels from the shells does the main production line branch into specific stages to obtain each product.
It is worth highlighting that a single finished product can also serve as an intermediate product for various formulations, broadening its applications and enhancing process efficiency. By combining technology, innovation, and sustainability, the potential of the acorn is being redefined, positioning it as a key ingredient for the future of food.
