Verifolia

• Our goal is to deliver fresh flavor, aromas, nutrition, and bioactives to enable “better for us” products.
• Uses conductance drying (aka refractance window drying) to make water dispersible stable dried emulsions called “flakes”.
• Stable dried emulsion “flakes” are important across the nutraceutical/wellness, flavor/food industry, biopharma and personal care industries.
• “Less is more”, lower dosages are cost effective and perceived.  Why?  The flakes are emulsions and therefore have rapid uptake and increased bioavailability in the human body.
• Whole Capture extraction technology (extraction of fresh botanicals) paired with conductance drying results in efficacious botanical flakes.
• Dryer hardware refinements: increased efficiencies, reduced environmental footprint with ability to co-locate near raw materials.
• Healdsburg facility is California Department of Public Health, organic (CCOF), and Kosher certified, as well as FDA registered.

What are flakes? They are what we get when we dry flavor and botanical emulsions. There are two essential elements in making flakes: one is our patented process for making the what we dry. The second is our use of Refractance Window Dryers, or as we prefer to call them conductance dryers.

• Flakes are water dispersible
• Flakes rehydrate to a stable emulsion in water and in the body
• Increased bioavailability (2-3x) and rapid uptake
• Flakes can be ground to various mesh sizes
• Flakes create flowable powders (important for dry blends for stick packeting, mouth dissolving tablets, capsules, seasoning blends, dry fragrances, etc.)

Flakes can deliver function, flavor, color, or all three! We make flavor flakes as well as flakes for botanical medicine and wellness. The image below is of our under-development Reishi Mushroom flake.
