Applications
-
Sugar Beets
ekoFEND is specifically designed to enhance sugar beet processing. By stabilizing juice color, improving clarity, and reducing sugar loss, it helps producers achieve consistently high quality sucrose while ensuring process efficiency.
-
Caramel Color
ekoFEND is FDA approved for caramel color production. It serves as a reliable processing aid, helping manufacturers control quality, maintain consistent coloration, and operate confidently within regulatory standards.
-
Wet Corn Milling
In wet corn milling, ekoFEND contributes to improved juice purification and product stability. Its integration into existing workflows helps maximize yield while supporting consistent product quality.
Why Choose ekoFEND?
-
Color Control
ekoFEND acts as a bleach aid, preventing the formation of dark compounds. By stabilizing juice color, it helps maintain a consistently light, high-quality final product.
Quality
ekoFEND helps remove impurities that affect taste, texture, and purity, used alongside clarifying agents like lime and carbonation, it refines juices to meet stringent food industry demands.
Increased Yield Efficiency
By incorporating ekoFEND, you may enhance extraction and reduce losses during purification, improving efficiency and profitability.
Safety
Unlike sulfur dioxide (SO2) which can pose risks due to volatility, ekoFEND offers a safer alternative with reduced handling hazards.
FDA-Approved
ekoFEND solution is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in caramel color and sugar beet production, allowing you to operate confidently within regulatory frameworks.

Environmental Responsibility
When comparing processing aids, safety and emissions matter. Traditional sulfur dioxide (SO2) can pose risks due to volatility and worker exposure concerns. Our ekoFEND solution provides a safer, easier to handle alternative to direct SO2 injection. While Sodium Bisulfite (SBS) is often considered to have lower air emissions, ekoFEND offers unique process advantages in sugar beet and caramel color production. By choosing ekoFEND, you can improve handling safety while still aligning with sustainability goals valued by regulators and consumers.
Kosher and Halal Compliance and Certifications
Moleko has three plants (East Dubuque, IL; Wynnewood, OK; and Billings, MT) certified as Kosher for Passover (OKP), and two plants (East Dubuque, IL; Wynnewood, OK) with additional Halal certification in line with food industry standards.
Compatibility
In sugar beet processing, processing methods vary – from traditional lime/carbonation to newer technologies like membrane filtration and ion exchange. ekoFEND integrates seamlessly into these sugar beet operations. It works in conjunction with existing processes to improve juice purification, without requiring costly infrastructure changes. This ensures that beet sugar producers can adopt ekoFEND easily while maintaining efficiency and product quality
