MATERIAL LAB · PROJECT 2
Nothing Ends at the Factory
Peels, seeds and pomace left after processing are turned into new food and material value.
THESIS
The greatest value is not in powder, but in “standardized ingredients”
Supplying what used to be discarded — clean, uniform and fully documented. SOLKERN MATERIAL LAB creates value through quality assurance and consistency, not novelty.
TRACKS
Three material tracks
BEAUTY
Beauty materials
Polyphenol-standardized pomegranate peel extracts and natural scrub powders from fruit seeds and peels, graded by particle size for different skin types.
- Pomegranate peel extract
- Pomegranate · cherry · apricot seed powder
- Walnut shell · grape seed powder
● Sourcing · first order in progress
FOOD
Food materials
RTE/RTD shakes based on fruit and grain powders, and apple pomace fiber. A novel-ingredient approval track runs in parallel so usable ingredients come first.
- Fruit pulp powders (pomegranate, cherry, apricot, apple…)
- Grain powders
- Pomace dietary fiber
● Recipe development · feasibility
INGREDIENT
Industrial materials
Mesh-graded abrasives and fillers from walnut shells and other nut by-products, supplied as B2B ingredients with spec sheets and test reports.
- Walnut shell abrasive
- Nut by-product fillers
- Standardized powders
● Sourcing review
PROCESS
From by-product to standardized ingredient
01
Sourcing
By-products from Uzbekistan & Türkiye; freeze-drying and milling
02
Analysis
Composition, pesticide residues, heavy metals; certificates of analysis
03
Regulatory review
Usable scope under the Food Code and cosmetic ingredient rules
04
Secondary processing
Extraction, fractionation, particle design, standardization in Korea
05
Commercialization · B2B
Ingredient supply, OEM/ODM development, partner collaboration
Regulation first
We confirm usability and approval tracks before investing.
Speak with data
No unverified efficacy or comparison claims — we propose with COAs and spec sheets.
Residue is a resource
Pectin and fiber left after extraction are designed as secondary revenue.
Propose an ingredient collaboration
By-product supply, joint R&D, ingredient purchase, OEM/ODM — every form of collaboration is welcome.
