CEAPRO Inc. is a Canadian life science company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. They are experts in developing and commercializing newly discovered active ingredients from renewable natural sources through the use of proprietary technology. One of the company’s core businesses is supplying oat-derived ingredients to major global markets including avenanthramides, the compound in oats responsible for their soothing and skin relaxing properties.

One of CEAPRO’s advantages is their use of proprietary extraction technology. Their latest technique is PGX (Pressurized Gas eXpanded liquids) technology, a novel spray dying technique for processing water soluble biopolymers including oat beta glucan. The technology allows the production of biopolymers with numerous morphologies ranging from fine fibres to granular powders. Operating at a lower temperature than conventional spray drying PGX technology allows for the production of thermoactive and highly heat-sensitive compounds that were previously extractable only through more expensive and time consuming methods.
