UNIZ LAB · Core Technology
Proprietary Enzyme-Based
Spicule Refinement Technology
Using proprietary low-temperature enzyme treatment technology, we preserve the bioactive components of SPICULE to the maximum and produce raw materials with high purity.
Chemical Extraction vs. Enzyme Treatment
UNIZ LAB uses natural enzyme enzyme treatment instead of harmful chemical solvents for extraction
| Comparison Item | Conventional Chemical Extraction (HCl) | UNIZ LAB Enzyme Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Solvent | ✕Strong acids such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) | ✓Natural enzyme culture medium |
| Temperature | ✕High-temperature processing (80–120°C) | ✓4°C Low-temperature enzyme treatment |
| Active Components | ✕30%+ loss from thermal decomposition | ✓99.8% component retention |
| Residual Solvent | ✕Solvent residue inside spicule cylinder → formulation breakdown after 2~3 months | ✓Zero residual solvent (ND) → long-term formulation stability |
| Environment | ✕Hazardous wastewater generation | ✓Zero chemical solvents, eco-friendly |
| Purity | ✕85~95% | ✓99.8% or higher |
4-Step Enzyme Treatment & Extraction Process
All stages comply with ISO standards
Raw Material Pretreatment
Harvested farmed sponges are precision-cleaned and separated to completely remove foreign materials.
Low-Temperature Enzyme Treatment Initiation
Proprietary protease enzyme solution is introduced at 4°C to begin enzyme treatment.
72-Hour Treatment Monitoring
pH, temperature, and activity are monitored in real-time over 72 hours.
Extraction and Purification
Supercritical extraction separates and purifies bioactive components without loss.
Key Advantages of Enzyme Treatment
Eco-Friendly Process
100% biological extraction process with zero chemical solvents. No hazardous wastewater generation.
Active Component Retention
Low-temperature enzyme treatment preserves 99.8% or more of heat-sensitive bioactive components.
High Purity Achievement
Combined with 23-stage purification process to produce high-purity raw materials with less than 0.2% impurities.
Reproducibility Assurance
Standardized enzyme treatment protocol minimizes quality variance between batches.
