What is REDGEM?
REDGEM is a proprietary formulation of natural minerals and carbon, developed as a direct 1-to-1 replacement for traditional bleaching earth or clay in edible oil refining and other related applications. While it can be used on its own to mitigate against contaminants like 3-MCPDE and GE, REDGEM is also a key component in a Sumwin's unique and patented 3-step 3MCPDE and GE mitigation technology designed to significantly reduce these harmful contaminants.
​
Offering comparable pricing to conventional bleaching clays, REDGEM delivers added value by effectively reducing the precursors of 3-MCPDE and GE—helping producers meet EFSA standards without the need for costly additional treatments.
