Tinkature holds an exclusive licence to the Tilby Lang System — two integrated technical platforms that split, separate and refine sugarcane into three high-value streams of innovative functional ingredients: bioactive tricin-extract, sugarcane juice concentrate and nutritional fibre.
Tinkature holds an exclusive licence to the Tilby Lang System — a technical platform that splits, separates, processes and refines sugarcane into high-value outputs far exceeding the returns of conventional milling.
The Tilby Lang System produces three high-value streams of innovative functional ingredients — bioactive tricin-extract, nutritional fibre and sugarcane juice concentrate — targeting growing markets in food, beverage and wellness.
Tinkature is positioned to become the world's first industrial-scale supplier of tricin-extract, which, as an additive, lowers the glycemic index of carbohydrate-rich foods.
By applying proven Counter-Current Extraction (CCE) technology to sugarcane, the Tilby Lang System preserves the natural matrix of polyphenols and antioxidants — delivering nutraceutical-grade bioactives at industrial scale.
Tinkature's facilities are designed to be co-located with legacy sugar mills and existing sugarcane infrastructure, leveraging significant operational and financial synergies. The modular plant design ensures capital efficiency and allows for rapid expansion to meet growing global demand.
Tinkature's three product streams sit inside large, growing, structurally vulnerable global markets — food and beverage, nutritional fibre and functional nutraceuticals — backed by a defensible cost-advantage model.
Sugarcane is one of the world's most productive crops by biomass — a tall perennial grass that thrives across tropical and subtropical climates. Yet conventional sugar mills capture only a fraction of its value, crushing the entire stalk to extract juice for sugar and molasses while burning the leftover bagasse as low-grade boiler fuel.
The true value of sugarcane lies in the high-value products that can be derived from its distinct components, none of which can be produced through conventional processing. The Tilby Lang System integrates two established technologies — proprietary cane separation and counter-current extraction — to fully unlock that potential, opening up an array of innovative functional ingredients.
From a single tonne of cane, the Tilby Lang System produces a portfolio of high-margin functional ingredients targeted at food, beverage and wellness markets.
