INNOBIO Introduces DurOmega® DHA Powder for Plant-Based Omega-3 Formulations

INNOBIO is highlighting its DurOmega® DHA Powder, a microencapsulated omega-3 derived from algae for food, beverage and supplements. This product is especially useful for the manufacturers who want to introduce DHA in their products but face problems like oxidation, off-odors, handling difficulties, and uneven distribution.

DHA is applied in many products related to brain, vision, and cardiovascular health, and consumers demand for plant-based omega-3 sources is growing. DurOmega® DHA Powder uses microalgae as its DHA source, thus providing a fish-free solution for powdered drinks, tablets, capsules, gummies, nutrition bars, jellies and baked goods.

Several DHA Grades for Different Formulas

DurOmega® DHA Powder comes in many grades. Each grade offers a different concentration based on the manufacturer's requirements for DHA content, dosage and production.

The powder provides up to 30% DHA, enabling manufacturers to obtain a higher active ingredient content without adding bulk to the formulation. This also benefits logistics and storage from a logistics and storage point of view.

Microencapsulation technology of INNOBIO allows to keep oil at the required level. As a result of decreasing the surface oil content, the product gets protected from oxidation and hydrolysis. The particles have certain spherical shape and range of size.

Good Water Dispersibility

CWD grades are used for applications involving an ingredient that must disperse in cold water. They can be applied in neutral, acidic, and mildly alkaline liquid systems, dispersing to form a stable emulsion with minimal clumping and sedimentation.

The uniform particle form and free-flowness of DurOmega® DHA Powder enable the manufacturers to blend the ingredient more easily and to avoid the possibility of improper mixing.

Manufacturers can choose either dairy or vegan options to produce regular or plant-based dietary products.

A Cleaner Sensory Profile

Developing everyday food products with omega-3 ingredients can be challenging due to taste and odor. DurOmega® DHA Powder is manufactured with strict control over the volatile compounds responsible for fishy notes, keeping undesirable tastes and smells within acceptable limits. Therefore, a cleaner sensory profile is highly advantageous when formulating beverages, dietary powders, and similar products that do not rely on strong flavor masking.

Algal DHA with a Fish-Free Source

DurOmega® DHA Powder is derived from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. rather than fish sources. The ingredient is derived from fermented microalgae and as a result, it can be used in fish-free and vegan product applications and replaces the marine-sourced omega 3 ingredients. The product range is certified Kosher, Halal, and Vegan, allowing companies to cater to a variety of dietary needs.

Applications Across Nutrition Categories

DurOmega® DHA Powder can be used in several products. These can range from infant to elderly nutrition, FSMP products, meal replacement , dietary supplements, plant-based drinks, gummies, and baked foods.

The different concentrations and formats of DHA made available as powders give product designers flexibility when choosing ingredients for the formulation of products. It is possible to develop vegan and dairy-based products also using the appropriate grades of DurOmega®.

Quality Control and Technical Support

INNOBIO has implemented quality controls for DurOmega® DHA Powder that will detect contaminants, heavy metals, and microbial specifications. The importance of these controls increases in stringent quality conditions such as infant nutrition and FSMP.

INNOBIO has worldwide operations, which help customers both in China, Europe and the USA. Here, supply of the ingredients is complemented with regional technical support. Their experience in biosynthesis and microencapsulation is essential for developing the ingredients for various nutrition solutions.
