The food -, nutraceutical - and pharmaceutical industry are looking for innovations that respond to an increasing awareness of the health benefits of DHA and other Omega-3s. Such innovations seek to respond to changing demands of a group of consumers that are increasingly aware of the importance of food for their health, longevity and impact on the planet. These developments require ingredient suppliers and manufacturers to find answers to changing demands. Main drivers can be lifestyle or dietary choices like veganism or adhering to a plant-based diet. Also fortified foods that consumers already know and love is an example of such developments.

Why DHA?

Co-development
Over the past few years, the demand for high DHA oils combined with a minimal smell and odor footprint has been growing. These products would expand the field of oil application and present new opportunities to product development teams. The availability of such products would also enable more creative and niche-oriented companies to develop new products. Progress Biotech has successfully combined a pure and stable algal oil product with the best available refining and processing techniques, resulting in a flavorless and odorless high DHA algal oil. Algal oil that is free of odor and flavor opens up a whole new range of applications that were previously off limits for traditional Omega-3 products. This oil can be incorporated in a variety of delivery systems that are off-limits for traditional Omega-3 oils, such as gummies, chewables and direct-intake emulsions. |
In addition to the use of oils, encapsulated products are available when dry mixing of ingredients is required.
Compared with traditional pills and capsules, supplements in the form of gummies can be more appealing and convenient. The chewiness and flavorings (such as orange, cherry and raspberry) make them attractive to children and adults alike. Want to learn more about the possibilities for co-development?
