Carbery Launches New Omega-3 Enriched Whey Protein
100 per cent natural, Carbelac Omega 3 is easily dispersed and retains an excellent biological value, enabling manufacturers to produce clean-tasting and highly effective products.
Leading dairy ingredient supplier Carbery has launched an Omega 3-enriched whey protein concentrate (WPC) as part of its Carbelac range. Clean tasting and high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), Carbelac Omega 3 is a marketing leading WPC, providing good mouthfeel and texture. Allowing manufacturers to meet nutritional daily allowance guidelines in a single ingredient, Carbelac Omega 3 appeals to the growing demand for fortified foods and is ideal for use in meal replacement, clinical nutrition and low calorie diet applications. This launch follows extensive development work into the combined potency of whey protein and healthy oils.
“By adding eye, brain and heart healthy Omega 3 to our whey protein concentrates, we are able to offer our customers the joint benefits of essential fatty acids and whey protein,” comments Paul Donegan Marketing Manager, Carbery Ingredients. “The demand for effective functional ingredients is particularly high in the clinical nutrition and low calorie diet channels where consumers need an easy way to meet daily nutritional guidelines and support health. We also have the capabilities to develop WPCs enriched with other healthy fats such as Omega 6 and can develop customised solutions to meet individual requirements.”
100 per cent natural, Carbelac Omega 3 is easily dispersed and retains an excellent biological value, enabling manufacturers to produce clean-tasting and highly effective products. It is available in a number of formats including Omega 3 ALA (alpha-linoleic acid) and EPA+DHA (eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid). In accordance with food labelling guidelines, customers can specify the level of Omega 3 in order to make ‘source of Omega 3 fatty acids’ and ‘high in Omega 3 fatty acids’ claims on their products.
