New Fish-Free Omega 3 Hits Market
26 Oct 2016 --- French marine lipid experts Polaris have revealed a new fish-free Omega 3 product. Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5, made from European algal oil, is not only pure, natural, and sustainable, but also delivers exceptionally high stability.
Produced entirely in Europe from sustainable sources of microalgae, Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Polaris claim the new product offers unmatched levels of stability. Algal oils rich in DHA Omega-3 are highly sensitive to oxidation, but Omegavie benefits from Polaris’ unique Qualitysilver process, making it ultra-stable.
Their patented technology specially designed for algal DHA, guards against oxidation, and combats the degradation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Testing has shown that Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 is five times more stable than standard algal oil, which means that its nutritional, flavor, aroma and mouth feel qualities are perfectly preserved, and its shelf life optimized.
Véronique Sancéau, Marketing Manager at Polaris, said: “Demand for Omega-3 ingredients is growing across the world, and demand for vegetarian Omega-3 is expected to grow even faster. As a high-quality source of Omega-3 which is completely vegetarian and sustainably produced in Europe, the potential of Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 is enormous.”
“But where Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 really offers exciting new possibilities is its unmatched stability.” “DHA-rich oils are generally highly sensitive to oxidation but Omegavie benefits from our unique anti-oxidation technology, guaranteeing exceptionally stable, long-lasting oils.”
“We are proud to be able to present a source of Omega-3 which is not only pure, natural and sustainably produced, but also ultra-stable.”
Derived from microalgae cultivated in a strictly controlled environment, Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 is extracted using an entirely natural enzymatic process with no solvents, then subjected to a high-tech purification process that eliminates potential traces of residual contaminants to the extent that they are undetectable.
The whole production process takes place in Europe, and is eco-friendly.
Free from allergens, and guaranteed not to contain toxins, Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 is ideal for use in both the dietary supplement and food markets. DHA Omega-3 is recognized as contributing to the maintenance of normal vision, as well as normal brain and heart function. DHA supplementation is strongly recommended for pregnant women, particularly in the last three months of pregnancy, and for breastfeeding mothers.
Applications for food include dairy products such as milk and butter, as well as bread and cereals.
Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver 5 will be on show on the Polaris stand at Health Ingredients Europe in Frankfurt between 28 November and 1 December.
