DHA Powder

DHA Powder: Premium Omega-3 Nutritional Ingredient for Global Food & Health Industries

Avans NutriHealth Co., Ltd. offers pharmaceutical grade DHA Powder using advanced microencapsulation technology. Our product is characterised by a high DHA load from 10 to 40% (w/w). The surface free oil content is tightly kept below 1.0% to provide optimal oxidative stability. Spray-dried method. Dual-layer encapsulation. The shelf life of the product is 2-3 years and the particle size of 150-300 microns for better dispersibility. Our integrated manufacturing facility with full technical support services, provides reliable raw materials with COA, ISO, HACCP, FSSC22000, HALAL and USDA certifications.

Why Choose Our DHA Powder for Your Formulations?

Today's food and pharmaceutical sectors need ingredients that are both stable and functional. Our powder is designed to overcome important formulation problems.

The microencapsulated structure protects the Docosahexaenoic Acid from oxidative breakdown. This avoids rancidity problems with liquid oils. Your items are fresh throughout their whole shelf life.

Cold water dispersibility can create stable emulsions that do not separate into two phases within 30 minutes. This attribute makes your production procedures a lot easier. Our powder may be integrated into existing production processes without adjustments to equipment.

Thermal stability Flash pasteurisation at 85°C for 30 seconds. This toughness makes it an ideal choice for dairy processing and bread applications. This offers significantly greater formulation flexibility than heat sensitive liquid alternatives.

Technical Specifications

Diverse Applications Across Industries

Maternal Food and Infant Formula

Our DHA Powder satisfies the stringent microbiological sterility standards for newborn nutrition. The particle structure resembles lactose flowability and thus avoids nutrients stratification during transportation and storage.

The consistent blending properties are advantageous for manufacturers of infant milk powder Stages 1-3. This means that each meal a parent makes for his or her children will have an equal DHA distribution.

Sports Nutrition & Functional Premixes

High oxidative resistance counters pro-oxidant elements such as iron and copper contained in protein formulations. Your whey products taste good for up to 18 months.

Taste isn't compromised when you fortify protein shakes and meal replacement powders with omega-3. Athletes and health-conscious customers get necessary fatty acids in convenient formats.

Chewable Supplements and Gummies

Thermal tolerance during slurry boiling stages (100°C+) allows for the fortification of pectin or gelatin-based confections. Our powder dissolves entirely, leaving no grit behind.

The pH stability at acidic pH (3.0-4.0) protects the DHA integrity in fruit flavoured candies. Children and adults love the nice flavour of vitamins, no fishy aftertaste.

FAQ

Q: How does bioavailability compare to softgel oil?

A: Microencapsulated powder offers equal or superior bioavailability. The emulsification process increases lipid droplet surface area, facilitating faster pancreatic lipase action in the small intestine for efficient absorption.

Q: Can I use this powder in vegan products?

A: Yes, when specified with starch-based or gum acacia carriers. Verify that your order uses algal oil (Schizochytrium sp.) as the DHA source rather than fish oil, and confirm plant-based wall materials instead of sodium caseinate.

Q: What causes soapy taste in some formulations?

A: Soapy notes indicate free fatty acid degradation or alkaline ingredient interactions. High-quality powders with proper wall materials should deliver neutral, slightly nutty, or creamy flavor profiles. Storage below 25°C with nitrogen flushing prevents this issue.

Q: How should I handle the powder during production?

A: Add powder at the latest mixing stage to minimize shear stress on microcapsules. This reduces rupture risk and preserves encapsulation integrity. Store opened bags below 25°C with nitrogen flushing to prevent oxidation.

Q: Will it work in clear beverages?

A: Standard powder creates milky emulsions unsuitable for clear applications due to protein or starch carriers. It performs ideally in smoothies, dairy drinks, and opaque formulations where visual clarity is not required.
