Description

1.Ultra-High Load Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder ≥30%

Ultra-High Load Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder is an advanced omega-3 nutritional ingredient designed for modern food, nutrition, and functional product development. Through proprietary electrostatic microencapsulation technology, high-purity algal DHA oil is encapsulated into microscopic protective capsules that convert liquid omega-3 oil into a stable powder ingredient.
This microencapsulated DHA powder contains ≥30% DHA in triglyceride form, making it a high-concentration omega-3 ingredient suitable for applications requiring very low dosage levels while maintaining effective DHA nutritional fortification.
Compared with conventional DHA powders, the ultra-high oil loading microencapsulation technology significantly increases the DHA concentration per gram while maintaining excellent stability, dispersibility, and flavor performance.

2.DHA – A Critical Omega-3 Nutrient

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is an essential omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that plays a key role in human health. It is an important structural component of the brain and retina and is crucial for neurological development, cognitive function, and visual health.
DHA accounts for approximately:
• 20% of the fatty acids in the human cerebral cortex
• Nearly 50% of fatty acids in retinal photoreceptor cells
Because the human body synthesizes very limited DHA, dietary intake is necessary to maintain optimal physiological function. DHA fortification is therefore widely used in infant nutrition, functional foods, dietary supplements, and medical nutrition products.

3.Advanced Microencapsulation Technology

This product utilizes patented electrostatic microencapsulation technology to encapsulate algal DHA oil within a protective wall material matrix.
Encapsulation materials include:
• Starch-based encapsulation systems
• Casein-based encapsulation systems
The microencapsulation process forms a stable barrier around the DHA oil droplets, protecting the active ingredient from oxidation, light exposure, and environmental stress during processing and storage.
Key benefits of the microencapsulation technology include:
• Ultra-high oil loading capability
• High encapsulation efficiency
• Uniform microcapsule particle distribution
• Reduced oxidation and improved stability
• Effective odor masking
• Improved solubility and dispersibility
• Enhanced bioavailability
Microscopic analysis confirms that the microcapsules maintain a complete and uniform structure, ensuring consistent DHA delivery across multiple applications.

4.Excellent Solubility and Instant Dispersion

Ultra-High Load DHA Microencapsulated Powder demonstrates excellent instant solubility in aqueous systems.
In dissolution testing:
1 gram of 30% DHA microencapsulated powder dissolves completely in 150 mL of water at 40°C within 20 seconds.
This fast dispersion performance allows the ingredient to be easily incorporated into:
• Instant nutritional beverages
• Functional drink powders
• Meal replacement shakes
• Liquid nutritional systems
The powder disperses evenly without clumping or oil separation, providing stable and consistent DHA delivery.

5.Superior Odor Control and Stability

Omega-3 oils are susceptible to oxidation and can produce unpleasant fishy odors during processing or storage. The microcapsule structure effectively isolates DHA oil from oxygen and environmental factors.
Accelerated stability testing demonstrates that the microencapsulated DHA powder maintains very low levels of odor-forming compounds, even under elevated temperature conditions.
The encapsulation system effectively masks the marine flavor of algal oil, allowing the ingredient to be used in flavor-sensitive formulations such as:
• Infant nutrition products
• cereal foods
• protein bars
• meal replacement powders

6.Ultra-High Oil Loading Advantage

The ≥30% DHA content provides significant formulation advantages for manufacturers.
Because the ingredient contains a high concentration of DHA, only a small dosage is required to achieve target DHA fortification levels. This offers several benefits:
• Reduced ingredient usage
• Lower formulation cost
• Minimal impact on flavor
• Improved product stability
• Greater flexibility in formulation design
This makes the product particularly suitable for high-value nutritional formulations and compact food systems.
