Omega-6 ARA Microencapsulated Powder (Dairy-Based)

Omega-6 ARA Powder Microencapsulated Dairy Based

Omega-6 ARA Powder (Arachidonic Acid Powder) is a high-value nutritional lipid ingredient produced using advanced microencapsulation technology. Arachidonic acid (ARA) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid widely distributed in human tissues and belongs to the Omega-6 fatty acid family. It plays a critical role in brain development, neural signaling, immune regulation, and cellular membrane structure.

ARA is particularly abundant in the brain and nervous system. Studies show that ARA can account for up to 40% of the polyunsaturated fatty acids in brain tissue, and its proportion may reach as high as 70% in certain neural terminals. Because infants have relatively low enzymatic activity required to synthesize arachidonic acid, dietary intake is essential during early development. Human breast milk naturally contains both ARA and DHA, which are important for healthy neurological and visual development.

Omega-6 ARA Powder is produced by encapsulating ARA oil into stable microcapsules using whey protein as the encapsulating carrier. The microencapsulation process converts the oil into submicron and nano-scale droplets that are uniformly embedded in a protective wall material, forming a free-flowing dry powder.

The final product appears as a uniform white or light yellow powder with excellent dispersibility, stability, and flowability. It exhibits low odor characteristics and an extended shelf life, making it suitable for a wide range of food and nutrition applications.

This ingredient is widely used in infant formula, dietary supplements, functional foods, medical nutrition products, and other health-oriented food formulations.
