Algal Oil DHA Microencapsulated Powder 10% 20%（starch-based or casein-based ）
Omega-3 Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder 10% 20%
Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder is a premium nutritional ingredient produced using advanced microencapsulation technology to stabilize high-purity algal DHA oil. The DHA oil, derived from marine microalgae, is encapsulated within a protective microcapsule structure using starch-based or casein-based wall materials, forming a free-flowing powder with excellent stability and dispersibility.
This microencapsulated DHA powder contains 10% or 20% DHA in triglyceride (TG) form and is designed for optimal solubility, low odor, and improved bioavailability. The microcapsule structure effectively protects DHA from oxidation while masking the characteristic fishy odor often associated with omega-3 oils. Under microscopic observation, the microcapsules maintain a uniform and intact structure, ensuring consistent performance in a wide range of food and nutritional formulations.
The powder disperses rapidly in warm water and demonstrates excellent reconstitution properties, making it ideal for beverage systems and instant nutritional products. In laboratory testing, 1 gram of high-content microencapsulated DHA powder can fully disperse in 150 mL of water at 40°C within 20 seconds, highlighting its superior dispersibility.
High-Content Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder is widely used in infant nutrition, dietary supplements, cereal foods, functional beverages, and meal replacement formulations. The product offers excellent flavor performance, processing stability, and broad compatibility with diverse food matrices.
As a professional DHA ingredient supplier, we provide customizable microencapsulation solutions, including starch-based encapsulation, casein-based encapsulation, and OEM formulations tailored to the needs of global manufacturers, brand owners, and ingredient distributors.
Description
1.Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder
High-Content Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder is an advanced omega-3 nutritional ingredient developed for global food, nutrition, and health product manufacturers. Utilizing patented microencapsulation technology, high-purity algal DHA oil is encapsulated into microscopic protective structures, transforming sensitive omega-3 oil into a stable, easy-to-handle powder form.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is one of the most important omega-3 fatty acids for human health. It plays a critical role in brain development, cognitive function, and visual health. DHA is an essential structural component of the human brain and retina, accounting for approximately 20% of fatty acids in the cerebral cortex and nearly 50% in retinal photoreceptor membranes.
Because the human body has limited ability to synthesize DHA, dietary intake is essential. High-quality DHA ingredients are therefore widely used in infant nutrition, functional foods, dietary supplements, and medical nutrition products.
Our High-Content Algal DHA Microencapsulated Powder is specifically designed to deliver stable, highly bioavailable DHA in powder form while addressing common formulation challenges such as oxidation, fishy odor, and poor solubility.
2.Advanced Microencapsulation Technology
The product is produced using electrostatic microencapsulation technology that encapsulates DHA oil droplets within protective wall materials. This process creates a microcapsule structure that protects the DHA oil core from oxygen, moisture, and environmental stress.
The microencapsulation process offers several advantages:
• High encapsulation efficiency
• Uniform microcapsule structure
• Reduced oxidation risk
• Effective odor masking
• Improved dispersibility and solubility
• Enhanced bioavailability
Microscopic observation confirms that the microcapsules maintain intact and consistent structures, which ensures stable DHA delivery across various food and beverage systems.
3.Excellent Solubility and Dispersion
One of the key advantages of this high-content DHA microcapsule powder is its excellent instant solubility. The powder disperses rapidly in water without clumping or oil separation.
In laboratory dissolution testing:
1 gram of 30% DHA microencapsulated powder dissolved completely in 150 mL of water at 40°C within only 20 seconds.
This superior reconstitution performance makes the ingredient ideal for instant beverages, nutritional drinks, and powdered formulations.
4.Low Odor and High Stability
Omega-3 oils often produce undesirable fishy odors due to oxidation during processing or storage. The microencapsulation structure effectively protects DHA oil from exposure to oxygen and heat, significantly reducing odor generation.
Accelerated stability testing shows that microencapsulated DHA powder maintains low levels of odor-forming compounds even under elevated temperature conditions. The encapsulation system effectively masks the natural marine flavor of algal oil, allowing the ingredient to be used in sensitive food applications such as infant nutrition and cereal products.
