Description

1.Omega-6 ARA Microencapsulated Powder (Goat Milk Based Encapsulation)

Omega-6 ARA Powder is a functional nutritional ingredient designed for the global food, nutrition, and health product industries. Arachidonic acid (ARA) is a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the Omega-6 fatty acid family and plays a key role in human growth and physiological development.
ARA is naturally present in many tissues throughout the human body, particularly in the brain, retina, and nervous system. As a major component of membrane phospholipids, ARA contributes to cellular structure, neural signaling, and metabolic regulation.
Research indicates that arachidonic acid represents a significant proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in brain tissue. In the central nervous system, ARA contributes to membrane fluidity and neuronal signaling pathways that support cognitive development and neural communication.
In infants and young children, endogenous synthesis of arachidonic acid is relatively limited due to low activity of certain metabolic enzymes. Therefore, dietary intake of ARA is essential during early life stages to support optimal neurological development and immune function.
Human breast milk naturally contains both DHA and ARA, which are recognized as important fatty acids for infant development. Modern infant nutrition products often supplement ARA to more closely mimic the nutritional composition of breast milk.

2.Advanced Microencapsulation Technology

Omega-6 ARA powder is produced using advanced microencapsulation technology designed to stabilize sensitive polyunsaturated fatty acids.
During the manufacturing process, liquid ARA oil is emulsified into extremely fine droplets at submicron and nano-scale sizes. These droplets are then encapsulated within protective wall materials composed of skimmed goat milk powder. The encapsulation process forms stable microcapsules that protect the oil droplets from oxygen, light, and environmental stress.
Microencapsulation technology provides several key advantages:
• enhanced oxidative stability
• improved dispersibility in water systems
• reduced odor and flavor impact
• improved processing stability
• extended shelf life
• easier storage and transportation
The final product is a dry powder with excellent flowability and uniform particle distribution, suitable for industrial-scale food processing applications.

3.Goat Milk Based Encapsulation System

The encapsulation carrier used in this formulation is skimmed goat milk powder, which creates a goat milk-based microcapsule structure.
Goat milk-based encapsulation offers several functional advantages:
• good emulsifying properties
• strong compatibility with goat milk formula
• improved nutritional integration in dairy systems
• enhanced stability during processing
The goat milk encapsulation system is particularly suitable for goat milk infant formula and specialized dairy nutrition products. It enables manufacturers to maintain ingredient consistency within goat milk-based formulations.

4.Quality Management and Certifications

Production of Omega-6 ARA microencapsulated powder is carried out under internationally recognized quality and food safety management systems.
The manufacturing system complies with:
ISO 9001 Quality Management System
ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System
FSSC 22000 Food Safety Certification
The product also meets international dietary requirements and is certified under:
Halal Certification

Strict quality control procedures ensure full traceability throughout the production process, guaranteeing consistent product quality and safety.

5.Stable and Sustainable Supply

ARA microencapsulated powder is produced using controlled industrial production systems that are not dependent on seasonal natural resources. This ensures a stable and scalable supply of high-quality nutritional ingredients.
The production system enables consistent quality control and reliable supply for global manufacturers of infant nutrition products, dietary supplements, and functional foods.
