Vitafoods preview: Frutarom Health moves into omega-3
Frutarom Switzerland has announced its entry into the omega-3 market with high quality and deodorised DHA and EPA marine-sourced omega-3 ingredients
Frutarom Switzerland has announced its entry into the omega-3 market with high quality and deodorised DHA and EPA marine-sourced omega-3 ingredients designed for a variety of food and beverage applications and dietary supplements.
“As the leading provider of specialty fine ingredients, flavours and savoury solutions, Frutarom has excellent access into the food and beverage industries, enabling it to help food manufacturers fortify food with omega-3,” explains Holger Riemensperger, General Manager of Frutarom Health. “Thanks to Frutarom’s expertise, we can easily implement the new line into any food matrix, such as dairy, bakery, baby food, cereals, oils, confectionary and beverages, etc. It is both deodorized and has no negative impact on taste.
“This step combines Frutarom’s two great strengths: strong market access and a wealth of experience in science-based health ingredients, and follows the company’s strategic move last year into the functional food market,” notes Riemensperger. “Omega-3 perfectly fits the Health Business Unit strategy of focusing on scientifically proven, high quality health ingredients.”
The new omega-3 line is produced using the latest technology and controlled sourcing of high-end raw materials. The new line also includes omega-3 high concentrates for use in dietary supplements, allowing a higher concentration of DHA and EPA content, and thus a smaller size of softgels, making it easier to take.
