Frutarom Switzerland has launched DHA and EPA marine-sourced omega-3 ingredients, designed for use in a range of food and beverage, and dietary supplement products.
The move marks Frutarom Switzerland Health BU's entry into the omega-3 segment, and follows the company's move last year into the functional food market.
The omega-3 line is produced using advanced technology and controlled sourcing of raw materials, the company said.
It includes omega-3 high concentrates for use in dietary supplements, which allows a higher concentration of DHA and EPA content, smaller size of soft gels.
Frutarom Health general manager Holger Riemensperger said that as the leading provider of specialty fine ingredients, flavors and savory solutions, Frutarom has excellent access into the food and beverage industries, enabling it to help food manufacturers fortify food with omega-3.
"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, beverages etc. It is both deodorized and without any negative impact on the taste," Riemensperger added.
"Omega-3 perfectly fits the Health Business Unit strategy of focusing on scientifically proven, high quality health ingredients."
