Polaris has taken the potential of algal Omega-3 to a new level by launching its “Sensory” Concept. The new range of algal oil “Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver5” is produced entirely in France from sustainable sources of microalgae, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
These oils are derived from microalgae cultivated in a strictly controlled environment. It is extracted using an entirely natural enzymatic process with no solvents, then subjected to a high-tech purification and possibly to a concentration process. The whole production process is completely eco-friendly. Polaris algae oils are non-GMO verified, free from allergens, and they guarantee an optimal dosage thanks to its high content in DHA.
Two grades are available on the market: the natural one with 400 mg/g of DHA and the concentrate, which contains at least 700 mg/g of DHA. It also delivers exceptional stability performance with the latest Qualitysilver5 generation without impacting the organoleptic level of the finished products (neutral flavour & taste).
Omegavie oils benefit from Polaris’ unique 5th generation of Qualitysilver process, making them ultra-stable. This patented technology, specially designed for algal DHA, prevents the Omega-3 from oxidative stress, therefore avoids the polyunsaturated fatty acids degradation and reduces the risk of organoleptic failings in the finished product.
Omegavie DHA algae Qualitysilver5 is ideal for use in dietary supplements as well as food preparations (i.e milk, dressing oils, dairies...) due to its neutral organoleptic impact. DHA Omega-3 is recognised as contributing to the maintenance of normal vision, as well as normal brain and heart function. DHA supplementation is strongly recommended for pregnant women, particularly in the last three months of pregnancy, and for breastfeeding mothers.
The taste
A significant number of consumers cite fishy taste as one of the main reasons they do not consume EPA and DHA oils. Polaris cares about organoleptic properties so that consumers enjoy Omega-3 without bad smell and taste.
“Sensory” helps industrials to add innovative functional ingredients such as Omegavie marine or algae oils into finished products such as functional foods with a very low taste & flavour impact on the finished product.
Polaris guarantees the organoleptic performance of Omegavie oils thanks to its global industrial approach & performance measurement through panels & technical advice regarding Omega-3 applications.
This concept will strengthen the company’s Omega-3 expertise by proposing effective ingredients on a nutritional plan doubled with excellent organoleptic quality. A focus that opens the door to food supplements and functional foods. But also, infant nutrition with the future 2020 regulation, which will enable to increase the DHA dosage in baby milk where organoleptic quality will play a major role.
Vitafoods will take place on 7-9 May 2019 at Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland.
At the event, Polaris can be found at booth K71.
