Nutegrity broadens omega-3 offering through Oceans Omega partnership

Nutegrity has added an aqueous omega-3 EPA/DHA delivery system to its portfolio following a partnership with Oceans Omega located in Montvale, New Jersey.

Oceans Omega’s patented technology creates a highly purified translucent emulsion, which has a neutral taste, is virtually odourless, shelf-stable, and can be used to fortify clear beverages, beverage enhancers, gels, liquid supplements and gelatin-based products.

'Through our partnership with Oceans Omega, we are able to offer our clients an ingredient solution for the delivery of omega-3s in products such as enhanced waters or liquid nutritional shots,' said Terry Olson, President of Nutegrity.

'Nutegrity’s food and beverage customers can now use this highly innovative, robust and proprietary omega-3 ingredient in product applications previously not possible.'

Our emulsions help satisfy the growing demand for omega-3 fatty acids in the daily diet of average consumers

The water-soluble omega-3 emulsion, commercialised as OTEC 250CL-K, can be integrated into most common beverage manufacturing techniques including hot-fill, pasteurisation, cold-fill and carbonation. The emulsion integrates Nutegrity’s line of fish oils, which are sourced from sustainable fisheries. OTEC 250CL-K has GRAS status and is Kosher certified.

'We are pleased to have partnered with Nutegrity, which itself has a rich history in omega-3 ingredient innovation, to expand the availability of our omega-3 emulsions,' said Volker Berl, CEO of Oceans Omega.

'Our emulsions help satisfy the growing demand for omega-3 fatty acids in the daily diet of average consumers, especially of children and the ageing population. Through our patented delivery system, consumer goods companies can now achieve non-refrigerated, shelf-stable food and beverage products fortified with omega-3 fatty acids.'
