Fish Oil Powder

Marine fish oil rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, microencapsulated on a carrier matrix to produce a free-flowing, oxidation-stable powder suitable for dry-blend, sachet, bar, and tablet applications.

White to pale yellow free-flowing powder. The encapsulation system is typically modified starch, gum acacia, or sodium caseinate, with antioxidant protection (tocopherols and rosemary extract) applied to control peroxide development during shelf life.

We supply food-grade Fish Oil Powder from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production. Origin is anchoveta and sardine from Peru and Chile or wild-caught equivalents from other Friend of the Sea or MSC-certified fisheries on request.

Common market grades include 10 percent and 18 percent total omega-3 load (the volume-market formats), 25 percent and 30 percent omega-3 load for premium and infant-formula use, and customised EPA-to-DHA ratios per customer specification (typically 18:12, 12:18, or 5:30 for cardiovascular, balanced, and brain-positioning respectively).

Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering omega-3 content (EPA, DHA, total), peroxide value, anisidine value, TOTOX, heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead, cadmium), dioxins and PCBs, and microbiology.

The cardiovascular and developmental benefits of omega-3 EPA and DHA from marine sources have been studied since Bang and Dyerberg's epidemiological work on Greenland Inuit populations in the 1970s. The dietary supplement market for omega-3 oils developed in parallel, principally in liquid and softgel-encapsulated formats.

The conversion of fish oil to powder form expanded commercial reach into dry-blend applications where liquid oils were impractical: infant formula, sachet drinks, nutrition bars, and tablets. Spray-drying of oil-in-water emulsions on starch and protein carriers is the standard production route, with antioxidant systems applied during emulsification to control peroxide development.

Recognised as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA, EFSA, and the relevant authorities in China, Japan, and most other major jurisdictions. Approved at specific inclusion levels for infant-formula use in China and the EU.

Oxidative stability is the principal manufacturing and shelf-life consideration. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are susceptible to oxidation in the presence of oxygen and trace metals, and finished-product specifications for peroxide value, anisidine value, and TOTOX (total oxidation, the sum of the two) are tighter than for any other oil category in food use.

Heavy metal and persistent organic pollutant control is the second specification driver. Wild-caught fish accumulate mercury, dioxins, and PCBs through the marine food chain, and premium manufacturers operate molecular-distillation purification steps that remove these contaminants to well below regulatory limits, supported by full batch-level COA documentation.
