A direct biological source of omega-3 EPA
EPA is an established long-chain omega-3 fatty acid used across nutraceutical, dietary supplement and other nutrition applications. Microalgae provide a biological source that can be cultivated independently of wild-fish harvesting.
Designed for nutrition applications
Nutraceuticals
EPA-rich ingredients for specialist nutrition formulations and branded nutraceutical products.
Dietary supplements
Being developed for capsule, softgel and other supplement formats where formulation requirements can be met.
Functional nutrition
Being developed for functional nutrition applications where ingredient format, stability and sensory requirements align.
Speciality nutrition
Selected higher-value nutrition applications with clearly defined technical, regulatory and commercial requirements.
Building around the requirements that matter
EPA profile
Developing the biology and processing needed to produce an EPA-rich ingredient suited to defined nutrition applications.
Product quality
Developing around the composition, stability, sensory, purity and quality requirements expected by ingredient customers.
Format & handling
Product format, packaging and supply conditions are developed around the needs of commercial ingredient customers.
Customer qualification
Understanding how prospective customers assess new ingredients, suppliers and technical documentation.
Product development starts with the application
Different customers require different EPA profiles, formats, documentation, certifications, order patterns and qualification processes.
Product definition
Customer needs inform composition, format and quality priorities.
Supply requirements
Expected volume, order pattern, packaging and supply requirements help define how the product needs to work commercially.
Qualification readiness
Technical documentation, testing and approval requirements are considered early.
How the platform supports EPA-rich oil
NuFoods is developing EPA-rich oil using controlled photobioreactor cultivation, managed LED lighting, process monitoring and downstream processing designed around the requirements of the target product.
Controlled biology
PBR cultivation provides a managed environment around the biological production step.
Managed lighting
LED lighting supports greater control over light availability as part of the cultivation system.
Product-specific processing
Harvesting, concentration and oil processing are developed around the quality and performance required in the finished ingredient.
