Chemical Names: Microbial oil with a high content of arachidonic acid (ARA)
Molecular Formula: C19H31COOH
Molecular Weight: 304.5g/mol
Description:
Light yellow to light free-flowing dry powder consists of fine spherical particles.
Composition:
The particles contain microencapsulated microbial oil rich in arachidonic acid (ARA) that is embedded in a matrix of gum Arabic (E414), sucrose and coated with starch. The product contains sodium ascorbate (E301), ascorbyl palmitate (E304), lecithin (E322) and DL-alpha-tocopherol (E307) as antixidants.
Solubility:
The product can be dispersed even in cold water to form stable milky emulsion with good longterm stability.
Specification of Oil:
Microbial oil containing arachidonic acid in triglyceride form. The oil is produced by fermentation based on the fungus.
Proportion of fatty acids in oil:
(approximate data in weigh-%)
ARA: 42%
Other omega-6 fatty acids: 14%
Omega-3 fatty acids: 1%
Other fatty acids: 43%
Monographs:
