Leading nutritional ingredients producer DSM Nutritional Products has launched the best Omega-3 fish oil powder to date for maternal and infant nutrition.

Leading nutritional ingredients producer DSM Nutritional Products has launched the best Omega-3 fish oil powder to date for maternal and infant nutrition. This new formulation, ROPUFA® ‘10’ n-3 INF Powder S/SD, contains the ideal balance of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) for infant formula. It is odorless and tasteless, and it is ideally suited to meet the highly demanding standards set by the infant nutrition industry. The powder also disperses easily in water without settling, and is readibly broken down by gastric enzymes. All these characteristics make ROPUFA® ‘10’ n-3 INF Powder S/SD an obvious solution to providing the necessary nutritional balance of Omega-3 in baby milk formulas without adversely affecting infants` digestion. A common problem of some Omega-3 products is that they can have a ‘fishy’ taste. This is often the result of fish and algal-derived oils having oxidised. After years of research and testing, the formulation of ROPUFA® ‘10’ n-3 INF Powder S/SD is so advanced that it does not absorb oxygen. As a consequence, it is by far the most stable formulation on the market, as well as being tasteless. Manfred Eggersdorfer, Senior Vice President Research & Development, DSM Nutritional Products, comments: “ROPUFA® ‘10’ n-3 INF Powder S/SD raises the bar in terms of the product attributes customers should expect when purchasing micronutrients. Moreover, we haven’t modified the fish oil (which is the base for the manufacturing of the powder) either enzymatically or chemically, so our formulation remains natural and true to its origin. This ensures delivery of the maximum nutritional benefits.” Krijn Rietveld, Senior Vice President of DSM Nutritional Products’ Nutrition Innovation Group, adds: “ROPUFA® ‘10’n -3 INF Powder S/SD represents a notable breakthrough for DSM and the entire omega-3 oil industry. We hope it will become the industry standard in Omega-3 for maternal and infant nutrition. ”
