IngreVita, a new oil blend from Cargill, features a blend of high oleic canola oil, fish oil and proprietary antioxidants, to deliver long-chain omega-3s (EPA and DHA), and essential nutrients that play an important role in heart health and brain development.
"Consumers tell us they are looking for added nutrition in the foods they buy, and there is a growing awareness of the benefits of omega-3s," said Kristine Sanschagrin, marketing manager of Specialty Seeds and Oil Cargill. "IngreVita is perfect for manufacturers looking to include long-chain omega-3s in their food and beverage formulations."
Because handling of the product is similar to canola oil, it is easy to use, according to the company. Cargill said the product offers good shelf stability and does not introduce off-flavors.
EPA and DHA are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids that our bodies do not efficiently make. Average consumption of EPA and DHA in the U.S. is well below the American Heart Association's recommendation of 250-500 mg per day. For the general population, increased consumption of EPA and DHA through functional foods, as part of a balanced diet, could help to support health and wellness.
