Organic Technologies has added two new DHA omega-3 concentrates to its line of MSC-certified AlaskOmega fish oils and concentrates—a high DHA concentrate, and a medium strength DHA (non-tuna) tuna oil alternative. AlaskOmega’s high DHA concentrate offers a minimum 460 mg/g DHA, 100 mg/g EPA in triglyceride (TG) form (TG100460). The tuna oil alternative is made from wild Alaska Pollock and provides the same EPA/DHA content typically found in tuna oil (minimum 50 mg/g EPA, 250 mg/g DHA in TG form).
Both DHA oils are MSC-certified and well suited for formulators looking for a fully sustainable DHA oil source that is low in oxidation (TOTOX max of 5), and offers excellent sensory characteristics. To assure AlaskOmega oils have optimal taste and smell, AlaskOmega analyzes the sensory of all its TG oils through a certified in-house organoleptic panel. “We see the demand for MSC-certified 100% sustainable DHA concentrates increasing as companies continue to move away from non-sustainable tuna-oil based products due to a potential concern about overfishing and bycatch, and the overall sustainability profile for tuna-based oils,” said Dan Wiley, vice president of nutrition and health at Organic Technologies. “AlaskOmega DHA oils are well suited for supplements targeting prenatal and childhood development, brain/cognitive health, eye and immunity health, offering an excellent sustainability and oil sensory profile.”
