Polaris Launches New Omega-3 Product and Concept

05.14.18

Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is produced in France from sustainable sources of microalgae.

Polaris has taken the potential of algal omega-3s to a new level by launching its Omegavie DHA 650 Qualitysilver 5 (high concentrate and highly performing omega-3 algal oil).

Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is produced entirely in France from sustainable sources of microalgae, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It also delivers exceptional concentration and stability performance, without impacting the organoleptic level of the finished products (neutral flavor & taste), according to the company. 

Omegavie oils benefit from Polaris’ unique fifth generation of Qualitysilver process, making it ultra-stable. This patented technology, specially designed for algal DHA, prevents oxidative stress, therefore avoiding the polyunsaturated fatty acids degradation and reducing the risk of organoleptic failing in the finished product.

Testing has shown that Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is about four times more stable than standard algal oil, which means that its nutritional, flavor, aroma and mouthfeel qualities are preserved, and its shelf life optimized, the company claimed. 

Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is derived from microalgae cultivated in a strictly controlled environment. It is extracted using an entirely natural enzymatic process with no solvents, then subjected to a high-tech purification and concentration process. The whole production process is completely eco-friendly. Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is Non-GMO Project Verified, free from allergens, and guaranteed an optimal dosage thanks to its high content in DHA.

Omegavie DHA 650 algae Qualitysilver 5 is ideal for use in dietary supplements as well as food preparations (i.e., milk, dressing oils, dairy products, etc.) due to its neutral organoleptic impact. DHA omega-3 is recognized as contributing to the maintenance of normal vision, as well as normal brain and heart function. DHA supplementation is strongly recommended for pregnant women, particularly in the last three months of pregnancy, and for breastfeeding mothers.

In order to penetrate the functional foods market or specific dietary supplements like gummies or syrups, Polaris launches the “Sensory” concept applied to its Omegavie oils with a high organoleptic promise: outstanding organoleptic properties meaning very low taste and flavor impact on the finished product. Polaris has invested for several months in two testing panels: an internal and an external one. This way, Polaris is able to offer a range of performing oils not only rich in omega-3s, but also with desirable mouthfeel qualities coming from a marine or microalgae origin.
