Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Powder

Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Powder - Premium Food Fortificant Solution

Easy Health Inc. provides pharmaceutical quality Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Powder from controlled fermentation of Mortierella alpina. Our product delivers ARA content of ≥10.0% (customisable from 10% to 40%) and has improved microencapsulation technology to ensure superior oxidation stability with peroxide values of ≤5.0 meq/kg. We have over 11 years of industry experience and can supply a free-flowing white powder suitable for use in infant formula and functional nutrition.

Our ARA solution is microbiological safe with total plate counts ≤1,000 CFU/g, ≤5.0% moisture and ≤1.0 ppm total heavy metals, compliant with global regulatory requirements such as FDA, EU and Codex guidelines for infant nutrition.

What Makes Our ARA Powder Different?

You need a solid source of omega-6 fatty acids that won't oxidise in storage or processing. Our fermentation powder solves three major problems in production.

Starch-based microencapsulation first forms a protective shell around the sensitive fatty acids. It improves shelf life to 24 months while retaining nutritional integrity.

Second, you have consistent particle size distribution with 95% to 40 mesh. This enables your compositions to mix uniformly without clumping or separation.

Third, our non-GMO fungal source removes worries about marine pollutants found in fish-derived alternatives. You are equipped to promote clean label items to health-conscious consumers confidently.

Technical Specifications

Applications Across Nutrition Sectors

Your product development teams can use our powder in a variety of high-value applications. It is used by infant formula manufacturers to mimic the necessary fatty acid profile of breast milk.

Stage 1-3 formulations should be administered at 0.15–0.25% of total fat content. This is important for brain and retinal development in the first years of life.

Sports nutrition companies use it to control inflammation associated with resistance training. Adult supplement forms are generally in the range of 100–500 mg per serving.

Our Arachidonic Acid (ARA) Powder is used by clinical nutritionists in medicinal diets for geriatric populations. It is very water dispersible and is hence a perfect candidate for liquid feeding systems.

Quality Assurance You Can Trust

Every batch is tested rigorously before it leaves our facility. We test fatty acid profiles with Gas Chromatography and find there are no trans fats.

We monitor oxidation by measuring both the peroxide value and the anisidine value. You get certifications of analysis to your specifications.

Heavy metal screening by ICP-MS is much below safety regulation limits. Microbiological testing tests specifically for Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella which are crucial for infant grade components.

We are certified ISO, Halal, Kosher, HACCP and organic. Our FDA-registered facility follows cGMP guidelines in all production.

FAQ

Q: What is the source of this powder?

A: We produce it through controlled fermentation of Mortierella alpina, a non-GMO fungal source. This process ensures freedom from fish and marine contaminants.

Q: What storage conditions do you recommend?

A: Store in a cool, dry place away from light, heat, and oxygen. Nitrogen-flushed packaging is recommended for bulk storage to maximize shelf life.

Q: Why is microencapsulation necessary?

A: Pure fatty acids oxidize rapidly when exposed to air. Our microencapsulation protects the oil core, extends shelf life to 24 months, and improves water dispersibility in your formulations.

Q: Can it be used with DHA in formulations?

A: Yes, ARA and DHA are commonly combined in infant formula at optimal ratios. Typical formulations use ARA:DHA ratios between 1:1 and 2:1 for synergistic developmental benefits.

Q: Is it suitable for vegetarian products?

A: Our fermentation-derived product contains no animal ingredients. However, please verify carrier materials meet your specific allergen and dietary requirements.

Q: Does it have any characteristic taste or odor?

A: High-quality microencapsulation minimizes off-taste and odor in finished products. You may detect a faint characteristic odor in the raw powder.

Q: What is the typical recommended dosage?

A: For infant formula, use 0.15–0.25% of total fat content. Adult supplements typically contain 100–500 mg per day. Always follow local regulatory guidelines for your market.

Q: Can it withstand high-temperature processing?

A: The microencapsulation provides thermal protection. However, we recommend adding the powder during dry blending stages or late in liquid processing to minimize thermal exposure and preserve quality.
