In the Netherlands, Corbion has launched AlgaPrime DHA P3 to meet demand for sustainable active nutrition in the pet food industry.
Produced via microalgae precision fermentation, AlgaPrime™ DHA P3 offers an alternative to marine sources of omega-3 and has a better carbon footprint. It provides the highest level of DHA on the market in biomass powder form (35% DHA), enabling flexibility for nutritionists and developers in working with higher DHA inclusions for added nutritional value, while advancing the sustainability of pet diets.
AlgaPrime™ DHA P3 is suitable for dry, wet, and injection-mold applications, allowing efficient access to, and use of, long-chain omega-3s.
“We believe this breakthrough ingredient will play an important role in meeting the growing need for better nutrition and more sustainable solutions, while delivering value across the pet industry,” said Tim Rutten, Vice President at Corbion Algae Ingredients.
