Fenchem to launch selection of branded fatty acids
Apr 17, 2007

Chinese supplier Fenchem is gearing up to launch branded fatty acid ingredients oma-3, omega-3, and liveflax flax lignans for the European market.

According to the company, oma-3 is available in both oil and powder forms of triglycerides or ethyl esters for multiple applications, while liveflax comes in 20 per cent SDG (secoisolariciresinol diglycoside, the primary lignan found in flax seed) and 40 per cent SDG.

The global market for omega-3 fatty acids have been dominated by marine players such as fish oils, which have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, while flaxseed yields the shorter chain, and less bioavailable, fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid).
