Corbion launches AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3, addressing the demand for sustainable active
nutrition in the pet food industry
AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3 offers pet food manufacturers higher levels of DHA while
reducing dependency on scarce traditional omega-3 sources.
Corbion (https://www.corbion.com/), the global market leader in algae-based feed
ingredients, announced today the launch of its new AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3, a high-
performance omega-3 ingredient enabling pet food manufacturers to enhance the
nutritional profile of their products and boost DHA levels reducing dependency
on marine-based resources and positively impacting their carbon footprint.
Produced via microalgae precision fermentation, AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3 helps meet
increasing consumer demand for more sustainable pet food ingredients, as nearly
70% of pet owners (https://www.euromonitor.com/article/sustainable-ingredients-
in-pet-care) worldwide express concern about nutrition, climate change and a
desire to make a positive impact on the environment through their everyday
actions.
The ingredient supports manufacturers in their efforts to overcome the most
common challenges of omega-3 DHA inclusion, as 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. In addition,
it is stabilized with a natural antioxidant system. AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3 is
suitable for dry, wet, and injection-mold applications, allowing efficient
access to, and use of, long-chain omega-3s.
"The launch of AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3 furthers Corbion's mission to preserve what
matters by offering sustainable ingredients for healthier people, pets, and the
planet," said Tim Rutten, Vice President at Corbion Algae Ingredients. "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."
AlgaPrime(TM) DHA P3 is sustainably produced in closed fermentation tanks where
cane sugars are transformed into omega-3-rich algae powered by a renewable
energy source. The unique production process and innovation opens new
opportunities for DHA health benefits, sustainability, and vegan claims while
delivering stability and palatability.
