Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What makes tuna oil powder different from other DHA sources?
Tuna oil naturally provides a high DHA to EPA ratio (≥4.5) that closely matches the fatty acid profile beneficial for infant brain and eye development, making it particularly suitable for early life nutrition products.
2. Why is the DHA:EPA ratio important for infant formula?
A higher DHA to EPA ratio is recommended for infant nutrition as DHA is the primary omega-3 fatty acid accumulated in the brain and retina during early development. Our ratio of ≥4.5 is optimized to support this critical growth period.
3. Is Tuna Oil Powder safe for infants?
Yes, our tuna oil powder is produced under strict quality controls and is specifically designed for infant formula applications. It undergoes rigorous purification to ensure safety and purity for the most sensitive consumers.
4. What is the difference between the 'B' and 'S' series powders?
The 'B' series typically contains dairy-based carriers like sodium caseinate and whey protein, while the 'S' series uses starch-based carriers, making them suitable for different formulation requirements and allergen considerations.
5. Can this powder be used in maternal nutrition products?
Absolutely. Our tuna oil powder is ideal for maternal and breastfeeding nutritional products, providing essential DHA that supports fetal brain development and replenishes maternal DHA stores.
6. How does the powder maintain stability compared to liquid tuna oil?
The microencapsulation process creates a protective barrier around the tuna oil, preventing oxidation and maintaining freshness far longer than liquid oils, without the need for refrigeration.
7. What is the recommended storage condition for the powder?
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use.
8. What is the shelf life of your tuna oil powders?
The typical shelf life is 18-24 months when stored under recommended conditions. Specific shelf life information is provided with each batch.
9. Are your tuna oil powders allergen-free?
The 'S' series powders are free from common allergens like dairy, making them suitable for formulations requiring allergen-free claims. The 'B' series contains dairy-derived ingredients.
10. Can I request custom formulations or concentrations?
Yes, we offer custom formulation services to meet specific application needs. Please contact our technical team to discuss your requirements.
