ARA Powder is microencapsulated arachidonic acid oil in a free-flowing powder form, designed for easy blending into dry-mix infant formula, nutritional powders and functional foods.We supply bulk ARA Powder sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for food and beverage manufacturers worldwide. Our ARA Powder is widely used in infant formula powder, paediatric nutrition powders, functional food dry mixes, nutritional supplement sachets and beverage premixes.
ARA Powder is produced by microencapsulating fermentation-derived ARA oil with food-grade wall materials (modified starch, maltodextrin, sodium caseinate) via spray drying.
The powder format protects the sensitive PUFA from oxidation, provides extended shelf life and enables easy incorporation into dry-mix formulations.
