BEER SHEVA, Israel—LycoRed introduced Lyc-O-Mega 10 AL, a vegetarian omega-3 ingredient designed for bakery and confectionary purposes. It is produced from high-quality docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) algae oil, making it free of fish odor and suitable for vegetarians.
Successful trials have been conducted on chocolates, crackers and bread that were fortified with Lyc-O-Mega 10 AL. For example, a 5-g chocolate tablet contained 5 mg of DHA without affecting its taste profile. LycoRed’s microencapsulation technology enables fortification of baked goods that may not have been traditionally enriched with omega-3. This vegetarian form of omega-3 is sustainable and suitable for vegetarians, and also for children who may be more sensitive to taste.
