Description

Oils, Salmon CAS NO 68991-43-5 is a natural marine oil derived from the tissues of salmon, prized for its rich profile of long-chain ω-3 fatty acids, primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This high-value ingredient is essential for formulating premium nutraceutical and functional food products aimed at supporting cardiovascular, cognitive, and anti-inflammatory health. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, and advanced pet nutrition industries seeking a sustainable and potent source of essential fatty acids.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: Primary ingredient in softgel capsules, liquid fish oil supplements, and ω-3 concentrates for human health.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Enrichment of foods such as dairy products, spreads, and health drinks with essential fatty acids.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material for the purification and synthesis of high-purity EPA and DHA for prescription-grade applications.
• Pet Nutrition & Aquafeed: Key component in premium pet foods and aquaculture feeds to enhance growth, skin/coat health, and overall vitality.
• Cosmeceuticals: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its moisturizing and anti-aging properties.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or raw material in biochemical and nutritional studies.
