Successful Development of Stabilized DHA and EPA and Launch of Proposals

「For the stabilized DHA oil-based ingredient, the company advanced the acquisition of scientific evidence through, among other measures, the acceptance of a research paper on continued consumption of DHA-fortified milk beverages, and took steps toward resubmitting a notification for a functional claim.」

「In the nutrition and health field, the company is advancing the market introduction of DHA and EPA oil ingredients and flaxseed oil ingredients using technology that suppresses flavor deterioration. The DHA and EPA oil ingredient was newly adopted in health-oriented chocolate compliant with the Foods with Function Claims system.」

「A stabilized DHA and EPA ingredient using the company’s technology to suppress flavor deterioration was newly adopted in cheese for children.」

「In addition to dairy-related applications, the stabilized DHA and EPA oil-based ingredient, which suppresses the development of off-flavors, has newly achieved adoption in liquid concentrated enteral nutrition and pour-over oils for direct consumption. In addition, based on a research paper demonstrating the efficacy of DHA ingredients for cognitive function, notification was accepted for “Oboetoku DHA,” a Food with Function Claims for brain function, by the group company オーム乳業株式会社.」

「The stabilized DHA and EPA oil-based ingredient, which suppresses the development of off-flavors, has achieved adoption in commercially available processed cheese and milk beverages.」

「New materials such as stabilized DHA and EPA, which were being pursued under the development of high-value-added functional product lines, have not progressed as initially expected, and their market rollout has been delayed.」

「As part of its response to the Foods with Function Claims system, the company’s third notification, for “Peptide Mente Chewable,” was accepted.」

「As part of its response to the Foods with Function Claims system, the company’s second notification, for “Peptide Mente,” was accepted.」

「Using a new technology that finely disperses poorly soluble antioxidant components in oil, the company successfully developed stabilized DHA and EPA that suppress oxidation and the development of fishy odors, and began proposing it as a product that can be used across a broad range of food categories previously unavailable for such applications.」
