Valensa International introduces Tresalbio, a new botanical extract that will allow the producers of nutraceuticals, functional foods and other health-promoting products to deliver premium quality, high functional-density omega-3 fatty acids to consumers. This extract of the Salvia hispanica seed (also known as “chia” seed) delivers one of the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids found in nature, and Valensa’s CO₂ extraction process ensures product stability and longer shelf life, while reducing the incidence of rancification, improving the taste and odor of the Omega-3 delivering ingredient. Salvia is an ancient food; one of the original foods of the New World. A highly prized staple of the Aztec diet, chia (from chian, meaning “oily”) was prized by the ancient civilization’s warriors. Tresalbio also contains natural antioxidants, such as caffeic acid and tocopherols.
