LycoRed Launches Vegetarian Omega-3
LycoRed launched Lyc-O-Mega 10 AL, a new vegetarian Omega-3.  This ingredient is free from fish odor, and produced from the high quality DHA algae oil, making it especially suitable for vegetarians.LycoRed 's Lyc-O-mega 10AL is designed especially for the bakery and confectionary industries. Trials have been conducted successfully in chocolates, crackers and bread that were fortified with Lyc-O-Mega 10AL. The chocolate tablet (5g), for example, contains 5mg of DHA, which is 1/3 of the recommended daily consumption, without affecting its taste profile. LycoRed's microencapsulation technology enables fortification of baked goods which traditionally could be fortified with Omega-3. This vegetarian form of Omega-3, unlike fish oil, has the advantage of being both sustainable and suitable for vegetarians and also for children who are more sensitive to taste.
