The Scoular Company has announced plans to release a new functional ingredient known as Romega. The Ingredient, released in collaboration with Arctic Nutrition of Norway, is a DHA-rich, phospholipid-based omega-3 oil made from herring caviar. Additional products are made from the rest of the fish.
The herring caviar used to make the ingredient is sourced from MSC-ceritifed fisheries in the Norwegian Sea. Romega is billed as providing a potent amount of omega-3 in phospholipid form.
Hogne Hallaraker, CEO of Arctic Nutrition, said: “The herring caviar’s omega-3 has a 3:1 ratio of DHA to EPA, making it nutritionally favorable for brain, eye, and skin health applications. The emulsifying characteristic of the omega-3 phospholipids enhances oxidative stability and ease of incorporation into food and beverage applications.”
“Scoular is pleased to be working closely with Arctic Nutrition and the U.S. nutritional industry to make this promising new ingredient available,” said Anne Brown, Senior Manager of Scoular’s Food Ingredients Group.
