ARA 10% Powder

ARA 10% Powder is a microencapsulated arachidonic acid powder produced by fermentation of the non-GMO fungus Mortierella alpina. The refined ARA-rich oil is protected inside a starch-based matrix through emulsification and spray-drying, resulting in a white to pale-yellow, free-flowing powder that disperses readily in cold water to form a stable, homogeneous emulsion. Arachidonic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid found in human breast milk, and it plays a central role in infant brain and visual development. This powder form keeps the sensitive oil protected from oxygen, heat, light and moisture, extending its useful life in dry products such as formula powders. Produced under strict food-grade hygiene with controls designed for infant nutrition, it offers formula and supplement manufacturers a safe, convenient and internationally accepted source of ARA for early-life nutrition. It is packed 15 kg per carton in vacuumed aluminum foil bags and keeps for 24 months unopened, protected from light at room temperature. The powder also blends well with DHA powders for balanced early-life nutrition premixes. In practice it is dry-blended with milk powders and other oils before wet mixing in formula production, and its cold-water dispersion ensures no oily spots in the finished powder. It is typically used together with DHA at balanced ratios. Batch records and test reports are available for every delivery, supporting buyer qualification, regulatory filing and long-term supply relationships. How ARA works: arachidonic acid is a long-chain polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that the human body can synthesize only slowly during infancy, which is why breast milk carries it and why formula standards require its addition. It concentrates in the developing brain and retina, supporting neural and visual maturation in the first year of life. This powder delivers ARA-rich oil from Mortierella alpina fermentation, encapsulated in a starch matrix that protects the sensitive fatty acids from oxygen. Practical guidance: in formula production the powder is dry-blended with milk powder bases before wet mixing, and its cold-water dispersion prevents oily separation during reconstitution; it is typically used together with DHA powder at the ratios recommended by formula regulations; in supplements it fills capsules and sachets; and its pale color and neutral odor keep finished products visually clean. Quality assurance: manufactured under dedicated infant-nutrition hygiene controls with ARA content, peroxide value, surface oil, heavy metals and an extended microbiological panel - including pathogens of concern for infants - tested per batch and documented for regulatory files. Packed in vacuumed aluminum foil bags within cartons and stored below 25 degrees Celsius, the powder keeps for 24 months unopened, providing formula manufacturers with a stable, internationally accepted ARA source. Specification highlights: it is packed in 5kg/bag with a minimum order quantity of 1000kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Compliance and quality at a glance: the product is manufactured under the standards referenced in its specification sheet, and every batch is tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology before release. Batch records, test reports and certificates are kept and supplied for buyer qualification, audit and regulatory filing, and the product is stored and shipped in its original packaging to preserve quality through the supply chain. For industrial buyers, this documented quality system means one qualification covers years of consistent supply, with the specification sheet serving as the contractual reference for every delivery.

Applications

It is a standard ingredient in infant formula and follow-on formula, where it helps replicate the fatty acid profile of breast milk alongside DHA. Children's nutrition powders, growing-up milk and maternal supplements also use it to support early development. Functional food and supplement manufacturers add it to powders and capsules for general brain and eye health, and its cold-water dispersibility suits drinkable formulations and fortified dairy.

Advantages

Because the oil is fully encapsulated in a starch matrix, the powder stays stable and free-flowing through transport and storage without the oxidation risk of bulk oils, and it disperses instantly in water for easy wet blending. Its fermentation origin avoids fish allergens and ocean contaminants, offering a clean, consistent, vegetarian-friendly ARA source. With dedicated infant-grade controls and a 24-month shelf life, it is a dependable choice for premium early-life nutrition brands.
