Arachidonic Acid Powder (ARA/AA)
Arachidonic Acid Powder (ARA/AA) , available in concentrations of 10% and 20%, is a form of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is commonly derived from high-quality fungal strains (filamentous fungus Mortierella) and produced using microencapsulation technology to prevent oxidation. ARA powder is designed to be rapidly reconstituted in the gastrointestinal tract, and its evenly dispersed small particles are believed to be more easily absorbed compared to clustered oil droplets. Research suggests that powdered ARA can enhance absorption efficiency by up to two times and effectively eliminate the greasy and fishy taste associated with ARA oil droplets, resulting in a pleasant flavor. This powder can be conveniently consumed in combination with milk powder, cereal, and rice porridge, and is particularly suitable for special populations such as pregnant women and children.
ARA powder finds its primary applications in infant formula, health foods, and dietary nutritional supplements, and is commonly used in various healthy food products such as liquid milk, yogurt, and milk-containing beverages.
