Executive Summary
Martek is launching a new powdered form of the omega-3 fatty DHA acid for use in food and beverage products, the firm announces March 20. The company's vegetarian form of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) powder contains higher amounts of DHA than fish oil powders, "leading to easier food formulation because less powder is needed to achieve desired DHA levels," the Columbia, Md.-based firm states. The new algae-derived DHA powder is available in 10% and 17% DHA concentrations. The introduction of DHA as a food and beverage ingredient follows the business plan outlined by the firm in January, allowing Martek to expand the DHA market beyond infants and effectively make DHA a "lifetime product" (1"The Tan Sheet" Jan. 16, 2006, p. 12)...
