Concentrated cGMP Omega Oils

Low Temperature Fractionation is done in our large-scale Crystallisers
Crystallisation requires constant supervision
Crystals within the oils are filtered off at certain low temperatures
Key processes are automated and run from our control room
Our Ultra range is made through preparative-scale HPLC

Fatty acids are our core expertise. We have a unique two-stage process for the production of fatty acid concentrates that allows us to produce concentrations up to 99% purity in a cost effective way, but does not involve any operations which might damage the cis/trans balance in the fatty acid molecules.


The first stage is the production of an intermediate concentrate by using crystallisation. This process involves using low temperatures to obtain a substantial separation of fatty acids between the solid and liquid phases, allowing us to intensify the oil up to a 70% purity.



Our cGMP Fatty Acid Concentration Hall The second stage of the concentration process uses preparative scale HPLC, which is able to enrich up to 99% purity by adjusting the processing conditions.

We can apply these processes to all the fatty acids on the metabolic pathway.

Another shot of our cGMP Fatty Acid Concentration Hall Our methods are equally well suited to concentrating free fatty acids, or ethyl ester derivatives of fatty acids. We can enrich oils in their original triglyceride form without initially hydrolising the oil, so the natural integrity of the fatty acid remains intact.

There is therefore great flexibility in the range of materials which can be processed, and the degree of concentrations that can be achieved. We can supply the raw materials, or work on customer-supplied material, to tailor the oil to specific needs.
