Why Do Oils Turn Into Powder, Such as Astaxanthin, Mct, Cla, Coconut Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Saw Palmetto Oil, Borage Oil, and Maple Seed Oil?

  Astaxanthin Oil

The answer is to expand the application. As we all know, oil and powder exist in different forms. It is not feasible to directly consume oil or use oil to fill capsules, compress tablets, or make beverages.

1. Directly drinking oil, the swallowing experience is poor:

The taste and poor fluidity of the oil itself will always stick to the throat. You can imagine the nauseating feeling of drinking a mouthful of oil directly.

                                                                                                                                                                      Swallowing Experience

2. The production process of tablets and capsules is not allowed:

Tablets and capsules require raw materials to be powdered, and there are requirements for powder fluidity and bulk density. The powder fluidity is good and the bulk density is large, which is conducive to production.

 Tablets and Capsules

3. The shelf life of solid beverages and liquid beverages is not allowed, and the stability of most products does not allow direct use of oil:

Oil itself is not miscible with water, forming oil-water stratification. The stability of beverages directly using oil is unqualified. In addition, if oil is used directly, the shelf life of beverages is very short, which is a fatal limitation for beverages.

Beverages

4. Improve the stability of the ingredients in the oil:

Oil often contains easily oxidized ingredients such as astaxanthin and linoleic acid. Long-term contact with air can easily cause the loss of effective ingredients.

5. Extend the shelf life of oil:

Similar to improving the stability of the ingredients in the oil, after the oil is embedded in the nano-microcapsules, the oil exposed to the air is less than 2%, which can effectively extend the shelf life of the oil.

6. Increase added value：

Due to the expansion of applications, the product application is more convenient and the product is more stable. For example, the added value of astaxanthin powder is much higher than that of astaxanthin oil, which is an important bargaining chip for brand winning.

Therefore, the transformation of oil into powder is the result of market demand. It not only increases the added value of the product itself, but also makes the product more diversified, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
