Gamal® Algal DHA
Protoga® Biotech is committed to becoming a global leading producer of microalgal omega-3. Gamal® Algal DHA is an omega-3 product focused on animal nutrition, featuring competitive pricing for feed applications, stable supply, green and low-carbon production, and scalability. It serves as a sustainable alternative to fish oil omega-3, supporting healthy human diets. As a feed fish oil alternative, it is free from marine pollution, reduces the need for marine fishing, and has a lower carbon footprint.
The important roles of omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are among the most recognized nutrients, widely studied for their benefits to human cardiovascular health, brain development, and visual health. However, the majority of consumers worldwide do not meet the recommended daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids, with 80% of the global population having insufficient Omega-3 intake.Like humans, omega-3 fatty acids are also crucial for animal nutrition, promoting health during growth, development, and reproduction.
With the growth of the global population, the supply of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) is facing significant challenges.
Although microalgae are the original source of marine omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA), food and feed manufacturers have long relied on fish oil omega-3 fatty acids, incorporating these nutrients into food and feed products. However, the continued use of fish oil omega-3 fatty acids is placing increasing pressure on the reproduction of wild fish and overburdening marine resources.
To address this increasingly severe issue, Protoga® Biotech produces Omega-3 fatty acid DHA by fermenting marine microalgae using sustainable raw materials and extracting it through physical methods (non-solvent extraction). This is an efficient, clean, and sustainable source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Gamal® Algal DHA is a high-quality, high-content vegan source of Omega-3 (DHA), which is a key component in animal feed. Through Gamal® Algal DHA, we help maintain or increase the levels of Omega-3 in healthy diets, reduce the dependence on fish oil in feed, and protect the environment.
The advantages of Gamal® Algal DHA
An affordable alternative to fish oil omega-3 fatty acids in feed—by continuously developing new algal strains with higher omega-3 content and enhancing production efficiency, we are committed to providing innovative omega-3 feed solutions for large feed companies and leading brands.
Large-scale closed fermentation, free from marine pollution—We have designed a closed microalgal fermentation and physical extraction production base with sufficient capacity to ensure increased yields and to promote the rapid growth of microalgal omega-3 in the feed sector over the next decade. The microalgae are grown in closed fermentation tanks, free from the organic pollutants that naturally accumulate in fish oil.
Green, low-carbon, and sustainable—We utilize renewable raw materials for sustainable fermentation production, which reduces the carbon footprint and the consumption of water and land. This approach ensures that our supply meets the requirements of sustainable development.
Sustainable raw material production and stable supply—The raw materials and energy used in our fermentation process for microalgae are sustainably sourced. This ensures a stable supply of our microalgal omega-3 (DHA) ingredients, unaffected by geographical location, season, or climate conditions.
High-content, high-quality microalgal omega-3 (DHA) — The microalgal omega-3 (DHA) we supply is characterized by its high DHA content, which is 2 to 3 times that of fish oil omega-3. This allows feed to contain higher levels of omega-3, providing consumers with essential nutrition, as the retention rate of omega-3 in products such as fish fillets, seafood, and eggs is higher.
