Nannochloropsis (Microalgae Extract)

Synonymes : Nannochloropsis, Nannochloropsis Extract, Microalgae Extract, Marine Algae, EPA-rich Algae, Astaxanthin-rich Algae, Nannochloropsis Powder, Nannochloropsis Oil

Nannochloropsis is a genus of unicellular marine microalgae belonging to the class Eustigmatophyceae. It is widely cultivated for its rich content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) , and valuable pigments such as astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, and β-carotene. Nannochloropsis has emerged as one of the most promising sources of sustainable, plant‑based omega‑3 fatty acids and natural pigments.

Spray Dried Nannochloropsis-Powder

Nannochloropsis contains a complex matrix of bioactive compounds, including EPA‑rich polar lipids (phospholipids and glycolipids), which offer superior bioavailability compared to triglyceride‑form EPA. Its unique lipid profile and high protein content make it a valuable ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods, aquaculture, and cosmetic formulations.

The microalgae can be supplied as whole dried biomass, defatted powder, or extracted oil, depending on the target application. It is increasingly used as a sustainable alternative to fish oil for omega‑3 supplementation and as a natural colorant and nutrient source.
