Very low in heavy metals

HEAVY METALS

Golden Omega’s novel patented purification process (Second Generation Stripping Technology)*, combined with the fact that we use only anchovy from the waters of the South Pacific Ocean in our products, allow us to offer Omega-3 concentrates with extremely low levels of heavy metals. Golden Omega’s typical values for heavy metals are orders of magnitude lower than the maximum levels set by the GOED Voluntary Monograph for these heavy metals in these products, as shown in the graph below.

* Patent #US8258330
** Commercial specifications could show different limits for these parameters.

Very low in persistent organic pollutants

PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS

Golden Omega’s novel patented purification process (Second Generation Stripping Technology)*, combined with the fact that we use only anchovy from the waters of the South Pacific Ocean in our products, allow us to offer Omega-3 concentrates with extremely low levels of contaminants and pollutants. Golden Omega’s typical values for these contaminants are significantly lower than the maximum levels set by the GOED Voluntary Monograph or EU directives for these products, as shown in the graph below.

  • Chlorinated paraffins
  • Residual solvents
  • Plasticizers
  • Polybrominated fire retardants
  • Organophosphurus pesticides
  • Bisphenol A
  • Organochlorine Pesticides and Pyrethroides
  • Organotyn compound
  • Total microbial count
  • Escherichia coli
  • Clostridium perfringens
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Lysteria monocytogenes
  • Yeast and molds
  • Bile-tolerant bacteria
  • Nitrosamine
  • Histamine
  • Mycotoxine
  • Radiactivity
  • Elements: Al, B, Cu, Fe, Cr, I, Mn, Ni, P, Sb

Very low in oxidation parameters

OXIDATION PARAMETERS

Golden Omega’s Omega-3 concentrates are extremely low in peroxide value, p-anisidine value and TOTOX, several times below the maximum values set up in the GOED Voluntary Monograph as shown in the following graph. This remarkable performance on this relevant quality aspect is the result of the combination of all our strategical advantages. These include access to high quality crude fish oil due to our strategical location, the careful way the oil is treated along the whole production process, our proprietary developments, state-of-the-art facility and novel patented processes.

* Patent #US8258330
** Commercial specifications could show different limits for these parameters.

In addition to these traditional oxidation parameters, following the need of the industry to have a better understanding of oxidation, Golden Omega, internally and in cooperation with external labs, has been actively working on measuring in our Omega-3 concentrates the volatile secondary oxidation compounds, such as ethylfuran, penten-3-one, penten-3-ol, pentenal, penten-1-ol, hexenal, octenal, nonadienal and decadienal. We have found that the levels of these compounds in Golden Omega’s concentrates are very close to the detection limits for all of them. This is an additional testimony of the high purity of Golden Omega’s Omega-3 concentrates. Please contact us for more details about this subject.

An outstanding sensory profile

SENSORY PROFILE

The sensory profile (taste, smell) is a determinant  factor for the ability to use the Omega-3 concentrates in various delivery applications. Due to the high purity and extremely low levels of oxidative compounds, Golden Omega’s Omega-3 concentrates offer a superior quality in this aspect.

Extremely clear Omega-3 concentrates

A QUALITY AND PURITY YOU CAN SEE

The continuous improvement in the quality and purity of Omega-3 concentrates is Golden Omega’s motivation and a powerful tool for our clients to position their branded Omega-3 products in the very high end of the quality range. Proprietary developments allow Golden Omega to offer the Omega-3 concentrates with an extremely clear appearance.
