Safflower Oil Powder is a microencapsulated powder ingredient derived from the oil of Carthamus tinctorius seeds. Safflower oil is one of the richest sources of linoleic acid (omega-6 CLA precursor) among commercially available plant oils, and specific varieties are also high in oleic acid (omega-9). The microencapsulated powder format provides oxidative stability and ease of incorporation into dry formulations, making it a versatile ingredient for food, nutraceutical, and sports nutrition applications.
High-linoleic safflower oil is increasingly used in weight management and body composition formulations, where its relationship to CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) metabolism is leveraged for fat-loss and lean mass support benefits.
Applications:
- Sports Nutrition (body composition, lean mass support, fat metabolism blends)
- Nutraceuticals (essential fatty acid supplements, omega-6 formulations)
- Functional Foods (fatty acid-enriched health bars, meal replacements)
- Cosmeceuticals (skin barrier support, moisturising topical formulations)
Key Features & Benefits:
- Rich source of linoleic acid (omega-6) from microencapsulated powder
- Microencapsulated for oxidative stability in dry formulations
- Supports body composition and essential fatty acid nutrition
- Halal-certified & food-grade quality
- Suitable for capsule, softgel, powder, and food fortification applications
