What is Hemp Seed Oil Micro Capsule Powder?
Hemp Seed Oil Micro Capsule Powder is created by encapsulating high-quality, cold-pressed hemp seed oil within a protective matrix. This advanced technology shields the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly the beneficial Omega-3 and Omega-6, from environmental factors like oxygen, light, and heat, which typically lead to degradation and rancidity in liquid oils. The result is a fine, free-flowing powder that maintains the authentic nutritional profile of Hemp Seed Oil while offering superior stability, ease of handling, and versatile application in dry blends and aqueous systems.
Unlock the full potential of Hemp Seed Oil in a highly stable and convenient dry format with our Hemp Seed Oil Micro Capsule Powder. Utilizing advanced micro-encapsulation technology, we protect the delicate Omega fatty acids of premium hemp seed oil from oxidation, preserving their nutritional integrity and extending shelf life. This innovative powder easily disperses in water, making it an ideal ingredient for a wide array of functional foods, beverages, and dietary supplements where the benefits of Hemp Seed Oil are desired without its liquid limitations.

FAQs
Q: What is the typical oil content in your Hemp Seed Oil Micro-Capsule Powder?
A: We can customize the oil content based on customer needs, typically offering concentrations such as 50%, 60%, or 70% oil by weight. Please specify your requirements when inquiring.
Q: How does micro-encapsulation improve the stability of hemp seed oil?
A: Micro-encapsulation creates a physical barrier around the oil droplets, protecting them from oxygen, light, and heat. This significantly slows down the oxidation process, extending the shelf life and preserving the quality of the delicate Omega fatty acids.
Q: Is the encapsulation material considered clean label?
A: Yes, our encapsulation materials are food-grade and commonly used in the food industry, supporting clean label declarations. Specific details on the carrier ingredients are provided on the product specification sheet.
Q: What is the shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Hemp Seed Oil Micro-Capsule Powder typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be detailed with your order documentation.
Q: Can this powder be used in hot beverages or products requiring heating?
A: The micro-encapsulation provides significant protection against heat. While it performs well in many heated applications (e.g., instant hot beverages, baked goods), stability can vary based on specific temperature, duration, and pH. We recommend testing in your specific product matrix.
