Ingredient platform definition

What does HETCHYN supply?

HETCHYN supplies Carovive® Dunaliella salina ingredients to B2B product teams. HETCHYN is the world's only producer with commercial-scale production capability for high-9-cis beta-carotene Dunaliella ingredients. The portfolio converts naturally carotenoid-rich algae grown in controlled glass-greenhouse raceways into three ingredient formats: additive-free, oil-soluble whole-algae powder; concentrated natural beta-carotene oil; and water-dispersible microencapsulated powder. The right starting format depends on the finished-product system, target potency, route and market requirements.

Format selection FAQ

Start with the questions that determine an ingredient format.

A buyer does not need to know the exact product code at first contact. The dosage form, target potency and market are enough to begin a useful comparison.

01What is a Dunaliella salina ingredient?

It is an ingredient produced from Dunaliella salina, a naturally carotenoid-rich microalga. HETCHYN supplies whole-algae powder, concentrated natural beta-carotene oil and microencapsulated powder for different formulation systems.

02Which format should I evaluate first?

Use whole-algae powder for additive-free oil-soluble powder applications, oil for softgels and oil phases, and microencapsulated powder when water dispersibility is important. Potency, route, carrier and market requirements then narrow the product code.

03Is the powder the same as the microencapsulated powder?

No. Whole-algae powder is oil-soluble and contains no added encapsulation carrier. Microencapsulated powder begins with an oil ingredient and adds a carrier system to improve dispersibility and fit water-related applications.

04Are all product codes interchangeable?

No. Codes differ by format, potency, production route, carrier oil or microencapsulation system. Samples and current documents should always be matched to the exact code under review.

05What should I send to request a recommendation?

Share the dosage form, target natural beta-carotene potency, destination market, expected quantity, timing and any route, carrier or label constraints. HETCHYN can then recommend a starting grade and supporting document set.
