Quality from culture to release

Quality built into every production step.

Controlled cultivation, route-specific processing and batch-level evidence support Dunaliella ingredient qualification for global programs.

Low-arsenic powder

Control starts in the cultivation system.

HETCHYN's enclosed glass-greenhouse raceways reduce exposure to open-air contamination and support tighter control of water, salinity, nutrients and the culture environment. That upstream control matters for whole-algae powder, where the complete biomass becomes the ingredient.

  • Monitored water, salinity, nutrients and circulation
  • Product-code-specific specification and batch COA

Solvent-free extraction option

Supercritical CO₂ leaves no residual extraction solvent.

This route uses carbon dioxide instead of an organic extraction solvent and reduces thermal stress on sensitive carotenoid isomers. It is available for standard and custom oil grades.

Select a DS-SE grade when solvent-free extraction is a qualification priority. Final potency, carrier and specification are confirmed by product code.

Batch release

Four connected views of ingredient quality.

The selected product specification defines the applicable tests, methods and acceptance limits. The COA records the result for the supplied batch.

01 / Identity

Confirm the ingredient

Identity, colour, odour and physical characteristics establish the first release layer.

02 / Potency

Measure carotenoid potency

Validated HPLC-DAD testing supports beta-carotene content and, where applicable, isomer-profile review.

03 / Heavy metals

Control the relevant metals

The applicable specification defines limits for arsenic and other metals, with results recorded by batch.

04 / Microbiology

Verify microbiological limits

Total plate count, mould and yeast, coliforms and specified pathogens are checked as required by grade.

Certifications & compliance

Current credentials, shown with their scope in mind.

Watermarked previews provide a clear view of the current credential set. Certification scope and product applicability vary, so qualification copies are confirmed for the selected grade.

Additional public credentials

These statuses complement the watermarked previews above. Sales confirms current scope and applicability during qualification.

  • SC certification
  • cGMP
  • FDA
  • Green Factory

Self-affirmed GRAS applies to Dunaliella salina powder. It should not be read as final FDA GRAS completion or as applying automatically to every product format.

Controlled documents
