Bioactive marine extract palatants: NaturaRecent Research Landscape

Heavy metal contamination and poor nutrient bioavailability in marine-derived ingredients create significant waste and safety risks. These innovations utilize molecular encapsulation and chelation to isolate contaminants while stabilizing bioactive compounds for functional pet nutrition.

What technical problems is Natura addressing in Bioactive marine extract palatants?

Low animal feed intake

(59)evidences

Nutraceutical compounds and marine extracts often possess inherent bitterness or off-flavors that cause animal rejection. Overcoming sensory aversion ensures consistent intake of therapeutic doses.

Pigment thermal and oxidative instability

(5)evidences

Bioactive compounds like astaxanthin and anthocyanins lose functional efficacy due to environmental instability. Preventing chemical breakdown ensures long-term potency and shelf-life.
