In order to optimize oil stability and flavor, proper handling suggestions for OmegaPure are as follows :
Shelf life for OmegaPure with added TBHQ in its original unopened container is up to one (1) year frozen at -10o F, and up to three (3) months refrigerated at 40?? F.
Once opened, OmegaPure should be used immediately to reduce oxidation.
Nitrogen blanket while handling/adding OmegaPure to help reduce oxidation.
Exposure to heat, light, air, and metals may increase oxidation and the possibility of off notes. Reduce exposure to these conditions.
If possible, add OmegaPure as a blend to your system after any heating/cooling cycles or vortex mixing of your product.
If possible, add OmegaPure late in your production process.
If vortex mixing is required, we recommend doing so under a nitrogen blanket.
Utilize/maximize chelating agents in your formulation when possible.
Avoid additions of unencapsulated vitamin and mineral packages directly to the oil or skim milk powders which may be high in iron or other metals.
When possible, we suggest utilization of opaque packaging for your final product.
OmegaPure works best in food products which are refrigerated or frozen.
