--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nutri Pharmaceuticals Research, Inc. provides a wide range of powdered oils for functional food, food supplement; pharmaceutical; cosmetic; pet food and animal feed applications. The company is one of a select few to be awarded the prestigious Nutrition Business Journal “Product Merit Award” for its patent-pending O2P™ Powderization process. The O2P™ Oil-to-Powder technology is a process that converts most edible oils, gels or pastes into a free-flowing powder without affecting the isomeric structure, fatty acid profile, color, taste or aroma of the base oil. O2P™ does not rely on traditional techniques that utilize extremes in heat or cold, micro-encapsulation or nano technology. This facilitates food marketing and supplement producers’ ability to create functional foods and nutraceuticals by adding anti-oxidants, specific EFAs, or other fatty acids such as EPA, GLA, DHA, and CLA to assist in maintaining specific health issues. The company currently offers more than 50 shelf-stable powders. The company can also apply O2P™ technology to a third-party’s oil, paste or gel through an arrangement called tolling.
