Nannochloropsis Powder – Marine Microalgae Ingredient
Nannochloropsis Powder is a microalgae-based raw material produced from cultivated Nannochloropsis species.
These microscopic algae are recognized for their naturally occurring proteins, lipids, pigments, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
Nannochloropsis biomass has attracted attention in aquaculture nutrition, microalgae biotechnology, and the development of alternative marine-derived ingredients.
ProMaxBio provides Nannochloropsis Powder for professional raw material sourcing and formulation evaluation.

Key Characteristics
Naturally Occurring Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Certain Nannochloropsis species are studied as sources of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid.
Microalgae-Derived Protein
Nannochloropsis biomass contains protein and amino acids that make it of interest for the development of alternative feed ingredients.
Natural Pigments
The biomass contains naturally occurring pigments associated with microalgae, contributing to its characteristic green coloration.
Marine Microalgae Origin
Nannochloropsis provides an alternative biomass source for research into algae-based ingredients and sustainable aquaculture systems.
Potential Applications
Nannochloropsis Powder may be evaluated for:
- Aquaculture feed formulations
- Microalgae-based feed ingredient development
- Marine ingredient research
- Alternative protein and lipid research
- Microalgae biotechnology applications
Applications in human food, dietary supplements, or cosmetics require separate safety, quality, and regulatory assessment.
Quality Control and Documentation
Professional buyers should confirm the following information:
- Algae species identification
- Certificate of Analysis (COA)
- Protein and lipid content
- EPA and fatty acid profile
- Moisture and particle size
- Microbiological specifications
- Heavy metal and relevant contaminant testing
- Product traceability
Packaging and Storage
Store in tightly closed packaging in a cool, dry environment, protected from moisture, excessive heat, and direct sunlight.
Specific storage conditions and shelf life should be confirmed against the product’s technical documentation.
