Calanus Oil is a marine-derived oil obtained from the wild marine zooplankton Calanus finmarchicus. Unlike conventional fish oils, Calanus oil consists predominantly of wax esters and naturally contains marine fatty acids including EPA, DHA and stearidonic acid (SDA), together with naturally occurring astaxanthin. The TGA describes Calanus finmarchicus oil as an oil extracted from Calanus finmarchicus and identifies wax esters as its primary component.
MEDIOCON INC supplies Calanus Oil / Jee Ruby Oil as a specialized marine nutritional raw material for qualified nutraceutical and dietary-supplement applications. The material is an oil rather than a single purified chemical compound, so it does not have one molecular formula or molecular weight. Its composition is characterized by wax esters, fatty acids, fatty alcohols and naturally occurring minor constituents.
Calanus oil is particularly distinguished by its naturally occurring wax-ester lipid structure. The TGA compositional guideline specifies wax esters at more than 85%, total fatty acids above 46%, EPA above 3%, DHA above 4%, and total fatty alcohols above 28%. These figures are regulatory/compositional criteria for the referenced Calanus finmarchicus oil and should not automatically be treated as the specification for every commercial grade.
Jee Ruby Oil is a commercial name associated with Calanus Oil. FSSAI records list “Calanus® Oil/Jee Ruby Oil” under application 89/Std/PA/FSSAI/2018, with an approval date of 11 November 2021 in the published approval list. The record identifies the applicant as Guram Neutra Pharma Private Limited; this does not represent MEDIOCON INC's own regulatory approval.
Calanus oil has a naturally ruby/red appearance associated with its astaxanthin content. The TGA specification describes the appearance as ruby, slightly viscous oil and specifies storage under nitrogen, in the dark, below 25°C.
For the TGA-described Calanus finmarchicus oil specification:
For your CMS: use these numerical values only if your actual Jee Ruby/Calanus Oil specification corresponds to this grade. Otherwise, keep the fields as “As per approved product specification.”
Calanus Oil is derived from the marine copepod Calanus finmarchicus. It is therefore different from conventional fish oil and krill oil in its biological source and lipid composition.
The defining characteristic of Calanus oil is its high concentration of wax esters. Codex discussions describe Calanus oil as being derived from Calanus finmarchicus and consisting mainly of wax esters.
The oil naturally contains EPA and DHA, along with stearidonic acid (SDA). The exact concentration depends on the commercial grade and should be confirmed through the applicable COA.
Calanus oil naturally contains astaxanthin, which contributes to its characteristic ruby coloration. The referenced TGA specification provides an astaxanthin range of 600–2600 mg/kg.
