What is black seed oil powder?
Black seed (Nigella sativa) is a flowering plant whose small black seeds have a long culinary and traditional history across the Middle East, South Asia and the Malay world, where the oil is widely known as minyak habbatus sauda. The seed oil carries a distinctive aroma and its characteristic constituent is thymoquinone.
Bionutricia's black seed oil powder converts that oil into a stable, water-soluble powder. For a formulator this is the whole point: a neat seed oil is difficult to dose accurately, prone to oxidation and awkward to blend into dry systems, whereas the powder is easy to weigh, disperses in water, and blends cleanly into premixes, sachets and beverage bases — while retaining the seed oil's characteristic profile.
What is it used for in formulation?
It is supplied as a bulk raw ingredient across several categories: supplement powders and sachets (powder, liquid and gel); functional beverages and instant drink premixes; and functional foods where it contributes both a phyto-nutrient component and a characteristic flavour. Black seed has centuries of traditional and culinary use in Malay, Middle Eastern and South Asian food cultures, which makes it a natural fit for brands building products for Malaysia, the GCC and wider Muslim-majority markets — where habbatus sauda is an immediately recognised name. It is typically dosed at 2–8%, adjusted to the target format.
