Food Enrichment With Omega-3 Fatty Acids - 9780857094285

Omega-3 fatty acids are thought to provide many health benefits, from reducing cardiovascular disease to improving mental health, resulting in increased consumer interest in foods enriched with these fatty acids. Formulating a product enriched with these fatty acids that is stable and has an acceptable flavor is challenging. This book aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of current research on the entire chain, from production and refining of omega-3 oils to their applications in different foods, including the possible health benefits. Expert contributors have written chapters reviewing sources of omega 3 fatty acids, the stabilization of both fish oil and foods enriched with omega 3 fatty acids, and the fortification of different types of foods and beverages with omega 3 fatty acids, such as genetically modified plants and marine sources. The conclusion covers new sources of omega 3 fatty acids.
