Omega-3 EPA/DHA
in difficult applications

Chet Rao, Ph.D.
Marketing Manager- Functional and
Nutritional Products
Hormel Foods Corporation
Not all omega-3s are the same. Incorporating the correct
omega-3 in food products allow food marketers to
strategically use Omega-3’s healthy halo in their
marketing campaigns. Omega-3 EPA/DHA fortified food
products have shown significant growth in recent years.
However, the market penetration in key categories such
as functional beverages, low fat and shelf stable
applications is limited because of lack of appropriate
delivery systems. Irrespective of the source of Omega-3
EPA/DHA, the nature of long chain polyunsaturation,
makes EPA/DHA susceptible to oxidation by light, oxygen,
and cations. The oxidation is especially pronounced when
products undergo thermal processing and are stored at
ambient temperatures. Recent advances in oil processing
and delivery systems make “difficult applications”
possible for omega-3 EPA/DHA. Hormel’s ETERNA™
OMEGASOURCE™ line of ingredients provide formulators
with one stop solution for their value added omega-3
EPA/DHA needs. All ingredients are allergen free, GMO
free, GRAS and Kosher. The ingredients are available in
oil or value added emulsion form. Emulsions are cold
water soluble and do not require additional thickening
agents.
