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.
