Abstract
A composition and method for supplementing food, nutrition, and diet systems with omega-6 to omega-3 balanced oils comprising a synergistic blend of at least two oils. The composition further comprises a synergistic blend of long chain omega-3 oil as a means to further increase the nutritional value. The composition provides an effective increase in therapeutic and pharmacological properties in nutrition and diet systems.
Claims19
A composition for manufacture of a food product, consisting essentially of:
- a. A first oil comprising omega-6 fatty acids in a canned/jarred food product;
- b. A second oil comprising omega-3 fatty acids in the canned/jarred food product;
- and
- c. An antioxidant in the canned/jarred food product;
- wherein the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids by weight to omega-3 fatty acids by weight is from 0.01:1 to 0.65:1;
- the omega-3 fatty acids comprise a short-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (“PUFA”) and a long-chain PUFA, where the short chain has fewer than 20 carbon atoms in an aliphatic tail and the long chain PUFA has greater than 20 carbons in an aliphatic tail, where the ratio of long-chain PUFA by weight to short-chain PUFA by weight is from 1:5 to 1:0.01;
- and the canned/jarred food product contains at least 50 mg of long-chain PUFA per 13 g serving size of the canned/jarred food product.
