Abstract
There is provided a vegetable-based lipid composition comprising very high levels of α-linolenic acid (ALA), together with at least one other long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (typically as fatty acid esters). The composition is obtainable from a single source by conventional processing methods, and has improved stability properties.

A vegetable-based lipid composition comprising:
- (i) α-linolenic acid in an amount of at least 85% by weight of the total fatty acid content of the composition;
- and
- (ii) a second polyunsaturated fatty acid in an amount of at least about 1% by weight of the total fatty acid content of the composition;
- wherein the second polyunsaturated fatty acid is a C:20-24 omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid containing at least four unsaturations, and wherein the α-linolenic acid and the second polyunsaturated fatty acid are independently provided in the form of a fatty acid, a fatty acid salt, a fatty acid ester or a salt of a fatty acid ester.
