Abstract
There is provided a vegetable-based lipid composition comprising high levels of at least three different long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (typically as fatty acid esters). The compositions typically contain DHA as the principal long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid. The composition is obtainable from a single source by conventional processing methods. and has improved stability properties.
Claims18
A vegetable-based lipid composition comprising:
- (i) a first polyunsaturated fatty acid in an amount of from about 50% to about 85% by weight of the total fatty acid content of the composition;
- wherein the first polyunsaturated fatty acid has at least five unsaturations in its carbon chain, has at least 20 carbon atoms in its carbon chain, or is selected from the group consisting of docosahexaeneoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA);
- (ii) α-linolenic acid (ALA) in an amount of from about 10% to about 90% by weight of the first polyunsaturated fatty acid;
- and
- (iii) a third polyunsaturated fatty acid in an amount of from about 10% to about 70% by weight of the ALA;
- wherein the total amount of all other fatty acids in the composition is up to about 20% by weight of the total fatty acid content of the composition, and wherein each of the ALA, the first and the third polyunsaturated fatty acids is 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.
