Abstract
The present invention is directed to water-in-oil and oil-in-water emulsions containing fish oil which are stabilized by enzyme systems which prevents or retards against the deleterious formation of malodorous alcohols and aldehydes thereby eliminating the undesired odor and off-flavor associated with the formation of these organic products. The enzyme system contemplated by the present invention include compositions of (a) aldehyde dehydrogenase plus alcohol dehydrogenase plus nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD); (b) aldehyde oxidase plus alcohol oxidase plus catalase; and (c) xanthine oxidase plus alcohol oxidase plus catalase.
Claims11
A food product comprising a water-in-oil or an oil-in-water emulsion having an oil phase and a water or milk phase wherein said oil phase comprises fish oil and said water or milk phase of said emulsion comprises a stabilizer of
- (a) aldehyde dehydrogenase plus alcohol dehydrogenase plus nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,
- (b) aldehyde oxidase plus alcohol oxidase plus catalase, or
- (c) xanthine oxidase plus alcohol oxidase plus catalase,
- wherein said stabilizer is present in such amounts as to prevent or retard the formation of malodorous alcohols and/or aldehydes in such fish oils during the shelf life of said emulsion.
