Abstract
The present invention is directed to a process for producing a marine oil preparation, in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, with the viscosity of mayonnaise, containing 22 to 90% by weight of cod-liver oil or other marine oils, or concentrates of such oils, where the emulsion is filled into containers made of an air-resistant material and which follows closely the contents during and after dosage so that no air space arises and therefore no oxidation of the preparation occurs. The production process occurs preferably under an inert gas atmosphere.
Claims26
A process for the preparation of a marine oil preparation, comprising
- (a) forming an oil-in-water emulsion comprising at least one marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or mixtures thereof, wherein said marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or mixture thereof comprises a fatty acid consisting essentially of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, in an amount sufficient to provide a mayonnaise-type emulsion or paste, under an inert atmosphere;
- and
- (b) completely filling said oil-in-water emulsion into a container of an airtight material, wherein said container collapses proportionally to the amount of said marine oil preparation remaining after a portion of said marine oil preparation is dispensed, wherein no air space forms in said container after said dispensing, and wherein no discernible oxidation occurs during the storage and use of said marine oil preparation.
A process for the dispensing of a marine oil preparation, comprising:
- (a) forming an oil-in-water emulsion comprising at least one marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or mixtures thereof, wherein said marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or mixture thereof comprises a fatty acid consisting essentially of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, in an amount sufficient to provide a mayonnaise-type emulsion or paste, under an inert atmosphere;
- (b) completely filling said oil-in-water emulsion into a container of an airtight material to obtain said marine oil preparation;
- and
- (c) removing a portion of said marine oil preparation from said container and collapsing said container proportionally to the amount of said marine oil preparation remaining after said portion of said marine oil preparation is removed, wherein no air space forms in said container after said removing, and wherein no discernible oxidation occurs during the storage and use of said marine oil preparation.
A marine oil product comprising a container formed of an airtight material, and inside said container, a marine oil mayonnaise-type emulsion or paste, comprising an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein said oil is a marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or a mixture thereof, wherein said marine oil, marine oil concentrate, or mixture thereof comprises a fatty acid consisting essentially of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and wherein said tube or container is arranged to collapse during use proportionally to the amount of said marine oil mayonnaise-type emulsion or paste remaining after a portion of said marine oil preparation is dispensed from said container, wherein no air space forms in said container after said dispensing, and wherein no discernible oxidation occurs during the storage and use of said marine oil mayonnaise-type emulsion or paste.
