Abstract
The invention relates to the processing of substances that are not soluble, or soluble with difficulty, in water, in such a manner that, introduced into water or oil, these substances can yield a clear solution and can be easily integrated with finest homogeneous distribution into foodstuff, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and nutrient solutions. To achieve that, the invention provides a concentrate, consisting of an active substance from the group, which includes an algae oil, an essential oil, a terpene, phosphatidylserine, an ω 3 fatty acid, lanolin, a linoleic acid triglyceride, citral or tea tree oil, and a surplus amount of a polysorbate with at least two and half times the weight of the active substance.
Claims16
A concentrate consisting of:
- an algae oil containing an ω-3 fatty acid, and
- a surplus amount of polysorbate, wherein the ratio of ω-3 fatty acid to polysorbate is no greater than 2:5 by weight,
- wherein the ω-3 fatty acids are micelled such that the individual micelles have a size not greater than about 40 nm, and wherein the concentrate is clear.
A concentrate consisting of:
- an animal fat containing an ω-3 fatty acid, and
- a surplus amount of polysorbate 80,
- wherein the ω-3 fatty acids are micelled such that the individual micelles have a size not greater than about 40 nm, and wherein the concentrate is clear,
- and further wherein the concentrate consists of 21% by weight of an animal fat containing ω-3 fatty acid and 79% by weight of polysorbate 80.
A concentrate consisting of:
- an algae oil containing a mixture of ω-3 fatty acids, and
- a surplus amount of polysorbate, wherein the ratio of ω-3 fatty acid to polysorbate is no greater than 2:5 by weight,
