Abstract
An emulsion is provided including: an oil component and a water component, the oil component including: fish oil triglycerides in an amount of about 60% to about 90% based on the weight of the oil component; wherein the fish oil triglycerides include omega-3 fatty acids, expressed as triglycerides, in an amount of at least 60%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides; wherein the fish oil triglycerides include a total amount of EPA and DHA, expressed as triglycerides, of at least 45%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides; and, at least one medium-chain triglyceride, wherein a total amount of the at least one medium-chain triglyceride is from about 10% to about 40% based on the weight of the oil component.
Claims19
An emulsion comprising:
- an oil component and a water component, wherein the amount of the oil component in the emulsion is 5 to 30 g/100 mL, the oil component comprising:
- fish oil triglycerides in an amount of about 60% to about 90% based on the weight of the oil component;
- wherein the fish oil triglycerides comprise omega-3 fatty acids, expressed as triglycerides, in an amount of at least 60%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides;
- wherein the fish oil triglycerides comprise a total amount of EPA and DHA, expressed as triglycerides, of at least 45%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides;
- and,
- at least one medium-chain triglyceride oil, wherein a total amount of the at least one medium-chain triglyceride oil is from about 10% to about 40% based on the weight of the oil component,
- wherein the emulsion comprises an egg phospholipid present in a weight ratio of egg phospholipid to triglycerides ranging from 0.05 to 0.07.
An emulsion comprising:
- an oil component and a water component, wherein the amount of the oil component in the emulsion is 5 to 30 g/100 mL, the oil component comprising:
- fish oil triglycerides in an amount of about 31% to about 90% based on the weight of the oil component;
- wherein the fish oil triglycerides comprise omega-3 fatty acids, expressed as triglycerides, in an amount of at least 60%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides;
- wherein the fish oil triglycerides comprise a total amount of EPA and DHA, expressed as triglycerides, of at least 45%, based on the total weight of the fatty acids of the fish oil triglycerides;
- and,
- at least one medium-chain triglyceride oil, wherein a total amount of the at least one medium-chain triglyceride oil is from about 10% to about 69% based on the weight of the oil component,
- wherein the emulsion comprises an egg phospholipid present in a weight ratio of egg phospholipid to triglycerides ranging from 0.05 to 0.07.
