Omega-3 Delivery Systems: Production, Physical Characterization and Oxidative Stability offers the most recent updates for developing, characterizing, and stabilizing both traditional and novel omega-3 delivery systems, including their final incorporation into food matrices and physicochemical changes during digestion. The book brings chapters on novel omega-3 delivery systems (e.g., high-fat emulsions, Pickering emulsions, electrosprayed capsules, and solid lipid nanoparticles), the application of advanced techniques to evaluate physical and oxidative stabilities (e.g., SAXS, SANS, ESR, and super-resolution fluorescence microscopy), and new developments of food enrichment and physicochemical changes during digestion. The book provides a unique multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach, i.e., featuring authors from industry and academy.

Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present numerous health benefits; however, the consumption of natural products rich in omega-3 PUFA (e.g., fish, krill, and algae) is not enough to reach the daily-recommended values. Therefore, the food industry is highly interested in producing omega-3 fortified foods.

Brings a holistic approach of omega-3 delivery systems, bringing scientific understanding on production, physical characterization, and oxidative stability Covers key aspects to develop, characterize, and use omega-3 delivery systems for food enrichment, considering physicochemical changes occurring during digestion Serves as an interface between lipid oxidation and colloids chemistry, encapsulation techniques, soft matter physics, food development, and nutrients bioavailability

Bioactives from Aquatic Side Streams: Innovative Extraction Procedures and Applications examines the untapped potential of aquatic resources and byproducts as a rich source of bioactive compounds, including proteins and peptides, omega-3 fatty acids, phenolic compounds, pigments, vitamins, and minerals. With a focus on sustainable practices, this book explores the identification, extraction, characterization, and application of these bioactive compounds across various industries. Early chapters characterize the bioactivity of key compounds, describe the aquatic side streams available for sourcing these compounds, and provide a high-level overview of their extraction techniques.Central chapters focus on these processes for specific bioactive compounds, including hydrolysates, peptides, omega-3 oil, phospholipids, collagen, gelatin, chitin, chitosan, minerals, pigments, and more. Concluding chapters explore emerging techniques, market hurdles and possible solutions, and regulatory considerations for the sustainable sourcing of bioactive compounds from aquatic side streams. By equipping readers with the knowledge to develop new products that enhance existing ones, this book promotes the innovative use of aquatic byproducts for a more sustainable future.Describes the diversity and characterization of bioactive compounds sourced from aquatic side streamsIdentifies the diverse applications of aquatic bioactives in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmeticsConsiders market and regulatory hurdles and poses potential solutions

Omega-3 fatty acids provide many health benefits, from reducing cardiovascular disease to improving mental health, and consumer interest in foods enriched with omega-3 fatty acids is increasing. Formulating a product enriched with these fatty acids that is stable and has an acceptable flavour is challenging. Food enrichment with omega-3 fatty acids provides an overview of key topics in this area.Part one, an introductory section, reviews sources of omega-3 fatty acids and their health benefits. Chapters in part two explore the stabilisation of both fish oil itself and foods enriched with omega-3 fatty acids. Part three focuses on the fortification of different types of foods and beverages with omega-3 fatty acids, including meat products, by the modification of animal diets and other methods, infant formula and baked goods. Finally, part four highlights new directions in the field and discusses algal oil as a source of omega-3 fatty acids and labelling and claims in foods containing omega-3 fatty acids.Food enrichment with omega-3 fatty acids is a standard reference for professionals in the functional foods industry involved with research, development and quality assessment and for researchers in academia interested in food lipids, oxidation and functional foods.Provides a comprehensive overview of formulating a product enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that is stable, provides many health benefits and has an acceptable flavourReviews sources of omega-3 fatty acids and their health benefits and explores the stabilisation of fish oil and foods enriched with omega-3 fatty acidsFocuses on the fortification of different types of foods and beverages with omega-3 fatty acids and highlights new directions in the field
