Novel enzymatic processing methods and stabilization technologies for omega-3 oils. New and existing lipases will be applied to the concentration of omega-3 lipids from fish and algal oils. The primary aim of this project is to replace current chemical processes and high temperature distillation with milder enzymatic methods, providing high quality omega-3 concentrates for food and pharmaceutical purposes. The project aims to develop new immobilisation technology to enable multiple re-use of lip ....Novel enzymatic processing methods and stabilization technologies for omega-3 oils. New and existing lipases will be applied to the concentration of omega-3 lipids from fish and algal oils. The primary aim of this project is to replace current chemical processes and high temperature distillation with milder enzymatic methods, providing high quality omega-3 concentrates for food and pharmaceutical purposes. The project aims to develop new immobilisation technology to enable multiple re-use of lipases for the cost effective production of omega-3 concentrates and to apply new microencapsulation strategies to the stabilisation of omega-3 concentrates, enabling the delivery of omega-3s and other bioactive ingredients to a range of food and beverage products.Read moreRead less
