Unlike the many other books on omega3 fatty acids, LongChain Omega3 Specialty Oils is not concerned with nutrition but instead is aimed primarily at those people working to develop, manufacture and market longchain omega3 oils and the food, drink and pharmaceutical products containing them. It concentrates on the longchain acids (C20 chain length and above), rather than alphalinolenic acid.Although often thought of as fish oils, these omega3 oils are also available from microbial fermentation and from other marine organisms such as krill. Furthermore, there is increasing interest in the development of higher plants with the ability to synthesise longchain omega3 fatty acids, with the ultimate objective of creating crop plants yielding oils containing EPA and DHA.LongChain Omega3 Specialty Oils starts with an overview of omega3 fatty acids, including a discussion of how they are formed in plants and animals, the physiological and medical effects of omega3 acids, and the importance of chain length. This is followed by chapters discussing the wide variety of fish oil sources, as well as oils from fermentation of singlecell organisms. Separate chapters give information on stateoftheart processing of fish oils, methods for making concentrates of omega3 acids, and enzymatic processing and concentration strategies. The next two chapters cover the stabilization and utilization of omega3 oils for various applications, followed by a chapter dealing with the challenging aspects of analysis of omega3 acids and their decomposition products. The next chapter is dedicated to regulatory issues, and the final chapter gives an uptodate survey of the various markets for longchain omega3 acids.
