Public health in the western world would benefit from an increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids. The aim of the project is to develop methods for the preparation of food ingredients with high contents of long chain omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to be especially beneficial for health. These fatty acids are normally obtained from fat fish, which unfortunately also contains toxic pollutants, such as dioxins and PCBs. To obtain a diet with sufficient amounts of long chain omega-3 fatty acids, without too high intake of pollutants, there is a need for pollutant-free products. In this project, mild enzymatic processing combined with separation steps (distillation, adsorption, etc.) will be used to process natural fish to products enriched in long chain omega-3 fatty acids and free of pollutants. Fish that normally cannot be eaten, can in this way be converted to highly valuable food ingredients. Due to the mild process conditions, oxidation of the sensitive fatty acids is also avoided, which is important for the quality of the products.
