Novel omega 3 emulsion technologies

Omega 3 and omega 6 class of fats are the two essential fatty acid classes which cannot be synthesized by the body and must be supplied in the diet. The shorter chain omega 3 alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) predominantly is found in land based sources whereas the longer chain omega 3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) are found in high amounts in fatty fish such as salmon, sardine, mackerel and anchovy.
