The invention relates to a microencapsulation process for producing microcapsules containing EPA and DHA fatty acids from anchoveta fish oil, Engraulis ringens, suitable for human consumption, said process comprising: a) treating anchoveta fish oil, Engraulis ringens, so as to produce an oil with an EPA and DHA content of no less than 25%; b) forming a stable aqueous emulsion of the oil produced with a mixture of emulsifiers; and c) drying the emulsion formed, by atomisation and spraying, so as to produce fluid, uniform and stable microcapsules with a small particle size. The microcapsule produced comprises, in weight percent of the total dry composition: between 15 and 60% of anchoveta fish oil, Engraulis ringens, and between 40 and 85% of a mixture of high-absorption emulsifiers which have a high level of resistance to oxidation and a high level of taste protection. |
