1. A liquid emulsion concentrate composition, comprising:
an emulsion stabilizer that is a fatty acid-modified carbohydrate-based macromolecule in an amount between more than 1% and up to 5%, by weight, of the concentrate composition; one or more surfactants, in addition to the emulsion stabilizer, wherein each of the one or more surfactants is selected from among a sucrose fatty acid ester, a PEG-derivative of Vitamin E, a polysorbate and a polysorbate analog, wherein:
each of the one or more surfactants is present in an amount between 3% and 16%, by weight, of the concentrate composition; andwhen two or more surfactants are present, the total amount of surfactants, excluding the fatty acid-modified carbohydrate-based macromolecule, is between 16% and 30%, by weight, of the concentrate composition; a polar solvent in an amount between 40% and 60%, by weight, of the concentrate composition; and one or more non-polar compounds that comprise non-polar active ingredients selected from among polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 fatty acids, omega-9 fatty acids, conjugated fatty acids, coenzyme Q-containing active ingredients, alpha lipoic acid, carotenoid-containing active ingredients and phytochemicals, wherein the one or more non-polar compounds is/are present in a total amount between 35% and 50%, inclusive, by weight, of the concentrate composition. |
