OIL-IN-WATER EMULSIONS COMPRISING A POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACID AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to stable oil-in-water emulsions comprising a polyunsaturated fatty acid, an emulsifier, water, a metal chelating agent, and an antioxidant, and processes for preparing the stable oil-in-water emulsions. The stable oil-in-water emulsions are substantially free from coalescence, flocculation, Ostwald ripening, and creaming, for a period of at least five months at a temperature of about 4° C.

主权项

1. An oil-in-water emulsion comprising:
a) an oil containing a polyunsaturated fatty acid; b) an emulsifier; c) water; d) a metal chelating agent; and e) an antioxidant;wherein the metal chelating agent is present in an amount from about 3% to about 20% by weight of the emulsion and wherein the antioxidant is present in an amount from about 2% to about 20% by weight of the emulsion.
