METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A CULTURED EDIBLE PRODUCT COMPRISING OMEGA-3 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS AND IRON

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing cultured edible products containing a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated (omega-3 PUFA) fatty acids, such as fish-oil, and a source of iron which method allows for these products to be easily manufactured and wherein the obtained product does not develop an objectionable off-flavour when stored in a refrigerator for up to several weeks. According to the present invention, it was found that the aforementioned objective can be realised by employing a manufacturing process in which the oil is added after at least iron and some of the other ingredients of the edible product have been pre-blended, pasteurised or sterilised and fermented.
