Oil bodies and method of producing such oil bodies

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for obtaining oil bodies, said oil bodies having a volume weighted mean diameter within the range of 0.1-100 µm and comprising a lipid matrix surrounded by a layer of phospholipids embedded with structural proteins, wherein the lipid matrix contains at least 80 wt.% of glycerides, said glycerides containing at least 3 % É-3 C 20 -C 24 polyunsaturated fatty acid residues (É-3 LC PUFA) by weight of the total amount of fatty acid residues contained in said glycerides. The invention further relates to oil bodies obtainable by the process of the invention and to compositions comprising at least 0.1 wt.% of these oil bodies.
