Food composition containing fish oil and a fish oil stabilizing agent

摘要

A food composition containing a food product, fish oil, and a fish oil stabilizing agent. The fish oil is a nonhydrogenated fish oil containing omega-3 long chain fatty acids that has been deodorized and refined for packaging. The stabilizing agent consists of the citrus flavonoid naringin that is derived from the pulp and peel of grapefruit. The stabilizing agent comprises between about 0.003 weight percent of the food composition to about 0.02 weight percent of the food composition. The stabilizing agent protects the fish oil from taste and odor degradation, and allows for long term storage of the food composition containing the fish oil.
