Quality Review
Quality Parameters for Fish Oil Selection
Fish oil quality is defined by fatty acid composition, oxidation control, contaminant limits, physical characteristics and microbiological quality.
EPA, DHA and total omega-3 acids are reported in both percentage and mg/g formats.
Acid value, p-anisidine value, peroxide value and TOTOX provide complementary oxidation and chemical-quality measures.
The specification includes limits for lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, pesticides, PCBs and dioxins.
Aerobic count, yeast and mould, Salmonella, coliform and Staphylococcus aureus are reported.
Appearance, flavour, odour and colour are part of the physical quality specification.
The listed tests use pharmacopoeial, ISO, GC and AFS/AA methods.
Formulation Use
Fish Oil Applications
Liquid triglyceride fish oil is used in a range of omega-3 formulation formats.
Softgel Formulations
