  • EMULSION COMPRISING POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
    Publication number: 20150133553
    Abstract: An emulsion contains 50 to 90% by weight of an aqueous phase and 10 to 50% by weight of an oil phase containing 30 to 90% by weight of a diluent oil, and at least 10% by weight of at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid and/or derivative thereof. The emulsion has improved stability and/or organoleptic properties and can be used as a dietary supplement, particularly when packaged in a sachet or ‘stick shot’.
