CA 2621890

Disclosed are processes for stabilizing omega-3 fatty acids for use in food products. The processes permit creation of a variety of food forms and food ingredients that contain omega-3 fatty acids like docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid wherein these foods and food forms are stable for months without developing fishy aromas or tastes. This stability enables the incorporation of omega-3 fatty acids into food forms such as ready to eat cereals, trail mixes, chips, granola bars, toaster pastries, baked goods, cooldes, crackers, fruit pieces and fruit leathers. The processes utilize a zein coating to protect and stabilize the omega-3 fatty acids.

L'invention concerne des procédés de stabilisation d'acides gras oméga-3 destinés à être utilisés dans des produits alimentaires. Les procédés permettent la création d'une variété de formes alimentaires et d'ingrédients alimentaires qui contiennent des acides gras oméga-3 tels que l'acide docosahexaénoïque et l'acide éicosapentaénoïque, lesdits aliments et formes alimentaires étant stables pendant des mois sans développer d'arômes ou de goûts de poisson. Ladite stabilité permet l'incorporation d'acides gras oméga-3 dans des formes alimentaires tels que des céréales prêtes à consommer, des mélanges montagnards, des croustilles, des barres céréalières, des grillardises, des produits de boulangerie, des biscuits, des craquelins, des morceaux de fruits et des pâtes de fruits déshydratées. Les procédés font appel à un enrobage de zéine pour protéger et stabiliser les acides oméga-3.
