Bioavailability of n–3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) in Foods Enriched with Microencapsulated Fish Oil

Abstract

The results indicate that n-3 PUFA from microencapsulated fish-oil-enriched foods are as bioavailable as n-3 PUFA in a capsule. Fortification of foods with microencapsulated fish oil, therefore, offers an effective way of increasing n-3 PUFA intakes and status in line with current dietary recommendations.
