FUNCTIONAL FOOD INGREDIENT WITH PRESET LIPID PROFILE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A23L1/29 A23L1/325 A23L1/303 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to food ingredients intended for food products enrichment with polyunsaturated fatty acids, to manufacture of functional and specialised food products and biologically active food additives. The functional food product with preset lipid profile contains fish oil and a natural antioxidant; the fish oil used has total content of polyunsaturated fatty acids equal to no less than 25%; the sum of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids is equal to no less than 5%; the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is equal to 3-5:1, respectively. Fish oil is produced from fat raw material of Clarias Gariepinus sharptooth catfish grown under aquaculture conditions; the peroxide number during the ingredient production should not be more than 1.6 mmol 1/2 O₂/kg. The natural antioxidant is represented by a mixture of natural tocopherol in combination with vegetable oil taken at a ratio of 2.3-2.5:1 in an amount of 0.02-0.05% of the fish fat oil.

EFFECT: invention allows to manufacture a functional food product with optimal ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the daily ration, with high resistance to oxidation and neutral organoleptic characteristics.
