ENCAPSULATED FOOD AND PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A23L33/115 A23L33/12 A23P10/30 

FIELD: pharmaceuticals.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to encapsulated compositions of phospholipid-containing oils. The following is proposed: an encapsulated composition containing a fat composition with one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and at least one edible gum, wherein the encapsulated composition has a free surface fat content of less than about 5%, and the fat composition contains at least about 20% of phospholipids, and wherein at least one edible gum is present at a concentration from about 0.05% to about 1% m/m relative to the amount of water in the encapsulated composition. The following is proposed: a method of increasing the encapsulation efficiency of a fatty composition containing one or more long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by introducing into the said composition at least one edible gum, wherein at least one edible gum is present in a concentration from about 0.05% to about 1% m/m relative to the amount of water in the composition, and the fat composition contains at least about 20% of phospholipids, wherein the encapsulation efficiency is determined and/or quantified by the free surface fat content of the encapsulated composition compared to the free surface fat content in the absence of at least one edible gum. Also the following is provided: an encapsulated composition containing a fat composition with one or more long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and at least one edible gum, wherein at least one edible gum is present in a concentration from about 0.05% to about 1% m/m relative to the amount of water in the encapsulated composition, and the fat composition contains at least about 20% m/m of phospholipids.

EFFECT: invention provides encapsulated compositions containing one or more long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids with improved stability.
