It is now more and more recognized that the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are best made available via their addition to suitable foods. This makes it possible to cover the broadest spectrum of the population.
But, addition of omega-3 oils to foods is only possible when the oil is completely neutral (bland) in taste and odour and resists flavour deterioration (flavour stable, no significant oxidation) while the food is on the shelf. Arctic Omega - 3 Seal Oil was developed from the outset with this goal.
Selection of raw materials, careful rendering of the blubber to obtain the raw oil and, especially, the refining of the raw oil to achieve a flavour-neutral, stable oil, very low in oxidation products are essential.
Arctic Omega - 3 Seal Oil can be used in a large variety of foods without affecting taste.
In the incorporation of the oil into a food, it is very important that the oil is handled under nitrogen protection and at the lowest possible temperature. The foods chosen for incorporation should normally be stored refrigerated, or have a short shelf-life. Examples are margarine, milk, scrambled eggs, or bread and other baked goods, or highly flavoured salad dressings.
