Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Disclosed are food products, especially stable emulsions such as salad dressings which, contain non- hydrogenated fish oil yet which exhibit enhanced stability of the fish oil against flavor degradation. The improved food products are stabilized by the incorporation of the food product such that the weight ratio of fructose to fish oil is at least about 0.05:1. Surprisingly, incorporation of modest amounts of fructose in food products within the indicated range provides a stabilizing effect of the highly unstable fish oil. The present invention finds particular suitability for use in connection with fish oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
