Fish Oil

A marine lipid ingredient produced from fish or fish trimmings, used mainly as a source of energy and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Quality and stability depend on freshness, oxidation level and processing.

Fish Oil is a lipid rather than a protein source, valued for energy and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Its quality and stability depend on freshness, oxidation level and processing, so parameters such as free fatty acids and peroxide value are confirmed per trade. Marine protein and lipid ingredients are covered on the Marine Ingredients page; other animal proteins on the Animal Protein Raw Materials page.
