This session discusses different methods to evaluate oxidative stability in omega-3 rich oils and products containing omega-3 oils. The session focuses on accelerated methods versus storage trials but also covers other topics such as volatile oxidation markers for omega-3 fatty acids oxidation, how to analyze lipid oxidation in phospholipid rich omega-3 preparations (e.g., krill oil), and strategies to protect omega-3 rich oils (antioxidants, encapsulation and packaging).
