Abstract:
1. An encapsulated product comprising a) oil droplets comprising at least one polyunsaturated fatty acid, b) a film-forming component comprising a protein, said film-forming component coating said oil droplets, c) at least one matrix material encapsulating the film-coated oil droplets, d) an acidic antioxidant dispersed throughout said matrix material, and e) a liquid plasticizer which plasticizes said at least one matrix material and which provides mobility to said acidic antioxidant in the plasticized matrix material, wherein said film forming component surrounds said oil droplets, and said matrix material and said acidic antioxidant surround the film-coated oil droplets, so that the acidic antioxidant can react with any ambient oxygen which enters the pellet interior or matrix material to prevent the oxygen from penetrating into the film-coated oil droplets.
