Embodiment

[0044] The following examples are illustrative of some products falling within the scope of the invention and methods for their preparation. They do not limit the invention in any way. Several changes and modifications can be made to the present invention. In other words, those skilled in the art will recognize numerous changes to these examples covering a wide range of formulations, ingredients, procedures and mixtures to rationally adjust the properties of the compounds of the invention for various applications. naturally exist level.

Embodiment 2

[0046] Example 2: Save deadline data

[0047] Shelf life testing and headspace analysis (oxidation testing) were performed at 37°C (accelerated conditions) and 20°C / 70% relative humidity (rh). The product was analyzed for organoleptic, pentane and residual oxygen. 90 days at 37°C corresponds to a shelf life of 12 months under non-tropical environmental conditions (~20°C). Sticks were stored in closed jars to exclude the influence of packaging materials, or in the case of Modified Atmospheric Packaging (MAP) in their original packaging. Taste and smell were evaluated on a scale of 0-10. A rating < 6 indicates an unacceptable product.

[0050] Example 3: Shelf life data for DHA sticks without the combination of citrus flavor and MAP

[0051] Prepare a series of cereal foods containing 200, 300, 400mg DHA / bar, wherein No Citrus Fragrance Refined and not using MAP . All products already exhibited a strong fishy off-flavor and odor after 1 month at 37°C, while water activity, moisture, pentane and residual oxygen were comparable to the control product.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cereal based food product, preferably shaped as a bar, having a water activity between 0.2 and 0.4 and comprising encapsulated DHA and one or more citrus flavors. The food product according to the present invention has no off-taste and odor.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and / or EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)-containing cereal food without fishy smell and odor and a method for its preparation and / or production. Background technique [0002] Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that is important for the health of the mother and her fetus / infant throughout pregnancy and lactation. Fatty acid experts who recognize the importance of maternal intake of DHA recommended 300 mg / day of DHA as an appropriate intake for pregnant and lactating women at a recent National Institutes of Health symposium. Several studies have contributed to this recommendation, including: [0003] - Maternal DHA levels are markedly lower during the last trimester of pregnancy, during which time a large amount of maternal DHA is transferred from the mother to the fetus, [0004] - In preterm infants, DHA levels in the umbilical artery wall are positivel...
