Altogether, the emulsion contains the following: φ-3 fatty acids, in particular EPA, or their physiologically acceptable esters in pure form or as components of fish oil or fractions of fish oil; at least one physiologically acceptable emulsifier; optionally, further fats, such as medium-chained triglycerides (MCT); optionally, α-tocopherol or physiologically acceptable α-tocopherol esters; optionally, ascorbic acid or physiologically acceptable ascorbic acid esters; and the usual additives and auxiliary substances. The total fat content is comprised between 5 and 20% and the emulsifier content between 5 and 12% (relative to the fat content). Production and use of this emulsion are also described. |
