The invention provides a microencapsulated omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids glyceride composition, products comprising such compositions, uses of such compositions, and processes for preparing such compositions, wherein the glycerides comprise at least one of monoglycerides and diglycerides, and are microencapsulated by preparing a mixture comprising an emulsion wherein droplets of the glycerides are dispersed in an aqueous continuous phase, the mixture further comprising one or more polymer components, and microencapsulating the droplets of the glycerides with the one or more polymer components by a method selected from spray-drying the mixture and inducing coacervation of the one or more polymer components in the mixture to form primary shells of coacervate encapsulating the droplets. |
