Description
This study investigated the potential of Northern shrimp (Pandelus borealis Kreyer) by-products as a source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs). The by-products (heads, shell and tail) of processing accounted for approximately 50–60% of the catch. Supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE) of the by-products at 35MPa and 40°C generated a deep red oil, rich in ω-3 PUFAs, specifically 7.8±0.06% eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 8.0±0.07 % docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
