Navigating the depths of marine lipids: From extraction efficiency to flavour enhancement

Abstract

Marine lipids are recognised to have substantial importance in biology and human health. These remarkable lipids, which originate from the rich biodiversity of the oceans, hold a unique status for several reasons. Marine lipids provide long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFAs), specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6) (Ahmmed, Ahmmed, et al., 2021; Ahmmed, Carne, et al., 2021; Ahmmed et al., 2022a, 2022b; Ahmmed et al., 2023), that play an important role in health and wellbeing (Zhang et al., 2019), and especially brain health (Ahmmed et al., 2020; Ahmmed et al., 2023; Burri et al., 2012).
