Oxidation of Fish Oil Oleogels Formed by Natural Waxes in Comparison with Bulk Oil

This study clearly showed that the oleogel technology can be used to prevent oil oxidation by immobilizing oil in food products. This technology can be used for commercial products such as fish oil supplements to prevent oil oxidation during production, transportation, and storage. The information presented in this study can also be used for new omega‐3 oil fortified food products such as margarine, spreads, shortening, cookies, and other related products. The oleogel technology can be easily applied as a drop‐in method. Natural waxes used as oleogelator are inexpensive and widely available, and most of them are already used in many food products.
