(1) - Unlike conventional methods of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) extraction that utilize solvents, enzymes, urea complexation and molecular distillation, the Bio-Extraction Process (BEP) utilizes supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce cleaner (residue free), higher quality PUFA and astaxanthin extracts. Additional advantages of SFE, using CO2, include its tasteless, odourless, non-toxic, non-flammable and generally regarded as safe (GRAS) properties. These additional advantages are crucial as other suppliers of omega-3 have made great strides in removing the fishy taste and smell from these oils, often accomplished through deodorization or encapsulation technologies. Furthermore, the oils used to provide omega-3 fortification in foods and beverages
