Zusammenfassung:Provided herein are microencapsulated compositions, optionally oil-in-water emulsions, comprising one or more long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs), optionally in triglyceride form, wherein the encapsulant comprises one or more low molecular weight proteins. In particular embodiments the composition has a surface free fat content of about 1%. Also provided are methods for protecting one or more LCPUFAs, or one or more oils comprising the one or more LCPUFAs, from oxidative degradation, comprising encapsulating the LCPUFAs or oil with an encapsulant comprising one or more low molecular weight proteins.
