Docosaexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) are known to be most important ω-3 PUFAs for their beneficial roles in human health. The American Heart Association has recommended a comparatively higher daily dosage of 500 mg of ω-3 PUFA for healthy adults. Therefore, demand for ω-3 PUFA enriched fish oil has shown a steady increase during the recent year. Thus, the extraction of ω-3 enriched oils from fish and fish by-products gained tremendous importance. In this chapter, sources and benefits of ω-3 PUFAs on human health and the extraction methods of omega-3 fatty acids are discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCardiovascular DiseaseFatty AcidsFood İngredientsLiquid ChromatographySupercritical Fluid ChromatographyΩ-3 PufasBook Chapter19721210.1016/B978-0-12-816453-2.00007-32-s2.0-85105080666
