In this newsletter the LOQ 1 and LOQ 3 session are presented. For more information about LOQ 1 or 3 sessions contact Clifford Hall (Clifford.hall@ndsu.edu) or Charlotte Jacobsen (cja@difres.dk). The LOQ 1 session is a joint session with the Edible Applications Technology Division (EAT 1). The title of the session is Omega-3 Application and Stability. This session will provide information about consumer trends, application in foods, sources and stability of omega-3 fortified foods. The session will first introduce the audience to omega-3 sources and market trends, followed by the application and stability of long chained omega-3 lipids in foods, and finally the application and stability of short-chained omega-3 lipids in foods. Emphasis will be placed on omega-3 from fish oil, flaxseed, canola and Stearidonic acid from soy. The LOQ3 session is the ”Lipid oxidation in emulsion” session. This session will provide information about oxidation in both oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions prepared with different types of emulsifiers ranging from low molecular weight surfactants to proteins. Some of the emulsions discussed will be based on fish oil. Most of the presentations will concern model emulsions, but a few presentations will deal with food emulsions. The effect on oxidative stability of adding various types of antioxidative compounds, e.g. fructose in the emulsions will also be discussed. One presentation will discuss how functional compounds such as lycopene can be stabilized against oxidation in emulsions.
