The present invention relates to a water-in-oil emulsion comprising 15-90 wt. % of a fat phase having a solid fat content at 20&#xb0; C. (N) of at least 10%; and 10-85 wt. % of aqueous phase, said fat phase comprising: &#x2022;60-85% by weight of the fat phase of glycerides selected from triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides, phospholipids and combinations thereof, including at least 70% of triglycerides by weight of said glycerides &#x2022;15-40% by weight of said fat phase of phytosterol esters selected from sterol esters, stanol esters and combinations thereof; wherein &#x3c9;-3 fatty acids selected from EPA, DHA and combinations thereof represent 4-70% by weight of the fatty acids contained in the emulsion. Despite the high levels of EPA and DHA contained in the emulsion, off-flavor development as a result of oxidation of these &#x3c9;3-fatty acids is minimized due to the presence of sterol esters.

Water-in-oil emulsion comprising omega-3 fatty acids and process for the manufacture of same

Edible emulsion comprising 5 to 85 wt % fat and between 0.003 wt % and 0.7 wt % of iron and between 0.002 wt % and 0.3 wt % of zinc.
