英國就海藻油作為DHA來源用于嬰兒及較大嬰兒配方食品征求意見

    食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊  據(jù)英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局消息，9月30日英國食品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)局就海藻油作為DHA來源用于嬰兒及較大嬰兒配方食品征求意見，征求意見截止2013年10月20日。

    目前嬰兒配方食品中的DHA通常是金槍魚油或寇氏隱甲藻（Crypthecodinium cohnii）中提取的。

    本次申請(qǐng)從裂殖壺菌（Schizochytrium sp）中提取DHA.

    部分原文報(bào)道如下：

    A company has applied to the Food Standards Agency to widen the use of algal oil under the Novel Food Regulation （EC） No. 258/97. Views are wanted on the company's application. The deadline for sending comments is Sunday 20 October 2013.

    This oil, which is rich in the omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid （DHA）， is extracted from a newly isolated strain of the microalgae, and the company, DSM Nutritional Products, proposes to use the oil primarily as a source of DHA in infant and follow on formula.

    The DHA that is currently used in infant formula is typically extracted from tuna fish oil or from a microalgae, Crypthecodinium cohnii.
