Authorised Novel Food | SpecificationsAntarctic Krill oil from Euphausia superba | Description/Definition:To produce lipid extract from Antarctic Krill (Euphausia superba) deep-frozen crushed krill or dried krill meal is subjected to lipid extraction with an approved extraction solvent (under Directive 2009/32/EC). Proteins and krill material are removed from the lipid extract by filtration. The extraction solvents and residual water are removed by evaporation.Saponification value: ≤ 230 mg KOH/gPeroxide value (PV): ≤ 3 meq O2/kg oilOxidative stability: All food products containing Antarctic Krill oil from Euphausia superba should demonstrate oxidative stability by appropriate and recognised national/international test methodology (e.g. AOAC).Moisture and volatiles: ≤ 3 % or 0,6 expressed as water activity at 25 °CPhospholipids: ≥ 35 % to < 60 %Trans-fatty acids: ≤ 1 %EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): ≥ 9 %DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): ≥ 5 %
