The present invention relates to a method for enriching animal meat with Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids comprising administering a composition comprising Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to the animal in a first phase, and administering a composition comprising Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to the animal in at least one subsequent phase, wherein the composition administered to the animal in the at least one subsequent phase has a Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid content of not more than 75% relative to the composition administered to the animal in the first phase.

A liquid nutritional composition including 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-MTHF) is provided. The liquid nutritional composition also includes ascorbic acid and a protein system containing methionine to inhibit or reduce oxidation of the 5-MTHF and provide an active folate level of the liquid nutritional composition that remains stable over the shelf life of the liquid nutritional composition.

Provided are food products that are derived from non-animal sources that have one or more of the following: color, taste, nutritional content, and other qualities similar to those of dairy products and/or other types of food products. Also provided are processes for production of such dairy-like food products and/or other types of food product analogs.

The objective of the present invention is to provide compositions containing vegetable oils and an anti-oxidant system to prevent oxidation of the triglycerides in the vegetable oil in food products, in particular in products which are often stored for a long time. The antioxidant system should not give an undesired colour, and neither an undesired taste, to a food composition. Additionally, it should be a natural compound and/or common food ingredient, and fitting to the food composition with regard to taste and colour. This has been achieved by providing a food composition containing vegetable oil, wherein the composition comprises a source of organic acids, one or more organic acids other than acetic acid, amino acids, and one or more phenolic compounds. More in particular the source of organic acids comprises organic acids other than acetic acid to total organic acids in the source of organic acids at a weight ratio ranging from 0.5% to 60%; and the weight ratio of one or more amino acids to total organic acids in the source of organic acid ranges from 0.03% to 20%.
