Abstract
Fish oil rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamin D(3) and carotenoid pigments have been sustainably extracted from anchovy fillet leftovers using biobased limonene. The oil is conveniently stabilized by adsorption on periodic mesoporous silicas. The simplicity of the process, the high load of fish oil, and the biocompatible nature of mesoporous silica support numerous forthcoming applications of this new class of "Omeg@Silica" materials.
