Techniques and Processes Involved in Nanoencapsulation of Omega-3, -6, and -9 Fatty Acids

Omega fatty acids are essential for young children’s growth and development. They also have essential functions in cell receptors of membranes and regulation of hormones synthesis. Essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and -6 can only be obtained through food mainly fish and other seafood and to a lesser extent through nuts, seeds, and plant oils.
