The present invention includes a palatable, stable composition comprising
a biomass hydrolysate emulsion for incorporation, into, or used as,
nutritional products, cosmetic products or pharmaceutical products.
Preferred sources for biomass are microbial sources, plant sources and
animal sources. The present invention also provides methods for making
such compositions, specifically, a method for producing a product
comprising a nutrient, particularly a long chain polyunsaturated fatty
acid, comprising hydrolyzing a biomass comprising the nutrient and
emulsifying the hydrolyzed biomass. Such compositions and methods are
useful, for example, for increasing intake of nutrients such as omega-3
long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids having 18 or more carbons.
