Abstract
Increasing recognition of the health benefits of omega-3 long-chain (≥C20) polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 LC-PUFA or LC omega-3
oils) continues. But new sources are needed, with recent developments with novel land plants showing promise. The value of existing and
future sources LC omega-3 oils occurs through aquaculture, livestock and other feeding. There is also a need toenhance the stability of oils
containing LC omega-3 oils. Challenges include increasing DHA levels in land plants, increasing oxidative stability in food products and
product labeling. Consumers have difficulty recognizing and differentiating long-chain and shorter-chain (SC, C18) omega-3 PUFA, both of
which are referred to as "omega-3" fatty acids.
