What is the significance of peroxide values (PV) and p-anisidine values (P-AV)?

0

Peroxide values (PV) are used to measure primary oxidation of the fish oil and p-anisidine values (P-AV) are used to measure secondary oxidation. Increased PV and P-AV numbers reflect increased oxidation of the oil. Ocean Nutrition Canada measures both values to have a complete picture of MEG-3 the oils oxidation status, as part of our rigorous quality assurance processes. What are mixed natural tocopherols? Mixed Natural Tocopherols (MNT), including d-alpha tocopherol (Vitamin E), are antioxidants, which prevent the oxidation and degradation of the oil, thereby, extending the shelf life of the product. How relevant is cholesterol content in MEG-3 fish oil ingredients? A daily dose of MEG-3 concentrated fish oil contains less than 1% of the maximum recommended daily level of cholesterol. For example, MEG-3 40/20EE averages 0.21mg/g cholesterol, which is 0.07 % of the maximum daily-recommended cholesterol intake of 300mg.
