Croda’s Super Refined™ fish oils are available in either ethyl ester (EE) or triglyceride form (TG). EEs are formed by taking the crude fish oil and high purity ethanol using a process called esterification. These ethyl esters can then be used in order to concentrate the EPA and DHA present in the crude fish oil, using various processes. The concentrated forms of EPA and DHA can then be consumed as ethyl esters or be converted to triglyceride form.
