Characteristics of Softgel Capsules Mixture of Patin Oil, Red Palm Oil, and Shark Liver Oil

Abstract

Fish oil is a source of unsaturated fatty acids, especially the content of omega-3 fatty acids, omega-6 and omega-9. Freshwater fish oil omega-3 content is relatively low. but the high content of omega-9, is one of those derived from patin oil. Sea fish oil has a relatively high content of omega-3 fatty acids, one of which comes from shark liver. Oil is not only comes from fish but also from plants. One of the vegetable oils from palm oil that is beneficial for health is red palm oil which has a relatively high carotenoid content which is a source of vitamin A. These three types of oil have excess and deficiencies in the composition of fatty acids, so they can be combined to improve their functional properties in the form of softgel capsule.The mixture of these three oils in the form of capsule softgel is functional food. The research method of mixing the three oils with a certain ratio of F1 (45 patin oil, 25 red plam oil, and 30 shark liver oil), F2 (.45 patin oil: 30 red plam oil: 25 shark liver oil. and F2 (45 patin oil: 35 red plam oil:20 shark liver oil) was analyzed the composition of fatty acids. The selected F 1 formulation is used as a softgel capsule. The analysis results show that the quality characteristics of the three oils are in accordance with IFOS standards (peroxide number and free fatty acids. The composition of sofgel fatty acids produced with F1 formula, produced omega-3 (0.47%), Omega-6 (32.87%), and omega-9 (26.97%), Besides the high omega-3,6 and 9 content, the saturated fatty acid content is also low.
