This study investigated the potential of Northern shrimp (Pandelus borealis Kreyer) by-products as a
source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (x-3 PUFAs). The by-products (heads, shell and tail) of
processing accounted for approximately 50–60% of the catch. Supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE) of the
by-products at 35 MPa and 40 C generated a deep red oil, rich in x-3 PUFAs, specifically 7.8 ± 0.06% eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and 8.0 ± 0.07 % docosahexaenoic acid
