Anchovy oil/βCD complexes were obtained with good recovering yields of 74–99%.
EPA and DHA relative content of raw oil were 28.2% and 22.3%, respectively.
EPA and DHA relative content of 3.5% and 4% was determined in the encapsulated oil.
“Residual” oil from βCD complexation is concentrated in n-3 fatty acid glycerides.
Water content provide indirect information on fish oil/βCD molecular encapsulation.
