			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://vangogreen.com/images/article_omega3.jpg" alt="article_omega3.jpg" />A researcher at the University of Moncton in New Brunswick is hoping to produce healthy oils similar to omega-3, but from local plants.</p>
<blockquote><p>L’équipe de recherche développera des nutraceutiques, des produits spécialisés communément appelés suppléments alimentaires ou additifs nutritionnels, ainsi que des nouveaux ingrédients alimentaires bénéfiques pour la santé.<span id="more-108"></span></p>
<p>De nouveaux procédés seront élaborés pour la production de nouvelles huiles de graines oléagineuses avec des profils uniques d’acides gras polyinsaturés et la production à l’échelle commerciale de biopeptides dérivés des sous-produits de la transformation des fruits de mer.</p>
<p>La demande des consommateurs pour des produits contenant des acides gras<br />
polyinsaturés ne cesse de croître, en partie en raison des reportages dans les médias sur les bienfaits pour la santé de certains gras.</p></blockquote>
<p>The University&#8217;s full press release (in French) <a href="http://www.umoncton.ca/fesr/" target="_blank">is here</a>.</p>
<p>CBC.Ca has a story in English <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/01/24/plant-omegas.html" target="_blank">that outlines the project</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>The federal government will invest $3 million in the project over the next five years through the Atlantic Innovation Fund.</p>
<p>Biochemist Marc Surette said the university laboratory wants to use Buglossoides arvensis, a plant that produces oily seeds, as a substitute for omega-3.</p>
<p>&#8220;The omega-3 fatty acids that you really want are found in fish oils,&#8221; Surette said. &#8220;The problem is that fish oils are becoming more and more scarce.&#8221;</p>
<p>If successful, the plant oil could eventually replace the omega-3 that comes from fish, Surette said. <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/01/24/plant-omegas.html" target="_blank"> <em>full story here</em></a></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/01/24/plant-omegas.html" target="_blank"></a><br />
If it works, Surette hopes there&#8217;ll be a product on the market in a few years.</p>
