Encapsulated oils for corrective nutrition

Prof. Dr. Vijai K. S Shukla successfully demonstrated that it is possible to produce ultra refined fish oil with extremely low peroxide and anisidine values.

Designer oils

Professor, Dr Vijai K S Shukla’s recent research focuses on development of highly stable omega-3 oils for corrective nutrition based upon the technology of internally stabilization, a process developed by him. This process arrests total oxidation and thus creates highly stable oils for human nutrition.
