Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction of polyunsaturated fatty acids from Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis Kreyer) processing by-products

► We investigated the extraction of Northern shrimp by-products using supercritical CO2. ► The oil extracted was rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. ► The oil can be produced by the Inuit of Northern Quebec as a natural health product.
