The cell wall of autotrophic microalgae influences the enrichment of long chain omega-3 fatty acids in the egg

Next to the microalgal species, fish oil was also supplemented to the diet of the laying hens. Fish oil resulted in a higher enrichment in comparison with the microalgal species, either non-disrupted or HPH-disrupted. This might suggest a difference in bioaccessibility of the n − 3 PUFA when added as oil or biomass.
