What shapes fish liver oil prices?

Use these documented market characteristics when comparing periods, countries and supplier quotes.

Seasonality

Seasonal pattern: Yes

Supply of fish liver oil follows the fishing season, with peak catches in spring and summer leading to higher availability of crude oil. Bulk oil is stored under inert conditions, allowing a relatively steady supply through the year, but seasonal variations in raw material quality can affect processing yields.

Demand driver

Nutritional content

High levels of EPA, DHA, vitamin A and D drive demand for health‑focused products.

Demand driver

Regulatory standards

Compliance with Codex and national limits on oxidation and vitamin levels influences market acceptance.

Fish Liver Oil Price Questions

What are the minimum vitamin A and D levels required for fish liver oil?
Cod liver oil must contain at least 40 µg of retinol equivalents per millilitre for vitamin A and at least 1.0 µg per millilitre for vitamin D.
Which quality parameters are used to grade fish liver oil?
Key parameters include acid value (≤ 3 mg KOH/g), peroxide value (≤ 5 meq O₂/kg), anisidine value (≤ 20), total oxidation value (ToTox ≤ 26), and the sum of EPA + DHA (≥ 27 % for certain species, ≥ 50 % for concentrated oils).
How should fish liver oil be stored to preserve quality?
It should be kept in airtight, light‑protected containers, preferably under an inert gas such as nitrogen; bulk oil is stored in steel tanks flushed with nitrogen.
What processing steps are involved from raw fish liver to refined oil?
The typical chain includes cooking or enzyme treatment, centrifugation, crude oil separation, followed by refining steps such as neutralisation, washing, bleaching, winterisation, deodorisation and distillation.
