Abstract Today, tocopherols serve as the industrial standard antioxidant protection for fish oil omega‐3 concentrates. Synergistic interactions between tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate and natural polyphenols extracted from plant sources have been demonstrated in model systems. The main goal this work was to develop a mix of such antioxidants with improved efficacy context preserving marine formulation comprises palmitate, rosemary extract green tea catechins. Part scope method dissolving catechins oil. key element is introduce on lipid insoluble carrier when oil, thereafter remove by filtration. tested against tocopherol concentrates minimum 300 mg/g eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) plus 200 docosahexaenoic (DHA) form triacylglycerides ethyl esters. superior compared suppressing both primary‐ secondary oxidation. Weight increase measurements contact air correlated well oxidation tests within individual samples considered simple useful monitoring
