Fish oil is one of the most popular dietary nutritional supplements. Reports on qualities fish oils from Chinese markets are scarce, although consumption products in China huge and increasing. This study systematically investigated commercial encapsulated (CFs) bulk (BFs) markets, including oxidative level, sensory quality, color, metal element content, unsaturated fatty acid content. Significant quality variations were observed both among individual CFs between BFs: 65.2% (excluding flavored sample) BF sample met China’s Grade II oxidation product standards; 80.8% three BFs within regulatory limits for heavy contamination. A distinct fishy odor was detected four sample, while a pronounced rancid CF sample. The EPA contents 64% DHA 48% their labeled claims. Furthermore, these five parameter categories demonstrated non-significant intercorrelations, with unit price being independent quality. These findings indicated that require refinement, implementation low-temperature dark storage/transportation protocols. provided comprehensive benchmarks production marketing.
