Krill oil represents an important alternative natural source of omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). For the first time, internal lamellar and inverse hexagonal liquid crystalline phases were reported during the digestion of krill oil-in-water emulsions using time-resolved synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering coupled with an in vitro lipolysis model. The dynamic phase behavior helps the delivery of nutrients to the body and has implications in the development of food and drug nanocarriers.
