I don't want to rile you, and I don't know what your reasons were for not wanting to engage in the UPF debate yesterday -- but a quick bit of reading on lecithin, and the molecules it's metabolised to, gives me a pretty good clue! :)
For anyone who knows fatty acids well, it must sound like BS

Related - salmon aren't peanuts - but if you've ever made peanut butter, it's incredibly hard to get at those oils! Takes an awful lot of grinding. They are well protected for sure.

All good logical stuff really -- protective skin, literally (in salmon) -- a world away from adding omega-3/6 oil and expecting it to still be there after hot frying.
Fatty acid chemistry is a great topic -- fascinating molecular structures -- skipped trienes, intrinsically so reactive.

Suggesting the DHA & EPA is nicely protected in the cell structure?
Makes good sense if it acts as a nice oxygen barrier.

And so much talk about protein and fibre lately -- but getting the right amount of the *right fats* (unoxidized) in the diet is equally central to long-term good health -- needs way more talk in media etc than just "not to much sat fat -- and get your omega-3s"

Thanks Simon. Interesting that you say research needed on question of PUFA surviving baking/heat -- that it's not well known yet. It could do with being done quickly to stop companies slapping omega-3 claims on their packets. It might be in the uncooked product, but not make it into their belly.

I wish more people would talk about what I see in your bio -- lipid oxidation -- which I think about lots these days, while trying to eat the right oils cold.
Makes me wonder about your thoughts on 'omega-3 eggs' that I saw yesterday - I reckon the PUFAs don't survive baking

Ah, I see - though chemistry's always enjoyable :)
Fatty acids are a great topic - so important to healthy nutrition - and interesting to see plants creating weird-looking novel ones, for whatever purpose

Not so ironic really, I'm sure those molecules are very happy (and cool) in their seeds -- it's only when isolated that their thermal (in)stability comes into play :)
