In view of the inadequateintake of omega-3 fatty acids in modern diets, several enriched functional foods have been developed on a large scale to improvenutrition. Several types of functional products have been progressively manufactured following the advent of novel food technologies.In the current study, consumer attitudes, knowledge and preferences of functional foods enriched with omega-3 were assessed in asurvey including 819 participants in Istanbul, Turkey.
