A process for increasing the stability of a composition containing a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid against oxidation proceeds by (i) providing a starting composition containing at least one polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid component; (ii) providing a lysine composition; (iii) admixing an aqueous, an aqueous-alcoholic or an alcoholic solution of starting composition and lysine composition, and subjecting resulting admixture to spray drying conditions subsequently, thus forming a solid product composition containing at least one salt of a cation derived from lysine with an anion derived from a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid; the product composition exhibiting a solvent content SC selected from the following: SC<;5 wt %, SC<;3 wt %, SC<;1 wt %, or SC<;0.5 wt %.
