Fatty acid composition of the lipids from eight freshwater fish species from Greece

Fatty acid composition of fish is one of the key factors for the evaluation of fish nutritional value and it could be different based on fish species, habitat, nutrition and etc. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the fatty acid composition of five commercially important freshwater fish species taken from fisheries sites at Dez River, Iran. The fish samples included Heckel’s Orontes barbell, Luciobarbus pectoralis (Heckel, 1843), Chub, Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758), Common carp, Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758), Brond-snout, Chondrostoma regium (Heckel, 1843) and Longspine scraper, Capoeta trutta (Heckel, 1843). The determination of fatty acid contents of the fish fillets were conducted by means of Gas chromatography. Results showed that Luciobarbus pectoralis fillets had the highest amount of fatty acids (43.49%). Cyprinus carpio had the highest amount of saturated fat (SAF) (29.43%) whereas the Luciobarbus pectoralis fillets had the highest MUFA (Monounsaturated fatty acid) (18.51%). The Squalius cephalus fillets possessed the highest amount of PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acid) (1.87%). The Chondrostoma regium fillets revealed the highest n-6 (1.1%) while the Squalius cephalus fillets had the highest omega 3 (1.87%). The results of the present study showed that these freshwater fish are good sources of n-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, and could be considered as a valuable nutritional source.

Lipid Components

Background: Fishes are good sources of the fatty acids such as ω-3 and ω-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins for human consumption which play vital roles for various biological processes in the body and help in the proper growth and prevention of diseases. Objective: The objective of the present study was to determine the fatty acid composition, cholesterols, triglyceride and vitamin contents of some selected fishes from Hel river, Assam, India. Methods: Fatty acid composition of fish species was examined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, lipid components were determined following the reported methods and vitamins A and D contents were investigated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Results: Fatty acid compositions varied from 51.20-89.47% of saturated fatty acids, 0.27-19.68% of monounsaturated fatty acids and 1.75-30.76% of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid ranged from 0.54-22.30% and 1.26-18.85%, respectively. The fish species showed varying amounts of lipid components. The vitamins A and D were found in the range of 15.85-1287.0 μg/100 g and 45.0-677.24 μg/100 g, respectively. Conclusion: The fish species of this study are found rich in ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid along with noticeable amounts of vitamins A and D. Hence, these fish species have the potentials to serve as the natural dietary supplements for ω-3 fatty acids and other nutrients.
