Fatty Acid Composition of Total Lipid, Phospholipid and Triacylglycerol in The Muscle and Gonad Tissue of Chondrostoma regium

Abstract

In this study, muscle and gonad lipids of a freshwater fish. Chondrostoma regium, were examined via gas chromatography. The major fatty acids were palmitic acid (C16:0) (23.29-26.58%) and stearic acid (C18:0) (9.69-11.33%) in saturated fatty acid (SFA), oleic acid (C18: 1n -9) (16.91-19.96%) and palmitoleic acid (C16: 1n-7) (5.30-8.76%) in monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), aracidonic acid (C20:4n-6) (4.45-9.32W in n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3, EPA) (3.42-11.56%) docosahexanoic acid (C22:6n-3, DHA) (4.20-13.10%) in n- 3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUPA).
