چکیده
Fish is a high-quality animal-source food in the nourishment of millions worldwide. The most edible part fish muscle and which provides proper balance proximate non-proximate nutrition has relatively low caloric value than other meats. present study aimed to fill gaps nutritional profile three brackish water fishes (Arius maculatus, Mugil cephalus and Oreochromis niloticus) sourced from Batticaloa Lagoon, Sri Lanka. was conducted November 2019 February 2020 were sampled Kallady, Kattankudy Arayampathy markets. compositions such as moisture content, protein fat content ash epaxial muscles selected analyzed with standard methods. high among ranging 56.73 ± 5.96% 81.48 2.52%. A. maculatus, M. cephalus O. niloticus muscles ranged 15.36 1.62%, 17.33 1.96% 13.7 1.55% respectively. Amidst fishes, O. niloticus is lean (1.27 0.35%) while A. maculatus (3.20 0.59%) M. (2.43 0.37%) are low-fat based on lipid content. ranged 1.22 0.15% 1.77 0.45%, All measured parameters significantly different (P-value < 0.05%) species. results this revealed that maculatus contains highest higher amount can considered good source animal compared two

متن کاملFatty Acid Composition of Commercially Important Fish from Brazil
Total fat and fatty acid composition of seven fresh-water and nine marine fish commercially important in Brazil were determined. Palmitic acid was the predominant saturated fatty acid in both freshwater and marine fish. In the fat from freshwater fish the total C-16 fatty acids were higher than in marine fish. Oleic acid was the most abundant monounsaturated fatty acid and it was found in highe...
