This study was conducted to determine the cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol contents of 20 marine fish and four other seafood from the Straits of Malacca. Cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol contents of the fish and other seafood were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that most of the fish contained low amounts of cholesterol except sixbar grouper (Epinephelus fasciatus) long-tailed butterfly ray (Gymnura sp.) yellowstripe scad (Selaroides leptolepis) cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) large-scale tongue sole (Cynoglossus arel) and longtail shad (Hilsa macrura) that contained high amounts of cholesterol (119.39-353.97 mg/100 g wet samples). Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) giant seaperch (Lates calcarifer) prawn (Metapenaeus affinis) and moonfish (Trachinotus blochii) had high alpha-tocopherol contents (462-989 g/100 g wet sample). Regular consumption of fish and other seafood is highly recommended partly due to the high alpha-tocopherol content. Due to the high cholesterol in certain types of fish consumption of the fish fillets of sixbar grouper long-tailed butterfly ray yellowstripe scad cuttlefish and large scale tongue sole should be 100 g per day and 50 g per day for longtail shad. Validation of the analytical method also showed a high accuracy and reproducibility of the HPLC method.

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol contents of 20 marine fish and four other seafood from the Straits of Malacca. Cholesterol and alpha-tocopherol contents of the fish and other seafood were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that most of the fish contained low amounts of cholesterol except sixbar grouper (Epinephelus fasciatus) long-tailed butterfly ray (Gymnura sp.) yellowstripe scad (Selaroides leptolepis) cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) large-scale tongue sole (Cynoglossus arel) and longtail shad (Hilsa macrura) that contained high amounts of cholesterol (119.39-353.97 mg/100 g wet samples). Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) giant seaperch (Lates calcarifer) prawn (Metapenaeus affinis) and moonfish (Trachinotus blochii) had high alpha-tocopherol contents (462-989 g/100 g wet sample). Regular consumption of fish and other seafood is highly recommended partly due to the high alpha-tocopherol content. Due to the high cholesterol in certain types of fish consumption of the fish fillets of sixbar grouper long-tailed butterfly ray yellowstripe scad cuttlefish and large scale tongue sole should be 100 g per day and 50 g per day for longtail shad. Validation of the analytical method also showed a high accuracy and reproducibility of the HPLC method.
