Total lipid and omega-3 content in Pangasius catfish (Pangasius pangasius) and milkfish (Chanos chanos) from Indonesia

Sugata Marcelia, . and Wiriadi Priscilia Felita, . and Jap Lucy, . and Tan Tjie Jan, . Total lipid and omega-3 content in Pangasius catfish (Pangasius pangasius) and milkfish (Chanos chanos) from Indonesia. pp. 163-169. ISSN 1394-035X

Introduction: Supplementation of the diet with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been associated with multiple health benefits. This study aimed to determine total lipid and omega-3 content in two fishes from Indonesia which were Pangasius pangasius (P. pangasius) and Chanos chanos (C. chanos). Methods: Total lipid was extracted from P. pangasius and C. chanos and the lipid content was then analysed using gas chromatography“mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results: Lipid content of C. chanos (4.633.84) was higher than P. pangasius (3.941.43) but less than that found in Salmo salar (S. salar) which was found to contain 6.982.56 lipid. Furthermore polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 (EPA and DHA) analysis showed that C. chanos oil contained 0.36 EPA and 1.17 DHA. These levels are lower than that found in S. salar often referred to as the gold standard� for omega-3 fatty acids. Conclusion: C. chanos contains considerable amounts of EPA and DHA. As it is widely available in Indonesia it may be used as source of omega-3 fatty acids instead of salmon.

Abstract

Introduction: Supplementation of the diet with fish oil omega-3 fatty acids especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been associated with multiple health benefits. This study aimed to determine total lipid and omega-3 content in two fishes from Indonesia which were Pangasius pangasius (P. pangasius) and Chanos chanos (C. chanos). Methods: Total lipid was extracted from P. pangasius and C. chanos and the lipid content was then analysed using gas chromatography“mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results: Lipid content of C. chanos (4.633.84) was higher than P. pangasius (3.941.43) but less than that found in Salmo salar (S. salar) which was found to contain 6.982.56 lipid. Furthermore polyunsaturated fatty acid omega-3 (EPA and DHA) analysis showed that C. chanos oil contained 0.36 EPA and 1.17 DHA. These levels are lower than that found in S. salar often referred to as the gold standard� for omega-3 fatty acids. Conclusion: C. chanos contains considerable amounts of EPA and DHA. As it is widely available in Indonesia it may be used as source of omega-3 fatty acids instead of salmon.
