“…[33,34,37,[39][40][41] Those fatty acids occurring in the highest amounts were myristic acid (C14:0, 2.32 AE 0.12 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 184.62 AE 3.47 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), palmitic acid (C16:0, 17.78 AE 0.16 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 1164.70 AE 9.64 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), palmitoleic acid (C16:1, 3.37 AE 0.05 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 378.78 AE 3.47 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), stearic acid (C18:0, 6.95 AE 0.24 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 334.06 AE 1.93 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), oleic acid (C18:1n-9, 7.54 AE 0.61 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 1638.9 AE 4.45 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), cis-vaccenic acid (18:1n-7, 2.11 AE 0.04 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 269.43 AE 0.77 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), linoleic acid (C18:2n-6, 0.88 AE 0.10 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 58.63 AE 2.70 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), erucic acid (C22:1n9, 1.29 AE 0.09 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 125.11 AE 4.24 mg 100 g À1 for UAE), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, C20: 5n3, 2.05 AE 0.29 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 278.15 AE 3.09 mg 100 g À1 for Bligh and Dyer), decosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22: 6n3, 10.82 AE 0.38 mg 100 g À1 for Soxhlet to 454.06 AE 11.48 mg 100 g À1 for UAE). These results are in agreement with previous studies on fatty acid profiles of European eel extracted from Bligh and Dyer, [31,42] from Folch method, [43] brushtooth lizardfish from Bigh and Dyer, [38] red mullet from Bligh and Dyer, [32,34,38,39,44] striped redmullet (or surmullet) from Bligh and Dyer, [33] striped redmullet from Folch method, [37] common pandora extracted from Bligh and Dyer method, [45] from Folch method, [46] from Soxhlet method, [39] brushtooth lizardfish from Bligh and Dyer, [17,41] and goldband goatfish from Bligh and Dyer, [33] extracted according to Lovell [36] method. [35] Like lipid content, the fatty acid composition of fish species is not constant and it varies depending on many ecological and morphological factors such as species, season, location, diet, lifestage, and age of the fish, which have major www.advancedsciencenews.com www.ejlst.com impacts on the nutrient levels of fish and even vary broadly within species and between species [47] Previous report...…”
