Fish oil for human health: omega-3 fatty acid profiles of marine seafood species

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fat contents and fatty acid profiles of the edible meat of 13 different seafood species caught in the Northeastern Mediterranean coast. The fatty acid compositions of seafood species ranged from 27.68% to 36.59% saturated fatty acids, 8.99% to 35.84% monounsaturated fatty acids and 10.69% to 39.57% polyunsaturated fatty acids.

“…It has been reported by many researchers that the most important fatty acids of freshwater and marine fish are palmitic acid, stearic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, vaccenic acid, linoleic acid, EPA and DHA (Jankowska et al, 2003;Guler et al, 2007;Özogul et al, 2007;Donmez, 2009;Durmuş and Özoğul, 2018;Durmuş, 2018). In this study, similar results were obtained with the researchers.…”

“…According to Ulbricht & Southgate (1991), the levels of atheroma and thrombosis in fish indicate the overall dietary quality of lipids and their potential effect on the development of coronary diseases. The AI and TI values were in the range of 1.76 to 2.57, higher than that found in other species by several authors (Durmuş, 2019;Turan et al, 2011). These rates are related to the percentage of lipids present in food and although the fish species studied in this work has a significant lipid value in its composition, they are good quality lipids, primarily polyunsaturated fatty acids, being a good source of omega 9.…”

“…The FA C20:2, C20:3 n6, C24:1 n9, and C20:5 were identified only in the IMF sample. Some of these FA are found in fish oils [36] and vegetable oils [37,38], and thus, these were the likely sources in the IMF sample and were added during processing. The probable FA sources for the 13 compounds of interest are outlined in Table 2.…”
