“…The DHA levels reached 151.2 and 209.1 mg/100 g fw in roasted breast and leg fillets, with the respective total LC ω3 PUFA concentrations being 215.1 and 283.4 mg/100 g. The percent loss of ω3 LC PUFA during roasting was calculated to range between 6.7 and 12.1% in breast fillets and 28.5 and 39.6% in leg fillets ( Table 6). The lower loss of ω3 LC PUFA in roasted breast fillets, is in agreement with previous reports (Abrilm & Barclay, 1998), which attributed the lower DHA loss from poultry breast to its known lower fat and higher phospholipid content (Marion & Woodroof, 1965;Pikul & Kummerow, 1990). Additionally the higher fat loss during roasting of leg fillets (see previous session) could partly explain the lower retentions of DHA and the other LC ω3 PUFA.…”
