Fatty acid composition in some selected marine fish species living in Turkish waters

The muscle fatty acid (FA) composition of 12 selected marine fish species living in Turkish waters was determined. FA profiles of muscle were compared in terms of total and individual saturated (SFAs) and unsaturated fatty acids. Total SFA, monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 PUFA) and n‐6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐6 PUFA) contents as well as n‐3/n‐6 FA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ratios differed (P < 0.01) in all fish species. Palmitic acid (16:0) among total SFAs, oleic acid (18:1n‐9) among MUFAs, DHA (22:6n‐3) among n‐3 PUFAs and 18:2n‐6 and 20:4n‐6 among n‐6 PUFAs were the most abundant FAs. The ratio of n‐3/n‐6 PUFA contents, indicating the availability of n‐3 PUFAs that are beneficial for human health, ranged from 2.67 to 12.61. The EPA/DHA ratio was between 0.17 and 0.83 in the marine fish species studied. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry     

PUFAs in Fish: Extraction,Fractionation, Importance in Health

ABSTRACT: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are currently in demand in the pure form and actively being studied to understand their potential roles in human health. Arachidonic acid, 20:4 (n‐6), and DHA, 22:6 (n‐3), are important in normal neurodevelopment and visual function. Infants fed formula often have low blood lipid 20:4 (n‐6) and 22:6 (n‐3). Consumption of fish oils may increase the 20:5 (n‐3) (EPA) and 22:6 (n‐3) (DHA) in human blood. Some marine fish oils contain higher amounts of arachidonic acid, EPA, and DHA. PUFA contents in different marine fishes and methods for their extraction and fractionation, in terms of fatty acid constituents in the form of methyl esters, are covered in this review. Emphasis is given to the fractionations of EPA and DHA by means of supercritical fluid extractions (SFE). The advantages of SFE compared to conventional methods are discussed in this review. PUFAs are usually extracted at about 10 to 30 MPa and at 40 to 80 °C. SFE is a promising and currently the best technique to extract PUFAs, especially EPA and DHA, from marine and freshwater fish.     

Stabilizing Oils from Smoked Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)

ABSTRACT:  Smoking of meats and fish is one of the earliest preservation technologies developed by humans. In this study, the smoking process was evaluated as a method for reducing oxidation of pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha ) oils and also maintaining the quality of oil in aged fish prior to oil extraction. Salmon heads that were subjected to high temperatures (95 °C) during smoking unexpectedly produced oils with fewer products of oxidation than their unprocessed counterparts, as measured by peroxide value (PV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and fatty acids (FA). Higher temperatures and longer smoking times resulted in correspondingly lower quantities of oxidative products in the oils. Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis of smoke-processed oils confirmed that polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were not being destroyed. Smoke-processing also imparted antioxidant potential to the extracted oils. Even when antioxidants, such as ethoxyquin or butylated hydroxytoluene, were added to raw oils, the smoke-processed oils still maintained lower levels of oxidation after 14 d of storage. However, decreased antioxidant capacity of smoke-processed oils was noted when they were heated above 75 °C. Vitamin studies supported the antioxidant results, with smoke-processed oils displaying higher levels of α-tocopherol than raw oils. Results suggest that smoking salmon prior to oil extraction can protect valuable PUFA-rich oils from oxidation. Improved preservation methods for marine oils may extend their usefulness when added as a supplement to enhance levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in foods.

Using Image Analysis to Predict the Weight of Alaskan Salmon of Different Species

ABSTRACT: After harvesting, salmon is sorted by species, size, and quality. This is generally manually done by operators. Automation would bring repeatability, objectivity, and record-keeping capabilities to these tasks. Machine vision (MV) and image analysis have been used in sorting many agricultural products. Four salmon species were tested: pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), red (Oncorhynchus nerka), silver (Oncorhynchus kisutch), and chum (Oncorhynchus keta). A total of 60 whole fish from each species were first weighed, then placed in a light box to take their picture. Weight compared with view area as well as length and width correlations were developed. In addition the effect of “hump” development (see text) of pink salmon on this correlation was investigated. It was possible to predict the weight of a salmon by view area, regardless of species, and regardless of the development of a hump for pinks. Within pink salmon there was a small but insignificant difference between predictive equations for the weight of “regular” fish and “humpy” fish. Machine vision can accurately predict the weight of whole salmon for sorting.

为研究海水鱼和淡水鱼鱼头磷脂及脂质脂肪酸组成的差异,以海水鱼(马鲛鱼、巴浪鱼、金鲳鱼)和淡水鱼(罗非鱼、鲫鱼、鲢鱼)鱼头为研究对象,利用Floch法提取6种鱼鱼头总脂;硅胶柱层析法将总脂分离收集中性脂、糖脂和磷脂;薄层层析(thin layer chromatography,TLC)分析比较6种鱼鱼头磷脂种类的分布、组成;气相色谱(Gas chromatography,GC)分析6种鱼鱼头脂质的脂肪酸组成。结果表明,6种鱼鱼头中提取率最高的脂质类型为中性脂,占总脂的48.98%~77.84%,其次为磷脂,占总脂的5.93%~22.86%,糖脂提取率最低,占总脂的3.67%~15.91%。鱼头磷脂中共检出4种磷脂组分,分别为磷脂酰乙醇胺(Phosphatidylethanolamine,PE)、磷脂酰胆碱(Phosphatidylcholine,PC)、鞘磷脂(Sphingomyelin,SM)、溶血磷脂酰胆碱(Lysophosphatidylcholine,LPC),其中PC明显高于其他磷脂组分。脂质中均含有较高含量的多不饱和脂肪酸(Poly-unsaturated fatty acid,PUFA),其中以二十二碳六烯酸(docosahexaenoic acid,DHA)为主,且均含有二十碳五烯酸(eicosapntemacnioc acid,EPA),海水鱼和淡水鱼鱼头磷脂中DHA和EPA占总脂肪酸的比例最高,分别为18.39%~21.43%和5.61%~10.38%,且海水鱼鱼头中以DHA和EPA为主的PUFA含量高于淡水鱼鱼头。因此,海水鱼鱼头是提取n-3多不饱和脂肪酸的潜在资源,尤其是制备n-3多不饱和脂肪酸型磷脂的良好来源。     

Development of a Method to Produce Freeze-Dried Cubes from 3 Pacific Salmon Species

Abstract: Freeze-dried boneless skinless cubes of pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), sockeye (Oncorhynchus nerka), and chum (Oncorhynchus keta) salmon were prepared and physical properties evaluated. To minimize freeze-drying time, the kinetics of dehydration and processing yields were investigated. The physical characteristics of the final product including bulk density, shrinkage, hardness, color, and rehydration kinetics were determined. Results showed that freeze-dried salmon cubes from each of the 3 Pacific salmon species can be produced with a moisture content of less that 10% and a_w less 0.4 and freeze-drying time of 9 h. Processing yields ranged from 26% to 28.4%, depending on fish species. Shrinkage was less than 12% and rehydration of freeze-dried cubes was rapid. The value-added products developed have the potential to be utilized as ingredients for ready-to-eat soups, as snack food, salad topping, and baby finger-food. Practical Application: Freeze-drying removes water from food products without heating them; therefore, this type of drying process yields very high-quality dried foods. In this study, a freeze-dry process was established to produce small cubes of Alaska pink, sockeye, and chum salmon. The goals were to shorten typical freeze-drying time while producing acceptable product characteristics. The freeze-drying process developed took only 9 h to remove about 97% of the moisture of diced Pacific salmon fillets. The freeze-dried salmon cubes produced can be used as ingredients for dehydrated ready-to-eat soups, as baby finger-foods, or as salad toppings.     

Seasonal dynamics of fatty acid content of a common food fish from the Yenisei river,Siberian grayling, Thymallus arcticus

Seasonal variations of fatty acid contents in muscle tissue of one of the main food fish species in Siberian rivers, grayling, Thymallus arcticus, were studied over 3 years. Under a comparatively low range of water temperature variations, spawning appeared to be the main cause of seasonal changes in contents of quantitatively prominent and essential fatty acids in fish filets. In general, fish accumulated essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), in their muscle tissue before reproductive seasons and then the PUFA seemed to be transferred into gonads during their formation. Hard roe of Siberian grayling had 3–4 times higher PUFA contents, than had that of the muscle tissue. The fish species, T. arcticus, was found to be a valuable source of the essential PUFA, including EPA and DHA, for human diet.     

Comparative analyses of allergens between landlocked and anadromous species of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou masou

Although the difference in allergenicity between landlocked and anadromous salmon is little understood, only anadromous salmon are recommended to be labeled in the current allergen labeling system. This study was designed to examine the allergenic potency of landlocked species (yamame) and anadromous species (sakuramasu) of masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou masou, with special reference to parvalbumin, a known major fish allergen. Analysis of the heated extracts by SDS-PAGE suggested that yamame contains parvalbumin in the muscle at considerably higher levels, as compared with sakuramasu. In accordance with this, the parvalbumin content in the muscle of yamame (1.8-7.8 mg/g), determined by visible-light ELISA, was significantly higher than that of sakuramasu (0.28-0.52 mg/g). Furthermore, fluorescence ELISA experiments showed that the heated extract from yamame reacts with serum from fish-allergic patients more strongly than that from sakuramasu. Three parvalbumin isoforms (PA-I, -II and -III) were individually purified from yamame and sakuramasu by gel filtration and reverse-phase HPLC. Based on the retention times in reverse-phase HPLC and the molecular weights estimated by MALDI/TOF-MS, PA-I, -II and -III from yamame were judged to be identical with PA-I, -II and -III from sakuramasu, respectively. Taken together, our data indicate that landlocked masu salmon (yamame) is more allergenic than anadromous salmon (sakuramasu).     

Protein Hydrolysis in Coho and Sockeye Salmon During Partially Frozen Storage

Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and sockeye salmon (O. nerka) were held at O°, ?1°, ?2°, ?3°, and ?20°C for up to 25 days. Hydrolysis of individual soluble proteins was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. The highest rates of Hydrolysis were in fish held at ?2° and ?3°C. Several proteins were present in nearly constant ratios. Significant changes were observed in nine other protein bands. A 35,000 dalton protein was present only in coho salmon. This protein appeared with a half-time of five days and then disappeared. Major changes were observed in 34,000 and 36,000 dalton proteins; half of which were hydrolysed in 7 to 20 days. A 32,000 dalton protein was half-hydrolyzed in 14–23 days in sockeye but very slowly in coho salmon.     

15种淡水鱼肌肉脂肪含量及脂肪酸组成分析

为比较淡水鱼肌肉脂肪酸在鱼类科、目以及种属间的差异,本文采用氯仿-甲醇(体积比=2:1)法提取15种淡水鱼背部肌肉的粗脂肪,运用气相色谱-质谱联用方法,分析了15种淡水鱼脂肪酸的组成。结果表明,15种淡水鱼肌肉粗脂肪含量在3.76%~14.74%,15种淡水鱼共检出24种脂肪酸,其中8种饱和脂肪酸(SFA),5种单不饱和脂肪酸(MUFA)和11种多不饱和脂肪酸(PUFA)。不同淡水鱼脂肪酸除个别有差异外,其他组成基本相同,但其含量因淡水鱼所在目、科和种属不同存在显著性差异,多不饱和脂肪酸含量最高,均在35%以上。不同鱼种的粗脂肪中EPA和DHA总含量有所差异,鲈鱼粗脂肪中DHA和EPA最高,总含量达到30%,而泥鳅粗脂肪中的EPA和DHA总含量仅为8.51%。部分鱼种可以作为EPA和DHA的良好膳食来源,具有较高的利用和开发价值。     

Physico‐enzymatic production of monoacylglycerols enriched with very‐long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids

BACKGROUND: Monoacylglycerols (MAG) containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have interesting applications. The enzymatic processing of such MAG directly from fish oils is highly interesting, integrating the processing of MAG and concentration of EPA and DHA. The aim of this study was to develop an efficient enzymatic glycerolysis system together with physical fractionation for the production of PUFA‐MAG from tuna oil. RESULTS: Novozym 435 was eventually selected after evaluation together with immobilized lipase AK in a tertiary alcohol‐based system. A further evaluation of solvent mixtures involving tertiary alcohols was made, taking ease of operation into consideration. It turned out that a number of mixtures gave a similar performance to that of tert‐butanol (TB). Basic reaction parameters were thoroughly evaluated. In the batch reaction system with TB as solvent, the recommended conditions were: glycerol/tuna oil 4:1 (mol/mol), TB/tuna oil 2:1 (wt/wt), 15 wt% Novozym 435, and temperature 40 °C. Under these conditions, the yield of MAG was up to 90% after 3 h incubation. Crude MAG from the production was fractionated to produce MAG with higher EPA and DHA content. Using acetone as solvent at 0 °C led to ca 50% yield of MAG but contained EPA and DHA up to 71% in comparison with ca 30% in tuna oil. CONCLUSION: Potentially practical process steps have been developed for the production of MAG containing a high content of EPA and DHA from natural fish oils with high efficiency and simplicity.

Characterization of liver oils from three species of sharks collected in Tunisian coasts: In vitro digestibility by pancreatic lipase

The increase in world fish lipid request has made necessary the search for new fish species rich in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) that could be used as raw material for oil production. In this study, liver oils from the deep‐sea sharks Mustelus mustelus, Squalus acanthias, and Rhinobatos cemiculus were extracted and analyzed to describe their lipids characteristics. Lipid contents of shark livers ranged from 64.245 to 69.57%. Among minerals, potassium and sodium were the most abundant while unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) were dominant exceeding 55% of the total FAs. Omega‐3 PUFA (ω‐3 PUFA) profiles exhibited a dominance of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. This study suggests that shark livers, actually considered as waste, may be an attractive source of ω‐3 PUFAs and a good source of carotenoids and phenolic compounds.

Practical applications

The production of EPA and DHA concentrates from residual sources of marine oils has unexplored potential of use in food industry and oil‐based nutraceutical production for obtaining health benefits can be achieved. The economic activities of fish residues can reduce inappropriate excessive fishing, reducing imports of fish oils while contributing to the ecosystem balance.     

Production of Salmon Oil from Filleting Byproducts—Effects of Storage Conditions on Lipid Oxidation and Content of ω‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

ABSTRACT: Filleting byproducts (heads, frame bones, skin, and down‐graded gutted fish) from farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were separated into a solid/aqueous phase and a lipid phase (oil) using a scraped‐surface heat exchanger (90 °C to 95 °C) and a decanter centrifuge (93 °C). Effects of storage temperature (4 °C and 23 °C), atmosphere (air and N₂), and time (0 to 180 d), as well as an additional process step—a separator introduced after the decanter centrifuge, were investigated on the quality and storage stability of the produced oil. Samples were analyzed for the quality parameters peroxide (PV), anisidine (AV), and Totox value (TxV), content of free fatty acids (FFA), content of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), especially the n‐3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and degradation of EPA and DHA related to the content of hexadecanoic acid (HDA) (ratios EPA/HDA and DHA/HDA). Storage temperature had significant effect on all the investigated quality parameters, especially on AV, PV, and TxV where a high storage temperature (23 °C) caused a 10‐fold, 2.5‐fold, and 4‐fold increase in AV, PV, and TxV, respectively. Storage atmosphere had significant effect on all the investigated parameters, except on the DHA/HDA ratio, where storage under an N₂ atmosphere significantly preserved the quality of the oil compared with storage in air. Generally, no significant effect of storage time on the investigated quality parameters was observed before 120 d of storage. No effect on quality was observed when introducing an additional processing step (separator) after the decanter centrifuge. Salmon oil is a stable product, and even more so when stored at appropriate conditions (under nitrogen atmosphere at refrigerated temperatures).     

气相色谱-质谱法分析六种鲈形目海水鱼脂肪含量和脂肪酸组成

分析六种鲈形目海水鱼脂肪酸组成,为海水鱼的生产加工提供理论依据。通过氯仿-甲醇法提取六种海水鱼肌肉的脂肪,运用气相色谱-质谱联用法对脂肪酸组成进行分析。六种鲈形目海水鱼肌肉粗脂肪含量为4.40%~8.72%,其中黄鳍鲷含量最高,总共检测出21种脂肪酸,包括6种饱和脂肪酸(saturated fatty acids,SFA)和15种不饱和脂肪酸(5种单不饱和脂肪酸(monounsaturated fatty acids,MUFA)和10种多不饱和脂肪酸(polyunsaturated fatty acids,PUFA)),粗脂肪和脂肪酸总体含量均有显著差异(P<0.05),其中SFA含量为26.63%~33.97%,MUFA含量为23.07%~29.13%,PUFA含量为41.06%~44.35%。6种鲈形目海水鱼EPA和DHA占脂肪酸总量为21.17%~35.73%,除了黄鳍鲷,其他5种海水鱼占比均在30%以上,其中马拉巴笛鲷中占比最高,为35.73%。六种鲈形目海水鱼中MUFA/SFA总体有显著差异(P<0.05),其中黒鲷最高(1.43),马拉巴笛鲷次之(1.36)。6种鲈形目海水鱼中多不饱和脂肪酸比较丰富,其中马拉巴笛鲷的EPA+DHA含量较高,按照人们对于必需脂肪酸的需求,马拉巴笛鲷的营养价值最高。     

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) muscle structure integrity and lysosomal cathepsins B and L influenced by dietary n-6 and n-3 fatty acids

This study had two main objectives: first, to evaluate the impact of different types and levels of dietary n-6 and n-3 fatty acids (FAs) on Atlantic salmon muscle structure integrity; second, to highlight a possible role of lysosomes and lysosomal degrading enzymes, cathepsins, in fish muscle structure integrity, in relation to dietary fatty acids. Four groups of Atlantic salmon (90 g starting weight) in fresh water tanks were fed one of four diets containing 23% crude lipids, with 100% of the added oils as either fish oil (FO), rapeseed oil (RO), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) enriched-oil or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) enriched-oil. The RO diet was characterised by low levels of EPA + DHA (10% of total FAs), whereas the EPA and DHA diets were characterised by very high levels of EPA + DHA (>50% of total FAs). Fatty acid composition of the muscle crude lysosomal fraction (CLF) generally reflected the diets. Salmon fed the RO diet presented a muscle CLF FA composition close to the one of the FO group, showing moderate PUFA levels, and comparable cathepsin B and cathepsin L activities, relative gene expression of cathepsin B and cathepsin L in the muscle and rate of myofibre–myofibre detachments post-mortem. Salmon fed the EPA and DHA-enriched-oil diets presented a fairly similar muscle CLF FA composition, but different from the FO and RO groups. In the EPA and DHA groups, the percentage of PUFAs in the muscle CLF, the rate of myofibre–myofibre detachments and the relative gene expression of cathepsin B were higher than in the FO and RO groups. Cathepsin B and cathepsin L total activities in the muscle were however lower in the EPA and DHA groups 0 h post-mortem. Dietary lipids influenced the level of lysosomal degrading enzyme activity cathepsin B and cathepsin L as well as the relative gene expression of cathepsin B. Feeding Atlantic salmon with rapeseed oil and extreme levels of EPA + DHA highlighted the impact of fatty acid composition of the diet on salmon muscle integrity and the complexity of the process involving muscle lysosomes and cathepsins in relation to these dietary fatty acids.     

Lipase-Assisted Concentration of n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids from Viscera of Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)

ABSTRACT: In fish processing, viscera are generally considered waste products and often discarded. Our research objective was to use Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) viscera as a source of fish oil and to increase its concentration of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) by lipase-assisted hydrolysis. Lipids from fillets and viscera had similar fatty acid compositions. After the enzymatic hydrolysis, acylglycerols were isolated from free fatty acids, therefore increasing the concentrations of EPA and DHA in the acylglycerols. Among the 6 commercial lipases investigated, lipases from Pseudomonas cepacia and Candida rugosa were the most effective following incubation of viscera oil at 35 °C for 20 h. Salmon viscera were a good source for fish oil, and the concentration of DHA and EPA was doubled by using microbial lipases.     

Fatty acid profile and proximate composition of Pacific mullet (Mugil so‐iuy) caught in the Black Sea

This study demonstrates proximate composition and fatty acid profile of Pacific mullet caught in Turkey. The highest moisture and protein contents were observed with muscle tissues as 83.74 and 10.52%, while the highest fat and ash contents were attributed to female gonads as 11.80 and 0.94%, respectively, with a significant variation amongst months (P < 0.05). Significant variation (P < 0.05) usually occurred amongst months within the same sex for total saturated fatty acids ( ∑ SFA), monosaturated fatty acids ( ∑ MUFA), polyunsaturated fatty acids ( ∑ PUFA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in muscle, although overall mean values between sexes were not found significant. Except for EPA, no variation observed for gonads while significant changes occurred (P < 0.05) with liver samples amongst months. Overall total values of ∑ SFA, ∑ MUFA, ∑ PUFA, DHA and EPA in muscle samples were 29.59, 29.26, 18.06 and 4.48%, respectively, while in gonads ranged as 30.26–33.23%, 35.17–37.47%, 11.87–14.88%, 4.38–5.34% and 3.02–5.02%. These FAs were 21.57–33.11%, 32.89–50.96%, 14.78–20.08%, 0.89–9.94% and 5.85–9.54% for liver, respectively. The results of this study showed that muscle and gonads of Pacific mullet were rich in n‐3 PUFA, especially, EPA, DHA, increasing the value of this species for human consumption.
