Fatty acid composition of selected roes from some marine species

Abstract Fifteen roes from different marine fish species available in Spain were analyzed in order to determine their fatty acid (FA) composition, especially the eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n ‐3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n ‐3, DHA) contents. Roes from Atlantic bonito ( Sarda sarda ), Euro...

Description
Summary:Abstract Fifteen roes from different marine fish species available in Spain were analyzed in order to determine their fatty acid (FA) composition, especially the eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n ‐3, EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6 n ‐3, DHA) contents. Roes from Atlantic bonito ( Sarda sarda ), European squid ( Loligo vulgaris ), cuttlefish ( Sepia spp.), lumpfish ( Cyclopterus lumpus ), European hake ( Merluccius merluccius ), Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) and gonads of male Atlantic mackerel ( Scomber scombrus ) reached EPA + DHA amounts higher than 30% of the total FA, and among them, roes from lumpfish, European hake and salmon provide different FA type ratios that could make them adequate as dietary sources of EPA and DHA.
