Tocopherol Deposition in the Muscle of Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar)

ABSTRACT The deposition of four tocopherols (α, β, γ and δ) was studied in the muscle of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) smolts reared in seawater. γ‐Tocopherol was deposited in proportion to the a‐tocopherol content of the diet when both were added to the diet in a natural mixture. Both δ‐ and β‐to...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT The deposition of four tocopherols (α, β, γ and δ) was studied in the muscle of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) smolts reared in seawater. γ‐Tocopherol was deposited in proportion to the a‐tocopherol content of the diet when both were added to the diet in a natural mixture. Both δ‐ and β‐tocopherols were deposited in the muscle to a lesser extent than the a and γ forms. An equilibrium among tocopherols in muscle was reached in 15 wk.
