Description
Summary:Fish plays an important role in human diet and numerous changes occur in post-mortem affecting its chemical composition, nutritional contribution and fi llet quality. High performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was carried out to quantify the Vitamin E (-tocopherol) resource in fresh European eel, Anguilla anguilla and to detect the antioxidant variation after storage for 24hrs and 48hrs at 4°C and frying, traditional Mediterranean cooking. Our results show a great resource of vitamin E in Anguilla anguilla fi llet. Storage and cooking effects depends by the initial vitamin E content and by the culinary way used.
