Fatty acid composition in farmed great sturgeon Huso huso

Fatty acid composition in farmed great sturgeon Huso huso In this study, fatty acid profiles in farmed great sturgeon Huso huso were determined and results compared with those of other farmed sturgeon species. C18:1, C18:2, C16:0, C18:3, and C18:0 were the main fatty acids found in great sturgeon flesh and represented approximately 88% of total fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids were the most dominant class of fatty acids, followed by polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. The n-6 fatty acids represented a higher content than n-3 counterparts, giving an n-3/n-6 ratio of 0.28. As compared with other farmed sturgeons, the percentage of n-3 essential fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic, were lower in beluga. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Comparative Clinical Pathology Springer Journals

Abstract

In this study, fatty acid profiles in farmed great sturgeon Huso huso were determined and results compared with those of other farmed sturgeon species. C18:1, C18:2, C16:0, C18:3, and C18:0 were the main fatty acids found in great sturgeon flesh and represented approximately 88% of total fatty acids. Monounsaturated fatty acids were the most dominant class of fatty acids, followed by polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids. The n-6 fatty acids represented a higher content than n-3 counterparts, giving an n-3/n-6 ratio of 0.28. As compared with other farmed sturgeons, the percentage of n-3 essential fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic, were lower in beluga.
