Total Lipids, Cholesterol And Triacyl Glycerol Composition Of Oil In Four Different Species Of Fish: Tilapia, Mackerel, Croaker, And Catfish.
ABSTRACT
Fish has long
been a major nutrient source for Nigerians due to protein, fat, vitamin and
mineral content. A major product of fish processing is fish oil. The aim of
this study was to evaluate the total lipids, cholesterol and triacylglycerol
composition of oil in four different locally available species of fish: Titus,
mackerel, croaker, and catfish. Oils from four (4) commercially imp\irlant
fishes found in Nigeria, namely Catfish (Clarias gariepinus), Tilapia (Tilapia
:di/ii), Croaker (Micropogonias undulatus), and Mackerel (Scomberomorus tritor)
were extracted and examined for the above parameters using standard protocols.
Lipid content values of all sampled fishes were significantly (P<0.05) different from each other in the order: Catfish (12.95 10.35) >
Mackerel (9.09±0.042) >Tilapia (8.56:i:0.0I) > Croaker (6.61±0.014).
Total cholesterol (mg/l00g) content values of all sampled fishes were
significantly (P<0.05) different from each other in the order: Mackerel (106.5010.71) >
Tilapia (64.00±1.41)- Catfish (47.0-1.41 Croaker ( 43 .00± 1.41 ). Percentage
triacylglycerol content of all sampled Ii shes were signif ic11 :! ly (P<0.05) different from cach other in the order: Tilapia (72.4910.01)>
Mackerel (70.39-%.01 Croaker (63.08±0.01)> Catfish (61.77±0.06). The study
indicated Mackerel, Catfish. Tilapia. Croaker to be good sources of dietary
lipids namely cholesterol and triacylglycerols, therefore consumption of the
studied fishes may proffer potent nutritional and health advantages.
