| description | Background: The mudskipper (P. schlosseri) belongs to
the Periophthalmin spp. within the family Gobiidae. They
live in the mangrove swamps and intertidal habitats which
are found only in tropical and subtropical regions. In some
countries, the mudskipper provides a valuable source of
protein throughout the Asian and African regions.
Objective: The main aim of the present study is to look
into the composition of the Malaysian giant mudskipper
lipid which might be useful to human health by looking
into the ratio of ω- fatty acids present in P. schlosseri oil.
Procedures: The fish oil from Malaysian mudskipper fish
was extracted using a modified Folch method. After
methylation, the fish oil was analysed by GC and GC-MS.
An HP-5 non-polar capillary column was used and the
temperature was initially kept at 50oC for 2 min and then
programmed at 5oC min-1 to 250oC. The injector and
detector temperatures were 220o and 250oC respectively
and He gas was used as carrier gas with a flow rate of 1.2
ml min-1.
Result: The GC and GC-MS results showed that the major
chemical constituents of P. schlosseri oil were palmitic
(16:0) (23.0%) and stearic acid (C18:0) acid (29.2%), oleic
acid (C18:1), (12.6%). The total saturated fatty acid (SFA)
was also found to be high (48.3%). The ratio of the total
saturated (SFA) and unsaturated acids (USFA) was 1:0.9
and it is considered that the giant snakehead fish oil is
good for human consumption.
Conclusion: The result shows that the total ω-6
content of P. chhlosseri was 15.4% and it has ω-3 and ω-6
ratio of 1:1. |
