| description | Docosahexaenoic acid, DHA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that has
shown some medical and health benefits At present, the most common
sources of DHA are fish lipids The lipids of coldwater fishes are typically high
in DHA and these lipids are widely used as food supplements However, for
certain pharmaceutical and nutritional purposes, higher concentrations of
DHA are required Thus, there is a need to enrich this fatty acid in those
lipids which can be done by removal of other fatty acids Enzymatic method
IS one of the popular methods for DHA enrichment of fish lipids
in this research a local freshwater fish, the eel or Monopterus albus
was analyzed for its lipid and fatty acid content The fatty acid content of the
lipid was analyzed by gas chromatography after It was converted into methyl
esters The lipid content of this fish was about 1% and this lipid contained about 6% of DHA. |
