“…This finding was supported by Svetashev et al [22] who pointed out that the major fatty acids discovered in almost all species of sea cucumber was arachidonic acid while the total PUFA were higher than total SFA and MUFA [23]. The results obtained supported previous studies.…”

Abstract-The total lipid contents of local sea cucumbers; Holothuria scabra Jaeger, H. leucospilota Brandt, H. atra Jaeger and Stichopus horrens Selenka were determined with the respective results on dry matter basis 0.72%, 1.42%, 0.99% and 1.55%. Meanwhile, the free fatty acids composition for each lipid extract showed all species contained arachidonic acid (C20:4n6) of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of which S. horrens being the highest 42.41% followed by H. atra, 24.76%, H. leucospilota, 23.23% and H. scabra, 19.63%. H. scabra, H. leucospilota and H. atra were rich in palmitic acid (C16:0) of saturated fatty acids (SFA); 52.66%, 35.63% and 34.21%, respectively. Myristic acid (C14:0) of SFA was higher in S. horrens (24.36%). However, the fatty acids eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) [C20:5] were very low for all species; H. scabra (1.12%), H. leucospilota (1.34%), H. atra (0.17%) and S. horrens (0.79%). Docosahexanoic acid (DHA) was only detected in S. horrens, i.e. 0.32%. Thus, the results of this study indicated that different species of sea cucumber varies in its lipid content and free fatty acids composition.Index Terms-Lipid, free fatty acids, sea cucumbers.

“…ARA was the dominant PUFA in all eight commercial species: Stichopus herrmanni, Thelenota ananas, Thelenota anax, Holothuria fuscogilva, H. fuscopunctata, Actinopyga mauritiana, A. caerulea and Bohadschia argus [14]. Arachidonic acid content was remarkably higher than EPA in tropical holothurians, being the major fatty acid in almost of all the species [8]. H. edulis was distributed widely in the tropical region and ARA was higher (16.05%).…”

“…Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) were the primary fatty acid in sea cucumber of which Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) [7] arachidonic acid (ARA) [8], docosaheaxanoic acid (DHA) [9] are the dominant fatty acids being reported across various studies. Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) were detected in the body wall of sea cucumber [6] of which Palmitoleic acid detected as anti-inflammatory effect, anorexic and mitigation on type 2 diabetes [10] and also has potentiality for curing obesity [11].…”

The nutritional values of different species of sea cucumber are greatly concerned because of their dietary and curative properties. In this study, two species of sea cucumber, Holothuria edulis, a low-valued noncommercial species, and Holothuria scabra, a high-valued commercial species were selected to compare its proximate composition and fatty acids. H. edulis a prevalent species in coastal water of Sabah is not commercially importance like H. scabra. Sea cucumbers were captured live from the Sabah marine habitat. All samples were immediately eviscerated, freeze-dried and stored at 4˚C in until analyzed. Silylating agent N, O-Bis(trimethylsilyl) trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) was used to derivitization of fatty acid prior to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. Proximate compositions (%), such as moisture, crude protein, crude lipids and ash were carried using standard methods.Major fatty acids in H. edulis and H. scabra were saturated fatty acid (SFA) accounted for 83.95% and 98.60%, respectively and dominated with Palmitic acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), arachidonic acid of 16.05% was found only in H. edulis, but absent H. scabra. Proximate compositions (dry weight) were varied greatly within these two species. Moisture, crude protein, crude lipids and ash of 85.5%, 70.5%, 1.37% and 1.27% respectively were obtained in H. edulis. On the other hand 84.5% of moisture, 51.2% of crude protein, 0.27% of crude lipids and 4.44% of ashes were determined in H. scabra. Significantly higher protein (p < 0.05) content and detection of PUFA in H. edulis compare to H. scabra could be the choice of option for the utilization of this non commercial species as nutraceutical industry and also alternatives to reduce the pressure on heavily exploited species of H. scabra.

“…A new fatty acid, 7-methyl-6-octadecenoic acid, has also been discovered (Carballeira et al, 1996). The fatty acid compositions of sea cucumbers in markedly different habitats such as coastal regions of the Sea of Okhotsk, which are completely covered by drift ice during the coldest part of the year, are of great interest.There have been a few reports about the fatty acid composition of lipids in the Holothuroidea of the Tropical and Temperate Zones (Carballira et al, 1996;Fredalina et al, 1999;Svetashev et al, 1991;Isay & Busarova, 1984;Svetashev & Busarova, 1984;Chang-Lee et al, 1989). Also, the fatty acid composition of lipids of the Stichopus japonicus caught along the Pacific coast of Southern Hokkaido has been analyzed , but there are no studies concerning the fatty acid composition of the Holothuroidea caught in the colder Sea of Okhotsk.…”

The fatty acid compositions in the body wall, gonads, and alimentary canal of male and female Stichopus japonicus caught in the Sea of Okhotsk off the coast of Abashiri were analyzed to clarify their characteristics. The fatty acid composition was studied also in konowata sold at the market. The analysis was performed by capillary gas chromatography. Major fatty acids that constituted the lipids of the body wall were iso-C15, C16:0, C16:1n-7, C18:0, C18:1n-7, C20:4n-6, C20:5n-3, C23:1n-9, and C22:6n-3. The fatty acid compositions in various tissues were nearly identical between males and females. Although the fatty acid compositions in the body wall and gonads were similar, they markedly differed from the fatty acid composition in the alimentary canal. The iso-C15, C16:0, and C16:1n-7 levels were very high in the body wall, and the C20:1n-9, C20:4n-6, and C20:5n-3 levels were high in the alimentary canal. A very high monoenoic acid content and the absence of polyunsaturated fatty acids with the exception of icosapentaenoic acid were characteristics of the fatty acid composition in konowata.Keywords: sea cucumber, body wall, gonads, alimentary canal, fatty acid, konowata Lipids in marine products are important nutrient components and are related to their deliciousness in season. Lipids are also an important factor in the deterioration of quality of raw sea foods and seafood products. Therefore, the lipid contents and fatty acid composition in marine products is a matter of interest in food science and nutrition. Sea cucumbers are seasoned with vinegar and eaten raw or are processed into foods such as "konowata" by salting the entrails and gonads, "iriko" by drying the muscles, and "kuchiko" by drying the gonads.Some types of sea cucumbers are known to contain considerable quantities of fatty acid C23:1 (n-9), which is absent in other marine animals . A new fatty acid, 7-methyl-6-octadecenoic acid, has also been discovered (Carballeira et al., 1996). The fatty acid compositions of sea cucumbers in markedly different habitats such as coastal regions of the Sea of Okhotsk, which are completely covered by drift ice during the coldest part of the year, are of great interest.There have been a few reports about the fatty acid composition of lipids in the Holothuroidea of the Tropical and Temperate Zones (Carballira et al., 1996;Fredalina et al., 1999;Svetashev et al., 1991;Isay & Busarova, 1984;Svetashev & Busarova, 1984;Chang-Lee et al., 1989). Also, the fatty acid composition of lipids of the Stichopus japonicus caught along the Pacific coast of Southern Hokkaido has been analyzed , but there are no studies concerning the fatty acid composition of the Holothuroidea caught in the colder Sea of Okhotsk.Thus, we evaluated the lipid contents and the fatty acid composition in the body wall, alimentary canal, and gonads of male and female sea cucumbers caught in the Sea of Okhotsk. We also studied fatty acid compositions of salted and matured entrails of sea cucumbers (konowata), and compared them with those of raw sea cucu...
