“…The results further confirmed the findings that wild fish generally have lower lipid levels than cultured fish [11,24]. However, some wild freshwater fish species from the Brazilian Pantanal exhibited high lipid contents [25]. In general, freshwater fish are typically characterized by low lipid content, although a plenty of researches have reported the effects of numerous factors on fish lipid content [26,27,28].…”

Owing to the favorable effects of essential fatty acids on human health, a great degree of interest on fatty acid profiles and nutritional quality of fish species have been of interest in the recent years. The present study investigated the lipid content, fatty acid profiles and nutritional quality in nine freshwater fish species from the Ganjiang River in the Yangtze basin, China. Results showed that total lipid content of the dorsal muscle was 0.59-2.2% and that was inversely linked to moisture content (r 2 = 0.79, p < 0.01). Wide ranges of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (21.83 to 50.53%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (19.43 to 45.60%) were found. The ratios of n-3 to n-6 PUFA ranged from 0.25 to 1.16 (p < 0.001). N-3 PUFA was dominated by eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids varying from 2.77 to 15.11% of total fatty acids. Indices of atherogenicity and thrombogenicity (IA and IT) based on fatty acid compositions ranged from 0.36 to 0.52 and 0.36 to 0.64 in all species, respectively (p < 0.001). These results indicated fatty acid profiles were different among the fish species and the potential of these species as dietary source of essential fatty acids from the nutritional standpoint.

“…The indexes of atherogenicity (IA) and thrombogenicity (IT) indicate the global dietetic quality of lipids and their potential effects on the development of coronary diseases 43 while the HH ratio considers the specific effect of fatty acids on cholesterol metabolism. 54 As can be observed in Table 4, the values for IA decreased and HH increased, from zero time to treatment I and II in both feeding times; however, the increase and decrease do not provide significant difference between the treatments. On the other hand, a significant difference (p < 0.05) with a decrease was observed in IT from zero time (1.00) and treatment I (0.77) to the treatment II (0.56), at the final of supplementation (30 days), due to the higher content of total PUFAs and n-3 fatty acids in the Nile tilapia fillets as showed in Table 3.…”

In this study, the fatty acid (FA) composition of the Japanese grape (Hovenia dulcis) seed oil (JGSO) was firstly evaluated. It was found that the seed oil is rich in alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), containing approximately 425 mg LNA g -1 of total lipids. A fish diet supplemented with JGSO was prepared and supplied to Nile tilapia to investigate the FA composition of the fillets. For this, Nile tilapia were submitted to two feeding treatments: a control diet with 4.2% of soybean oil, and a diet supplemented with 4.2% of JGSO. The LNA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) values increased significantly (406, 153 and 126%, respectively) with JGSO in the diet and with an increase in feeding time, while the nutritional quality indexes, n-6/n-3 ratio and index of thrombogenicity, decreased 2.8 and 1.4 times, respectively. Thus, the replacement JGSO in the diet raised the nutritional lipid quality in Nile tilapia.Keywords: fatty acids, omega-3, Oreochromis niloticus, supplementation, LNA IntroductionOmega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), especially alpha-linolenic acid (LNA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,, and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA,, have been extensively studied and said to be beneficial to human health. [1][2][3] A high ratio of dietary n-6/n-3 (omega-6/omega-3) has been reported around the world, reaching ratios between 15:1 and 20:1, while the recommended value is between 2:1 and 1:1. 4 This imbalance in the n-6/n-3 ratios is the result of an excess intake of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6 PUFAs) from corn, soybean, and sunflower oils. Furthermore, a high intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) such as myristic acid (14:0), palmitic acid (16:0), and stearic acid (18:0), may contribute to an increase in the indexes of atherogenicity (IA) and thrombogenicity (IT) 6 and to a reduction in the hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic fatty acid ratio (HH). 7Around the world, flaxseed, perilla, and chia are known sources of LNA, [8][9][10] while fish and microalgae oils rank among the most important sources of EPA and DHA. 11,12 The Japanese grape is originally from Japan, but has quickly expanded to other countries, such as India, Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil, due to its easy adaptation to the soil and resistance to cold. 13 The Japanese grape are deciduous trees, growing to 10 to 15 m and reaching 20 to 40 cm in diameter of the trunk, commonly used for ornamental and reforestation purposes, and the wood for production of energy, paper and cellulose. The fruit is a small dry capsule from 6 to 7 mm in diameter containing 2 to 4 seeds, attached to a peduncle, which becomes thickened and fleshy when mature, which is also sweet and pleasant-tasting. The seeds are brown with a circular shape from 4 to 8 mm in diameter.14 The peduncles (pseudofruits) can be consumed in natura or in dehydrated form and are also used for alcoholic fermentation, to produce wine or vinegar. 15,16 According to Bampi et al. 13 the peduncles are rich in sugars and have a high content of dietary fi...

“…The obtained H/H values of 1.41±0.20 and 1.45±0.42 for dorsal and ventral muscles, respectively are higher than those found in other commercially important freshwater fish (Table 3), such as the flatwhiskered catfish (Pinirampus pirinampu) (1.14) (Ramos-Filho et al, 2010), Hypophthalmus sp. (0.75) (Inhamuns & Franco, 2001), pirapitinga (Piaractus brachypomus) (1.29) and sorubim Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum (0.52) (Perea et al, 2008).…”

“…Thus, lower AI and TI values have beneficial effects in preventing coronary artery diseases (Ulbricht & Southgate, 1991). Both dorsal and ventral muscles showed lower AI (0.59±0.08 and 0.53±0.09) and TI (1.02±0.16 and 0.94±0.14) values (Table 3) when comparing to other freshwater fish, such as the P. pirinampu (AI = 0.79; TI = 1.18), jaú (Paulicea luetkeni) (AI = 0.62; TI = 1.00) (RamosFilho et al, 2010), and P. brachypomus (AI = 1.10; TI = 1.49) (Perea et al, 2008), indicating that A. gigas flesh could be beneficial for human health.…”

-The objective of this work was to analyze the proximate and fatty acid composition of the dorsal and ventral muscles of wild pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) captured from a Brazilian Amazonian lake. Dorsal and ventral muscles were dissected out, freeze-dried, vacuum-packed, and had the proximate and fatty acid composition analyzed. Ash, total proteins, and lipids were inversely proportional to moisture and had higher levels in the ventral muscles. Twenty-seven fatty acids were quantified in both muscles without significant differences between them, except for the heneicosylic, palmitoleic, γ-linolenic, and dihomo-γ-linolenic acids. Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were predominant in both muscles. The eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids were quantitatively similar: 9.25 (dorsal) to 10.14 (ventral) and 8.50 (dorsal) to 10.63 (ventral) mg g -1 of total lipids, respectively. The EPA+DHA content of the dorsal and ventral muscles were 113.25 and 165.78 mg 100 g -1 , respectively. The ratios of polyunsaturated/saturated (0.54 and 0.59 for the dorsal and ventral muscles, respectively), n-3/n-6 (0.20 and 0.21), and hypocholesterolemic/ hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (1.41 and 1.45) ratios, as well as the atherogenicity (0.59 and 0.53) and thrombogenicity (1.02 and 0.94) indices, indicate that pirarucu muscle is a good dietary source of EPA+DHA, and its nutritional lipid quality can be beneficial for human health.Index terms: Arapaima gigas, fatty acids, flesh lipid quality, n-3 Hufa, n-3/n-6, nutraceutical fish. Perfis nutricionais e lipídicos dos músculos dorsal e ventral em pirarucus selvagensResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a composição proximal e de ácidos graxos dos músculos dorsal e ventral em pirarucus (Arapaima gigas) selvagens, capturados em um lago amazônico brasileiro. Os músculos dorsal e ventral foram dissecados, liofilizados, embalados a vácuo, e sua composição proximal e de ácidos graxos foram analisadas. Cinzas, proteínas totais e lipídeos foram inversamente proporcionais à umidade e apresentaram teores maiores no músculo ventral. Foram quantificados 27 ácidos graxos em ambos os músculos sem diferença significativa entre eles, exceto para os ácidos heneicosílico, palmitoleico, γ-linolênico e dihomo-γ-linolênico. Ácidos graxos saturados e monoinsaturados predominaram em ambos os músculos. O ácido eicosapentaenoico (EPA) e o docosahexaenoico (DHA) foram quantitativamente similares 9,25 (dorsal) a 10,14 (ventral) e 8,50 (dorsal) a 10,63 (ventral) mg g -1 do total de lipídeos, respectivamente. O conteúdo de EPA+DHA nos músculos dorsal e ventral foi 113,25 e 165,78 mg 100 g -1 , respectivamente. A proporção de ácidos graxos poli-insaturados/saturados (0,54 e 0,59 para os músculos dorsal e ventral, respectivamente), n-3/n-6 (0,20 e 0,21) e hipocolesterolêmicos/hipercolesterolêmicos (1,41 e 1,45), assim como os índices de aterogenicidade (0,59 e 0,53) e trombogenicidade (1,02 e 0,94), indicam que o músculo do pirarucu pode ser considerado uma boa fonte dietética de...
