Determination of fatty acids and evaluation of nutritional quality of Barbus lacerta from Murat River, Türkiye

Abstract

The ultimate goal, to investigate for differences in seasonally fatty acid composition of liver, muscle and gonad from Barbus lacerta females’ fish, bought from fishermen who hunt from the Murat River, but also to reveal the food quality in edible muscle tissue with nutritional quality index fatty acids. Fatty acid composition of B. lacerta varied different among the three tissues/organs and the most important difference was seen between muscle and liver. B. lacerta had found higher proportions in 14:0, 16:0, EPA and DHA in muscle and liver than the gonads. In contrast, the gonads had higher proportions of ARA because of the important role of ARA in the ovulation processes (late winter-early spring). In parallel, there were changes in the food quality indexes (AI, TI, h/H, DFA, OFA, ω6/ω3, DHA+EPA, HPI, PUFA/SFA) used based on fatty acids in determining the food quality in edible muscle tissue. The highest change was in AI (Atherogenicity index), although there were no significant seasonal differences. The lowest AI values as good quality index was determined in spring (0.42) and. winter (0.41). The food quality index that stood out in each season was different. Therefore, it can be suggested that B. lacerta can be consumed as a high quality and healthy food, partially except for summer.

Murat Nehri, Türkiye'den Barbus lacerta'nın yağ asitlerinin belirlenmesi ve besin kalitesinin değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Murat Nehri'nde avlanan balıkçılardan satın alınan dişi B. lacerta balıklarının karaciğer, kas ve gonadlarındaki mevsimsel yağ asidi bileşimlerindeki farklılıkları araştırmak ve ayrıca besin kalitesi indeksi yağ asitleri ile yenilebilir kas dokusundaki besin kalitesinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. B. lacerta'nın yağ asiyi bileşimi üç doku/organ arasında farklılık göstermiştir ve en önemli fark kas ve karaciğer arasında görülmüştür. B. lacerta, kas ve karaciğerlerinde gonadlarından daha yüksek oranlarda 14:0, 16:0, EPA ve DHA bulmuştur. Buna karşılık, ARA'nın yumurtlama süreçlerindeki (kış sonu-ilkbahar başı) önemli rolü nedeniyle gonadlar daha yüksek ARA oranlarına sahipti. Buna paralel olarak, yenilebilir kas dokusundaki besin kalitesini belirlemede yağ asitlerine dayalı olarak kullanılan besin kalitesi indekslerinde (AI, TI, h/H, DFA, OFA, ω6/ωω3, DHA+EPA, HPI, PUFA/SFA) değişiklikler olmuştur. En yüksek değişim AI (Aterojenite indeksi) da olmakla birlikte önemli mevsimsel farklılıklar yoktu. Besin kalite indeksi olarak en düşük AI değerleri ilkbaharda (0,42) ve kışın (0,41) belirlendi. Her mevsimde öne çıkan gıda kalite indeksi farklıydı. Bu nedenle, B. lacerta'nın yüksek kaliteli ve sağlıklı bir gıda olarak tüketimi kısmen yaz hariç önerilebilir.
