Article Synopsis
- Total lipid and fatty acid composition was analyzed in the muscle and by-products (heads, shells, tails) of two shrimp species, Penaeus kerathurus and Metapenaeus monoceros, from Tunisian coasts.
- Shrimp by-products had lipid levels ranging from 2% to 3.15%, which were higher than the lipid content found in the shrimp muscle itself, with P. kerathurus showing a significant lipid content increase in the South compared to the North.
- Polyunsaturated fatty acids dominated the lipid composition in both species and regions, highlighting key fatty acids like C16:0, C20:5n-3, and C22:6n-3 as significant contributors to their overall lipid profiles.
