AI Article Synopsis
- * Using GCMS analysis, 16 fatty acids were identified in the visceral wastes, with varying chain lengths and compositions between the two fish types.
- * Tainha has a higher amount of saturated fatty acids, while Tambaqui is richer in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, although both share similarities in certain fatty acid compositions.
Article Abstract
The commercial activity of the grey mullet (known as Tainha: TAI) and Tambaqui (TAM) generates tons of waste that can be turned into valuable resources. Therefore, this work aimed to chemically characterize and quantify the fatty acids profiles of the two fishes. GCMS quantification was performed by using calibration curves built from a standard that contains 19 FAME. The analysis revealed that visceral wastes from both fishes contain 16 fatty acids (FA) consisting of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA) and polyunsaturated (PUFA). However, their compositions were different as FA side chains in TAI and TAM contain 12 to 20 and 13 to 22 carbon atoms, respectively. Also, the SFA amount in TAI was greater than in TAM. On the other hand, TAM is richer in MUFA and PUFA compared to TAI. Both have similar chemical compositions of -3 and -6 in PUFA and -5, -7, and -9 in MUFA.
