Incorporation and profile of fatty acids in tilapia fillets ( Oreochromis niloticus) fed with tung oil Incorporação e perfil de ácidos graxos em filés de tilápia (Oreochromis niloticus) alimentada com óleo de tungue
2013
The acceptance of tung oil enriched diet and the incorporation of conjugated linolenic acid – CLnA into fillets of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) were investigated. The diet was well accepted, and after 10 days CLnA was incorporated into the fillets with a 1.02% content of total fatty acids (FA). In addition, biosynthesis of the conjugated linoleic acid isomers – CLA (0.31% of fillet total FA content) from CLnA, and the presence of alpha-linolenic acid – LNA (1.08% of fillet total FA content), eicosapentaenoic acid – EPA (2.85% of fillet total FA content) and docosahexaenoic acid – DHA (3.08% of fillet total FA content) were observed. Therefore, the consumption of this fish can increase the intake of different FA (CLnA, CLA, LNA, EPA and DHA), which play an important role in human metabolism.
