FATTY ACIDS AND MINERAL CONTENTS ANALYSIS OF SELECTED FINFISHES - Sardinella longiceps AND Scomberomorus guttatus

The marine fishes are extremely contributes to the delivery of fatty acids, macro and micro nutrients in normal food diet, finfishes Sardinella longiceps and Scomberomorus guttatus selected for fatty acids types and minerals composition of S. longiceps, S. guttatus skin muscles were analyzed. The fatty acid composition showed quantitative differences in the percentages of individual acids between the species. Total fatty acids included 41.29% of SFA in S. longicepts, followed by 36.83% in S. guttatus, MUFA content of fatty acids were showed 33.23% in S. guttatus followed by 22.53% in S. longiceps, PUFA fatty acids was high in S. longicepts 36.35%, followed by S. guttatus 28.43%. The minerals (macro, micro and trace mineral) content was estimated, highest amount of sodium content was estimated 432 mg/100 g dry weight basis in S. guttatus followed by in S. longiceps 323 mg/100 g, elevated amount of potassium content from 1251 mg/100 g in S. guttatus followed by in S. longiceps 639 mg/100 g, calcium level uppermost in S. longiceps noticed 269 mg/100 g followed by 167 mg/100 g. Concluded fatty acids, minerals are involved for growth and developments of living beings.
