Abstract

The levels of fatty acids, phospholipids and sterols were determined in the skin and muscle of Pellenula afzeliusi using gas chromatograph. Results showed crude fat varied from 0.697-7.476 g/100 g; SFA varied from 30.3-34.8 % of total fatty acids, total unsaturated fatty acids varied from 57.3-61.2 %, PUFA range was 12.1-17.8 % and PUFA/SFA ranged from 0.348-0.587. Both skin and muscle had high levels of n-6 fatty acids but low in n-3 fatty acids. The correlation coefficient was significantly and positively high at r = 0.05 in the fatty acids. In the phospholipids, cephalin was highest in skin but lecithin was highest in the muscle with respective values of 965 and 432 (mg/100 g). The sterol values in the skin varied between 111-112 (111.5±0.58) mg/100 g and muscle was 19.5-19.6 (19.6±0.058) mg/100 g. Whilst 100 g skin would provide 5.233 g fatty acids, 100 g muscle would provide 0.488 g fatty acids.
