Abstract

In the present study, the amount of proximate composition (protein, lipid, moisture, and ash) and the profile (quantity and quality) of fatty acids and amino acids in different parts of bigeye ilisha (Ilisha megaloptera) including (backbone, head, abdominal fin and viscera, caudal fin and fillet) were measured. The results of proximate composition showed that the amount of these compounds in different parts differed significantly and in many cases, the amount of macronutrients in waste parts was higher than fillet. The results of the analysis of fatty acids showed that different parts of the bigeye ilisha contain high levels of lipids rich in omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs) and long chain monounsaturated fatty acids (LC MUFAs). Among PUFAs, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) had the highest percentages compared to other polyunsaturated fatty acids. The highest amount of EPA and DHA was found in the abdominal fin and viscera, respectively, equal to 1.986 g/100g (13.61% of total fatty acids) and 5.124 g/100g (35.11%). The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids (n-3/n-6) was different in different parts of the body, and the highest ratio was 17.433 in the abdominal fin and viscera. The highest percentage of the total essential amino acids was also present in the abdominal fin and viscera (43.14%). The lowest percentage of essential amino acids with the amount of 39.66% was found in the caudal fin. The amount of all essential amino acids in all cuts of bigeye ilisha was significantly higher than the amount recommended by FAO/WHO. The results of the present study showed that different parts of bigeye ilisha can be an ideal source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids.
