THE TRIGLYCERIDO FATTY ACID FROM HEAT LIPIDS OF PUNTIUS SARANA AND THEIR VARIATION WITH DIFFERENT SIZE

Abstract

The triglyceride fatty acid components from the heart lipid of Puntius
sarana of different sizes have been characterized by thin-layer and gas liquid
chromatography. C1 0 to C 24 acids including both odd-numbered and branchedchain acids were detected. The major constituents were ante-iso C 10, C1 0 , C12,2, C14, C, 6' CI6:J, C17, C1 8 , C1s:b C1s: 2, Cls:3 and C2o:4 while twenty other acids were detected in lower proportion. The composition of these acids and their variation with size of fish have been investigated and discussed.
