ABSTRACT
In this study, seasonal changes in the muscle tissue, total lipid, and fatty acid composition of phospholipid (PL), triacylglycerol (TAG), and phospholipid classes of female Capoeta umbla were investigated. Fatty acid compositions of TAG and PL classes were found to be different in C. umbla muscle. Percentages of myristic acid, 16:1n-7, 18:1n-9, monounsaturated fatty acid (ΣMUFA), linoleic acid (18:2n-6), and linolenic acid (18:3n-3) were found to be higher in TAG than the values determined in PL classes. In PL classes, 16:0, 18:0, arachidonic acid (20:4n-6, AA), EPA (20:5n-3), DHA (22:6n-3), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (ΣPUFA) were higher than TAG fraction.
