| Summary: | The polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) were known for its function that can enhance human
health. It is well known for its function that can reduce the cardiovascular diseases, improve
the fetal development and much more. Therefore many researches had been done towards the
PUFAs. Marine fish were known for its Omega 3 composition. Besides Omega 3, Omega 6
also one types of PUFAs that will give benefits towards the human health. DHA and EPA are
the PUFAs that fall into the group of Omega 3. The extraction of the fish oil had been
analysed using the Bligh and Dyers method. The composition of the extracted oil had been
analysed using the Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry. Therefore, the qualitative
analysis of the composition of PUFA in the Tenualosa toli (Terubok) had been done. The
Tenualosa toil (Terubok) obtained from the fisherman with enough information of the place of
captured. |
