Lipid and tocopherol composition of farm-raised striped and hybrid striped bass
1Department of Food Science and Technology, University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station, Griffin 30223-1797.
Abstract:
1. Hybrid striped bass (HB) were heavier and fatter than striped bass (SB) at harvest. 2. Total lipid, triacylglycerol and phospholipid fractions from muscle tissue of HB were characterized as having significantly larger quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids than SB, while SB contained larger quantities of omega 3 fatty acids (specifically 22:6 and 20:5) than HB. 3. HB muscle tissue contained 14.99 and 11.42 micrograms/g dry weight of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol, respectively, while SB muscle tissue contained 38.77 and 7.15 micrograms/g dry weight of alpha- and gamma-tocopherol, respectively.
