- Abstract
The study was designed to assess the seasonal variations in the quality and lipid profile of meat Trachurus mediterraneus harvested in the Bulgarian coast of Black Sea. The trial period lasted from May to October and the sampling was carried out in the area of Varna Bay. Lipid extraction was done according to the Bligh and Dyer method. The fatty acid composition was determined by GC/MS. The levels of saturated (SFA), monounsaturated (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) varied between 39.88-43.16; 27.87-31.25; and 28.87-28.97%, respectively, in total fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). Regarding to the lipid contents, AI, TI and h/H levels, (n - 6)/(n - 3) and P/S ratios we can conclude that this Black Sea fish species can be considered a source of high quality fatty acids and have good nutritional quality.
