Abstract:
Seasonal variations of the fatty acid profile of deep-sea whip lobster Puerulus sewelli (Decapoda, Palinuridae), harvestedfrom the south-west coast of India were compared. Fatty acid contents showed seasonal fluctuations, with eicosapentaenoicacid and docosahexaenoic acid being predominant during the post-monsoon and winter seasons (9-11% of cumulative fattyacids). P. sewelli was found to possess considerably higher C20-22 n-3 fatty acids during these seasons along with balancedn-3/n-6 ( 〉 2) and polyunsaturated/saturated fatty acid ratio (≥1) than those in pre-monsoon. Greater hypocholesterolemic/hypercholesterolemic ratio ( 〉 2.4) and lesser atherogenicity ( 〈 1.8) and thrombogenicity ( 〈 0.3) indices qualify P. sewelli anideal health food. This study comprises the first report on fatty acid profile from commercially important deep-sea whiplobster P. sewelli.
