Fatty acids
The fatty acid results of the sample groups treated with different lipid
extraction methods from Schizochytrium sp. are shown in Table 1
and Table 2. Palmitic acid (16:0) was the highest fatty acid in the
saturated fatty acid group. Palmitic acid was detected in the range of
54.90 ± 0.17-74.86 ± 2.88% in the sample groups and the highest value
was in the SC group (P < 0.05). The highest saturated
fatty acid after palmitic acid was miristic acid (14:0) in the range of
4.16 ± 0.01-5.55 ± 0.15%. Among the monounsaturated fatty acids,
miristoleic acid (14:1) was found in the highest amount (4.29 ±
0.95-5.86 ± 0.16%). The highest polyunsaturated fatty acid was
determined as DHA (22:6) with the range of 4.58 ± 2.44-19.25 ± 0.09%.
The highest and lowest values were observed in the BDE and SC groups,
respectively (P < 0.05). n-6/n-3 was in the range of
0.06 ± 0.00-0.09 ± 0.00 and the highest ƩPUFA and Ʃn-3 was in the BDE
group with 20.87 ± 0.04% and 19.53 ± 0.09%, respectively. The lowest
ƩPUFA and Ʃn-3 was also in the SC group with 4.91 ± 0.23 and 4.58 ±
2.44%, respectively. ƩSFA and ƩMUFA were in the range of 67.08 ± 0.16%
- 85.82 ± 3.90% and 7.38 ± 0.01-10.53 ± 0.02%, respectively. The
highest ƩPUFAs were obtained in the BD groups, and the highest ƩPUFA in
the BDE group was statistically different from the other groups.
PUFA/SFA was detected in the range of 0.06 ± 0.03-0.31 ± 0.00 in the
lipid extraction groups.
