GC-MS evaluation of Fatty acid constituents from various tissues of Macrobrachium scabriculum
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Macrobrachium scabriculum is a tastiest freshwater prawn belongs to the family Palaemonidae available throughout the year in the river Cauvery. The present study deals with the extraction and GC-MS analysis of fatty acid constituents from various tissues of prawn, such as haemolymph, muscle tissue, gonad and hepatopancreas. The result of the present study reveals that there were 14 types of bioactive components have been identified in GC- MSanalysis based on retention time, molecular formula, molecular weight and peak area. The major components such as 9-Octadecenal (5.78%), 7,11-hexa decadienal (3.77%), Methylsalicylate (3.66%), Oxirane tetradecyl (2.14%), 3,5-methyl-5-hexane-3-1 (1.02%) and heptanoic acid 9-decen-1 olester (1.01%) and some minor components were also identified. Among the total fatty acid content polyunsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids showed variations among the tissue.
