 ABSTRACT

The present study was planned to find out the total lipid content and fatty acid composition of head, liver and intestine of Cyprinus carpio and Ctenopharyngodon idella under three different weight categories because processing waste is mainly disposed. The higest total lipid contents in head, liver and intestine from Cyprinus carpio and Ctenopharyngodon idella were recorded as 17.00 ± 0.57%,16.00± 0.57%,29.66± 1.20%  and 22.73± 0.24%, 22.76± 0.23, 30.06± 0.16%,  respectively in 751-1000g weight group when compared with 250-500g and 501-750g weight groups.  Highest total PUFAs were recorded as 21.45±1.12% in head of Cyprinus carpio as compared to Ctenopharyngodon idella i.e. 12.69±0.17 in maximum weight group. However in liver these were highest 69.23 ± 0.27 % (250-500g) in C. carpio as compared to 36.59 ± 0.14% ( 501-750g) in  C. idella, similar pattern was observed in case of intestine. Monounsaturated fatty acids and Saturated fatty acids were also observed in head, intestine and liver of all the three weight groups of both the species.  Thus, it can be concluded that the processing waste of two Chinese carps is a rich source of total lipids and essential fatty acids, the polyunsaturated fatty acids, in particular.

Key words: Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idella, Processing waste, Total lipids, Fatty acid composition.
