Abstract

Numerous studies on the beneficial effects of omega-3 fatty acids—specifically eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), atherogenicity (AI), and thrombogenicity indices (TI)—on human health have been conducted. The fatty acid profiles and meat quality indices of commercial carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) purchased from fish stalls in Birecik, Şanlıurfa, were determined. In addition to the health indices AI and TI, lipid quality parameters such as the HH ratio, which evaluates cholesterol metabolism, and the HPI, which promotes health, were also examined. The H/H, HPI, AI, TI, and nutritional value index (NVI) of the samples are determined as 2.36, 2.86, 0.45, 0.41, and 1.69, respectively. The omega-3/n-6 ratio is determined to be 1.33. This study aims to determine the lipid quality and health-related indices of common carp (C. carpio) were collected, in the context of human nutrition.

Özet

Omega 3 yağ asitlerinin, Eikosapentanoik asit (EPA), Dokozahexaenoik asit (DHA), Aterojenisite (AI) ve Trombojenisite endekslerinin (TI) insan sağlığına yararlı olduğuna dair birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Şanlıurfa, Birecik'te balık tezgahlarından satın alınan ticari sazanların (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) yağ asidi ve et kalite endeksleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada, AI ve TI sağlık endekslerinin yanı sıra, kolesterol metabolizmasını değerlendiren HH oranı ve sağlığı geliştiren HPI gibi lipit kalite parametreleri de incelenmiştir. Örneklerin H/H, HPI, AI, TI ve besleyici değer endeksi (NVI) sırasıyla 2.36, 2.86, 0.45, 0.41 ve 1.69 olarak belirlenmiştir. Omega n-3/n-6 değeri ise 1.33 olarak saptanmıştır. Bu çalışma, insan beslenmesi bağlamında, sazan balığının (C. carpio) lipit kalitesini ve sağlıkla ilgili endeksleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
