Study on ω-fatty acids from Malaysian giant mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri) fish oil

The main aim of the present study is to look into the composition of Malaysian giant mudskipper lipid which might be useful to human health by looking into the ratio of ω-fatty acids present in P.schlosseri oil. Lipid from the fish flesh was extracted using the Folch method and the fatty acid compos...
