Abstract
The samples of n-3 PUFA rich sources such as fish and linseed oils used in a series of biological studies were received from reputed manufacturers and subjected to lipid
extraction using transmethylation process and the fatty acids composition of fish and linseed oils were analyzed by gas chromatography technique. The results of this study revealed that the fish oil contained the higher amount of EPA (15.60 per cent) and DHA (9.00 per cent) while linseed oil contained the lower amount of EPA (1.20 per cent) and DHA (0.06 per cent). On the other hand, the linolenic acid content of fish and linseed oils were 1.50 per cent and 53.60 per cent, respectively. The statistical analysis revealed highly significant (P<0.01) difference in linolenic acid content of oils studied in this study.
