Abstract
FA profiles of catfish liver oils were analyzed after microwave-assisted (without solvent extraction) and/or conventional (with solvent extraction) preparation methods. Microwave heating of the samples was performed at 100, 80, 60, or 40% power at 1,000 W and 2,450 MHz, each for 80, 60, 40, or 20 s. Significant differences in the content of recovered FA were observed among the microwave-heated samples, except for C20:0 and C20:4. Recovery of C16:0, C20:0, and C20:4 from the samples analyzed by the microwave-assisted method was lower than that of the samples analyzed by the conventional method. Much greater recovery was observed for C18:1, C18:2, and C22:6; however, the recovery was not different from or was only slightly lower than that of the conventional method when microwave heating was set at 40% power for 20 s. This was also observed for the total unsaturated or saturated FA. Compared to other microwave treatments, heating at 100% power for 80 s yielded the greatest recovery of C14:0, C18:0, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, C20:1, C20:2, and C22:6.
