Assessment of Lipid Health and Food Quality Indices of Shabut Fish (Arabibarbus grypus Heckel, 1843): The Sample of Uluçay Stream (Siirt)

Abstract

Shabut fish (Arabibarbus grypus Heckel, 1843) is a popular and preferred fish species in Siirt region. The estimates in the samples taken from the fishermen were based on the fatty acid data of the muscle tissues. It was determined that H/H, beneficial for human health, was between 2.65-2.71%; HPI, health promoting index, was between 2.82-4.23% and NVI, nutritive value index, was between 1.93-2.05%. The profile index value PI of the fish was 6.28%, Fulton coefficient (FC) was 1.23% and quality index (Kiselev) value QI was 2.04%. TI (thickness index) was calculated as 78.52% and FI (fleshy) index as 20.06%. Saturated fatty acid (SFA) in January-November (2023) varied between 23.82%-34.53%, monounsaturated fatty acid MUFA between 45.96%-51.49% and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) between 22.63%-30.50%. Omega n3/n6 mean for the whole year was 1.33. Sanogenic index values of AI (Atherogenic index) and TI (Thrombogenic index) were found to be between 0.40-0.45% and 0.35-0.42%, respectively. The results of the study concluded that Shabut fish (A.grypus) is beneficial for human health.

Şabut balığının (Arabibarbus grypus Heckel, 1843) Lipit Sağlık ve Besin Kalite İndeksleri Değerlendirmesi: Uluçay Suyu (Siirt) Örneği

Abstract

Şabut balığı (Arabibarbus grypus Heckel, 1843), Siirt yöresinde beğenilerek tercih edilen bir balık türüdür. Balıkçılardan alınan örneklerdeki hesaplamalar, kas dokularının yağ asidi verilerine dayanarak yapılmıştır. İnsan sağlığına yararlı h/H, %2.65-2.71; sağlığı geliştiren indeks HPI, %2.82-4.23 ve besleyici değer indeksi BDİ (NVI) ise %1.93-2.05 arasında olduğu kaydedilmiştir. Balığın profil indeks değeri PI %6.28, Fulton katsayısı (FC) %1.23; kalite indeks (Kiselev) değeri QI ise %2.04 olarak belirlenmiştir. TI (kalınlık indeksi) %78.52, FI (fleshy) indeksi ise %20.06 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ocak-Kasım aylarındaki (2023) doymuş yağ asidi (SFA) %23.82-%34.53; tekli doymamış yağ asidi MUFA %45.96 - %51.49 ve çoklu doymamış asidi (PUFA) ise %22.63- %30.50 arasında değişkenlik göstermiştir. Tüm yıldaki Omega n3/n6 ortalaması 1.33’tür. Sanojenik indeks değerlerinden AI (Aterojenik indeks) %0.40–0.45 ve TI (Trombojenik indeks) ise %0.35 – 0.42 arasında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre Şabut balığı (A.grypus), insan sağlığı açısından yarayışlı olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.
