Abstract

In the present study, 1H MAS NMR spectra of intact salmon muscle was obtained and the total n-3 fatty acid content was quantified. The data from the MAS NMR analyses were compared to those obtained by estimating the n-3 fatty acid content in extracts from equivalent muscle samples (by 1H NMR and by gas chromatography (GC)). The results from MAS NMR and from 1H NMR were usually in good agreement, while the content of n-3 estimated by GC was in general higher than estimated by the NMR techniques.

HR MAS NMR is a rapid, noninvasive, and nondestructive method, with an experimental time of about 1–2 min. This opens up possibilities to examine the n-3 fatty acids in fish and fish products without any chemical pretreatment of the products, making NMR a valuable tool in the nutritional evaluation and general quality control of fresh and processed fish products.
