Abon ikan (fish floss/shredded fish) commonly processed by deep frying in cooking oil after fish meat were steamed and mixed with condiments. Deep frying technique used in abon ikan processing caused high rancidity risk of abon ikan during storage. In this research, deep frying and roasting method were compared. Fresh catfish (Clarias gariepinus) were used as raw material, after steamed and mixed with condiments, then mixed dough were processed with the treatments (roasted on pan or deep fried with frying oil). Cholesterol content was tested by Bohac test. Fatty acid composition was analyzed with Gas Chromatography. Roasted abon ikan contained moisture, fat and protein about 9.94%, 22.39% and 29.66% respectively while fried abon ikan contained about 4.98%, 23.19% and 27.50% respectively. Roasted abon ikan contained cholesterol about 0.28 mg/g and fried abon ikan contained about 0.74 mg/g. Fatty acid profile analysis show that in both samples unsaturated fatty acid were dominated by oleic acid and linoleic acid while saturated fatty acid were dominated by palmitic acid. Roasted abon ikan were lower in palmitic acid and oleic acid content but higher in palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid. Sensory analysis showed that roasted abon ikan gave better texture, flavor and odor while deep fried abon ikan was better in appearance.

The present study describes the variation in lipid components from 15 species of seaweeds belonging to the Chlorophyta, Ochrophyta, and Rhodophyta phyla collected in tropical (Indonesia) and temperate (Japan) areas. Analyses were performed of multiple components, including chlorophylls, carotenoids, n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and alpha tocopherol (α-Toc). Chlorophyll (Chl) and carotenoid contents varied among phyla, but not with the sampling location. Chl a and b were the major chlorophylls in Chlorophyta. Chl a and Chl c were the main chlorophylls in Ochrophyta, while Chl a was the dominant chlorophylls in Rhodophyta. β-Carotene and fucoxanthin were detected as major seaweed carotenoids. The former was present in all species in a variety of ranges, while the latter was mainly found in Ochrophyta and in small quantities in Rhodophyta, but not in Chlorophyta. The total lipids (TL) content and fatty acids composition were strongly affected by sampling location. The TL and n-3 PUFAs levels tended to be higher in temperate seaweeds compared with those in tropical seaweeds. The major n-3 PUFAs in different phyla, namely, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and stearidonic acid (SDA) in Ochrophyta, α-linolenic acid (ALA) and SDA in Chlorophyta, and EPA in Rhodophyta, accumulated in temperate seaweeds. Chlorophylls, their derivatives, and carotenoids are known to have health benefits, such as antioxidant activities, while n-3 PUFAs are known to be essential nutrients that positively influence human nutrition and health. Therefore, seaweed lipids could be used as a source of ingredients with health benefits for functional foods and nutraceuticals., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.
