(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2022-06) Shanuke,D. S; Marapana,R. A. U. J; Hettiarachchi,S; Edirisinghe,E. M. R. K. B
Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in fish oil (FO) are highly susceptible to oxidation. Natural and synthetic antioxidants are effectively applied to stabilize FO against oxidation. This study was focused to evaluate the synergistic antioxidant effect of three plant extracts (1% w/v) prepared from Plectranthus amboinicus (Country borage, K), Moringa oleifera (Drumstick, M) and Ocimum sanctum Linn (Tulsi, T).
Risk-benefit analysis of heavy metals and fatty acids in selected food fish of Sri Lanka
(Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2022-06) Jayakody,J. A. K. S; Senevirathne,S. A; Senarathna,L; Edirisinghe,E. M. R. K. B
Beneficial effects on human health by consumption of omega-3 fatty acids may be challenged by the presence of heavy metals (HMs) in fish. This study focused on comparing fatty acid composition (FAC) and HMs in fish lipids (FL) of twenty-seven fish species (N=2) from Trincomalee and quantitative estimation of the risk -benefit.
