Publication date: 2015 Source:Procedia Food Science, Volume 3 Author(s): Magdalena Latuihamallo , Dulmi’ad Iriana , Danny Apituley The aim was to analyze the amino acid and fatty acid of abalone Haliotis squamata cultured in different aquaculture systems. The percentage of total amino acid of abalone cultured in laboratory, floating cage, and longline system valued 11.02%, 9.53% and 8.24%. respectively. Abalone contained 14 saturated fatty acids and 16 unsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fatty acids of abalone were dominated by palmitenoic acid (C16:0) and steraenoic acid (C18:0). The high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids in abalone were oleat acid (C18:1n9), linolenic acid (C18:3n3), arachidonoic acid (C20:4n6) and eicosapentaenoic acid/EPA (C20:5n3).
