Abstract

Effects of weight and body parts of Siamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) on the nutritional content

Highlights

Fish have been a good source of protein, fat, vitamin, and mineral for the human body
The fat in fish is generally unsaturated fatty acids, safe to eat because the cholesterol content and saturated fatty acid are less than other animals (Almunady et al, 2011)
Siamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is one of the consumption fish that has high calories and proteins as well as low cholesterol levels compared with farm animal meat, so good to be consumed for health (Prahasta and Masturi, 2008)

Summary

Introduction

Fish have been a good source of protein, fat, vitamin, and mineral for the human body. The fat in fish is generally unsaturated fatty acids, safe to eat because the cholesterol content and saturated fatty acid are less than other animals (Almunady et al, 2011). Siamese catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) is one of the consumption fish that has high calories and proteins as well as low cholesterol levels compared with farm animal meat, so good to be consumed for health (Prahasta and Masturi, 2008). The production of industrial-scale catfish is generally a catfish that has been processed into a fillet (boneless fish meat) and has a higher selling value and more attractive to global consumers, especially in the US and Europe. There are many varieties of catfish products, such as frozen headless and no tail, skin on fillets, skinless fillets, and breaded fillets (Suryaningrum, 2008)
