Abstract
This study was carried out to extract total lipid of two local sea cucumber species, Holothuria scabra and Holothuria leucospilata from Qeshm Island, and the fatty acid composition was determined by capillary gas chromatography. The results show that all species were rich in palmitic acid (C16:0) and arachidonic acid (C20:4n6) of saturated (SFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), respectively. However, the main monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in H. scabra and H. leucospilota were gadoleic acid (C20:1) and cis-oleic acid (C18:1n9c), respectively. The results of this study showed the high content of fatty acids, specially (ω-3) series in H. scabra and H. leucospilata.
