Abstract

<p>Flying fish are found in waters of eastern Indonesia, which until now is still limited information<br />about nutritional content. The purpose of this research was determine the composition of<br />fatty acids, amino acids, total carotenoids, α-tocopherol flying fish eggs (Hyrundicthys sp.).<br />The composition of fatty acid was measured by gas chromatography (GC), while amino acids,<br />total carotenoids, α-tocopherol was measured by High performanced Liquid Chromatography<br />(HPLC). Egg contained 22 fatty acids such as saturated fatty acid 29.71%, monounsaturated fatty<br />acid 7.86%, and polysaturated fatty acid 13.64%. The result showed that eggs flying fish contained<br />17 amino acids, such as essential amino acid 14.96% and non-essential amino acids 20.27%. Eggs<br />contained a total carotenoid of 245.37 ppm. α-tocopherol content of flying fish eggs by 1.06 ppm.<br />Keywords: Amino acids, carotenoid total, fatty acid, flying fish egg, α-tocopherol</p>
