Recursos en línea: Resumen: One of the few sources of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is fish oil, but considerable variation may exist according to species and season. In this study, the fatty acid profiles of sardine oils from Sardinops sagax caeruleus of the Gulf of California, Mexico, were evaluated in three seasonal catch periods. Oil quality was also evaluated by peroxide and free acid values. The most abundant fatty acids found in the oils were palmitic acid (19.3 percent), oleic acid (14.3 percent), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20.4 percent), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 12.2 percent). There was no significant difference in the composition and quality among the six reduction plants where the samples were obtained. However, a significant difference in the proportion of EPA and DHA in one of the catch seasons analyzed was observed.
