Concentrations of beneficial nutrients in fish

Scope
The variable describes concentrations of beneficial nutrients in various fish species

Definition

Concentrations of beneficial nutrients in fish extracted from , where they are indicated as mass units/100 g fish analysed.

• Omega-3 fatty acids, mg/g, as sum of n-3 PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) precursors ALA (alphalinoleic acid), EPA (eicosapanthenic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). DPA (docosapentaenoic acid) not available in the database.
  • Vitamin D, ug/g
  • Vitamin E, mg/g
  • Selenium, ug/g
  • Iodine, ug/g
  • Group B vitamins, mg/g, as sum of B1 (tiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxin), B12 (cyanokobalamin) and niacin as its eqvivalents NE. Incorporation does not reflect any functional entity (its usefulness needs to be further reassessed).

Causality

List of parents:

• None

Data

Concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids in fish extracted from , where they are indicated as mass units/100 g fish analysed. Criteria for choosing the fish preparation method used prior the analyses:

1. one that is presumed as a common one used by the Finnish consumers (roasting), and
2. also as available for most of the fish in the database.
