LIPID HEALTH INDEX IN FISH and NUTRACEUTICAL NUTRITION
Keywords:
Yağ asitleri, sağlık indeksleri, HPI, besin indeksleri, insan sağlığıAbstract
Gıda kaynaklarımızdan balık ve diğer su ürünleri, içerdiği terapötik etkilere sahip biyotik bileşenler nedeniyle insan sağlığı ve beslenmesi açısından günümüzdeki önemi giderek artmaktadır. Yağ asitleri, enerji verici özelikleriyle birlikte vücut metabolizmasında düzenleyicilik ve sinyal iletişimi gibi çeşitli fonksiyonları vardır. Su ürünleri, içerdiği sağlık ve besin kalite değerleri yanı sıra uygun fiyatlı olması nedeniyle de tercih edilmiştir. Balıklar, kapsadığı fosfolipit, çoklu doymamış yağ asitleri ve mineral maddeler nedeniyle temel besin kaynağıdır. Balık ve deniz ürünleri, EPA ve DHA gibi önemli yağ asitleri içerir.
Balıklarla ilgili güncel çalışmalarda, yağ asitlerindeki aterojenik indeks (AI), trombojenik indeks (TI), hipokolesterolemik/ hiperkolesterolemik (H/H) oranı, sağlığı geliştiren indeks (HPI), ARA/EPA oranı ve et-lipit kalite indeksi (FLQ) değerleri vurgulanmıştır. Bu çalışma, lipitlerin insan sağlığı ve besin kalitesi değeri ilgili kısa bir derleme sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.
