Abstract:

Bioactive substances in horse fat tissue such as unsaturated fatty acids and vitamins were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. Results showed that horse fat tissue contained over 60% of unsaturated fatty acids and over 20% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The contents of fat soluble vitamins, namely vitamins A and E, were 7.2 and 88.6 mg/kg, respectively. These results demonstrate that horse fat tissue is a good source of natural antioxidants.

Key words: horse fat tissue, fatty acid, fat soluble vitamins, gas chromatography (GC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
