Abstract: Salmon oil was extracted via Bligh-Dyer method,and its fatty acid compositions were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Results showed that 25 fatty acids are identified,inculding 16 unsaturated fatty acids,whose total relative content accounts for 71.90% of the total fatty acid content. The percentages of eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) are 9.46% and 11.77% respectively,and 15-tetracosenoic acid(NA) exists in salmon oil.

Key words: salmon, fatty acid, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
