The n-3/n-6 ratio in raw kutum roach was 3.89 (Table 2). This ratio
ranged from 0.24 to 4.1 in different fish species. Boiling had no
significant effect on the n-3/n-6 ratio. The n-3/n-6 ratio of baked,
microwaved and fried samples decreased significantly (P < 0.05),
but this reduction was higher in fried fish than the other cooking
methods. Despite the decrease of this ratio during different cooking
procedures, all fish samples had a n-3/n-6 ratio within the
WHO recommended range (Gladyshev, Sushchik, Gubanenko,
Demirchieva, & Kalachova, 2006).
