Commercial fish oil (softgel) samples are coded A and the fatty acid profile is described, including saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and compound unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). The results show that imported fish oil (softgel) had a golden yellow color, no fishy odor, and contained SFA 50.48%, MUFA 25.44%, and PUFA 12.65%. Omega-3 fatty acid is 5.34%.
