Abstract
The fatty acid composition of Bryde’s whale oil obtained through commercial whaling in 2019 was investi- gated and compared to the results of a reference study conducted in 1979. The measured proportion of long-chain fatty acids was higher than that obtained in the previous study. The proportion of the polyunsatu- rated fatty acids detected was approximately 1.5 times higher than that detected in the previous study. Bryde’s whale oil, as a new material, is expected to have applications in the development of healthy foods.
