Abstract:

The fat content of adult healthy Masked civet and Nutria were measured. The value of iodine, saponification,acid PH composition of fatty acids of grease has been analyzed chemically and by apparatus. The results showed that PH acid of Masked civets fat and Nutrias fat were 0.87 and 1.79,respectively. Iodine value of them were 53.90 and 48.32;saponifications value were 98.80 and 100.23;unsaturation point were 60.05% and 58.85%. The fats of the two kinds of anincls contain the Eicosaietraenoic acid(C-20∶4) which is of great significance for nutrition and metabolism in human body.They could be widely exploited and utilized in health protection and cosmetics industry.

Key words: Masked Civets, Nutrias, Fat, Fatty acid compostion
