The distribution of fatty acid species at the (sn-1, 3) position or the (sn-2) position of triacylglycerol (TAG) in natural fats and oils has already been analysed by many researchers and several interesting results have been reported. However, most of these reports only focused on the distribution of fatty acids at the or positions in TAG, and did not take account of the combination of fatty acids in the TAG, i.e., the TAG positional isomers. In this study, the actual ratios of TAG positional isomer pairs, consisting of palmitic acid and highly unsaturated fatty acid (HUFA) such as DHA or EPA, in fish and marine mammals were investigated using a high-performance liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation-mass spectrometry (HPLC/APCI-MS) system equipped with tandem jointed non-endcapped polymeric ODS columns. The results show that for combinations of DHA or EPA with two palmitic acids in the TAG of marine mammals, binding was almost all at the alpha position. In contrast, binding of DHA or EPA was mainly at the beta position in fish. The preferred DHA and EPA positions in TAG were the same in the same marine mammal or fish. The binding position tendency of HUFA in TAG positional isomers consisting of two HUFAs and one palmitic acid was the same as that for combinations of one HUFA and two palmitic acids. These results were interpreted as showing that the preferred fatty acid species of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase and 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase in marine mammals are different to those in fish and other animals, or that diacylglycerol acyltransferase in marine mammals favours 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol formed from 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphatidate if HUFA is the reaction substrate.
