Maktak

Maktak (bahasa Inuit Inuktitut: ᒪᖅᑕᖅ maqtaq Siglitun: ᒪᒃᑖᖅ maktaaq, bahasa Inggeris: muktukcode: en is deprecated ) ialah kepingan kulit dan lemak ikan paus yang dimakan dalam kalangan orang Inuit dan Chukchi yang mendiami kawasan Artik Hemisfera Utara. Spesies paus Greenland (Balaena mysticetus) merupakan jenis paus paling dikehendaki, namun paus beluga dan narwhal juga boleh diburu untuk tujuan ini.

Kulit berlemak ini sering dimakan secara mentah selepas diburu, namun ia boleh juga dimasak secara goreng^[1] atau dijadikan jeruk.^[2] Bahan buruan ini juga boleh diproses sepertimana yang dilakukan di Greenland.^[3]

Khasiat

Kulit paus mengandungi kadar vitamin C setinggi 38 mg per 100 gram;^[4]^[5] malah ia juga pernah disyorkan kepada para pengembara Artik British untuk merawat penyakit skurvi.^[6] Lemak terkandung juga arat dengan vitamin D.^[7]

Walau bagaimanapun, bahan logam beracun seperti raksa dan kadmium juga boleh terkumpul dalam organ dan lemak ikan-ikan paus ini.^[8]
