Estimation of nutritional energy values, mineral ratio and mineral safety index in the Royal spiny lobster, Panulirus regius (De Brito Capello, 1864)

Abstract: Royal spiny lobster is a marine crustacean with a significant economic value as a popular consumer product. However, information on the energy-providing nutrients of lobster is scarce, especially on those living in the southern coast of Nigeria. This study provides information about the nutritional quality and metabolizable energy of flesh and shell of the Royal spiny lobster, Panulirus regius. Proximate and mineral compositions were analyzed, while energy contributions, mineral ratio and mineral safety index … Show more

“…The ratios Na/K (2.60-3.87) and Na/Mg (2.24-3.04) in the investigated samples fall within the recommended values of 1.4 -3.4 and 2-6 respectively. This is similar to the observations on the flesh of the Royal Spiny Lobster, Panulirus regius (Moruf, Afolayan, Taiwo, & Ogunbambo, 2021b). Na is regulated by the adrenal hormones and an elevated ratio indicates increased adrenal cortical activity.…”
