“…Pitu prawn cholesterol content, expressed on wet basis, was 105 AE 4 and 133 AE 6 mg/100 g in raw and fried samples, respectively. The cholesterol content found in pitu prawn was lower than previously reported in the literature (Bragagnolo & Rodriguez-Amaya, 2001;Dashti, Al-Awadi, Sawaya, Al-Otaibi, & Al-Sayegh, 2003). Sampaio, Bastos, Soares, Queiroz, and Torres (2006) observed variations in cholesterol content from 74 to 248 mg/100 g in salted and dried prawns.…”
