Proximate composition and mineral contents of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) breast meat, claw meat and hepatopancreas

Abstract: The objective of this study was to determine the nutritional composition of the breast, claw meat and hepatopancreas of the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus). Samples were subjected to proximate (protein, fat, ash and moisture) and calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium (Ca, Mg, P, K and Na) analyses. Protein, fat, ash and moisture of the breast, claw meat and hepatopancreas of the blue crab averaged 19.05, 0.59, 2.10 and 76.85 g/100 g, respectively. The results have revealed that this species is a… Show more

“…Crude protein content of muscle averaged between 74.33%-88.35% and together with lower content of crude lipid (3.82%-4.07%) in dry weight basis. These results were similar to those of other reported crab species, which were determined to be 80.60%-88.97%, 2.00%-4.25% of crude protein and crude lipid in dry weight, respectively (Skonberg & Perkins, 2002;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Maulvault et al, 2012). Differences in proximate composition were observed among the sampled populations from three fishing locations.…”

“…In the last decades, the chemical composition and nutritional value of crustaceans have been investigated intensively (Skonberg & Perkins, 2002;Çelik et al, 2004;Naczk et al, 2004;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Barrento et al, 2009a;Barrento et al, 2009b;Barrento et al, 2010;Marques et al, 2010;Tsape et al, 2010;Wu et al, 2010;Maulvault et al, 2012;Risso & Carelli, 2012). The taste and nutritional quality of crab meat is to a large extent related to the presence of amino acids and fatty acids (Chen et al, 2007).…”

“…There are much studies encouraging crustacean consumption [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The nutritive values of crustaceans depend upon their biochemical composition, such as protein, amino acids, lipid, fatty acids, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals.…”

“…There will be variation of the proportion from each intake route, and it will depend upon the invertebrate physiological needs/endogenous factors, such as sex, age, condition and tissue and also the bioavailability of the elements in water and food. The bioavailability is affected by external environmental factors like season, location, substrate, depth, water salinity, temperature and anthropogenic influence (Wang and Fisher, 1999;Turoczy et al, 2001;Fabris et al, 2006;Jop et al, 1997;Kádár et al, 2006;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006). Davis and Gatlin III (1996) clearly explained the requirements of some essential mineral in the dietary of fish and marine crustaceans in their review.…”

“…Although their frequent consumption is not advisable in general due to allergenic reactions or to its supposedly high cholesterol content, there are much studies encouraging crustacean consumption (Oehlenschläger, 1997;Bügel et al, 2001;Rosa and Nunes, 2003;Gökoolu and Yerlikaya, 2003;Küçükgülmez et al, 2006;Chen et al, 2007;Teixeira et al, 2008;Barrento et al, 2008).…”
