    Biochemical and nutritional evaluation of crab meat
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 1998) Selvin, J.; Ismail, T.; Stephen, J.; George, C.
    Different species of sea crabs, Portunus pelagicus, C. sanguinolentus, Charybdis cruciata, and C. lucifera were analysed for moisture, protein, lipids, non-protein nitrogen, alpha amino nitrogen, carbohydrate glycogen, fructose, ribose and minerals. The meat had high content of alpha amino nitrogen, ribose, phosphorus, and sodium whereas lipids, glycogen, fructose, potassium, and calcium were low. stroma protein was low in all species. Biochemical composition did not show much variation. Protein efficiency ratios except that of P.sanguinolentus were better than that of casein.
