    Nutritional Composition of Breast and Claw Meat fromEconomically Important Crab Species from Brackish waterand Marine ecosystems
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India),Cochin, 2022-10-31) R., Anandan; Neha Omgy; Thazhakot Vasunambisan Sankar
    The proximate analysis of the meat from ediblecrabs of marine (Portunus pelagicus and Portunussanguinolentus) and brackish water (Scyllaserrata and Scylla olivacea) ecosystems indicated ap-preciable levels of protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibreand minerals in the fresh meat besides the essentialamino acids (Arg, Leu, Trp and Met) and polyun-saturated fatty acids (C22:6, C20:5 and C20:4). Highmyofibrillar protein (50-57 g/100g) and low stromaprotein (2 g/100g of total protein) make it anutritionally valuable food. Sodium, potassium,calcium and phosphorous were present at signifi-cant levels. Low toxic elements (arsenic, cadmium,lead) indicated the absence of food safety concerns.
