Proximate composition and nutritional evaluation of the adductor muscle of pen shell
نویسندگان
چکیده
The proximate composition of pen shell adductor muscle (PSAM) was determined, and its nutrition value was evaluated. Proximate composition analysis indicated that PSAM contained 91.07% (w/w) protein, 5.77% (w/w) ash, and 2.46% (w/w) fat. Calcium was the predominant mineral followed by zinc and then iron. The amino acid profile was in accordance with the recommended pattern of FAO/WHO except for histidine. At the same time, the first limiting amino acid was histidine. Fatty acid composition showed that docosahexaenoic acid was the major fatty acid, followed by palmitic, stearic, and arachidonic acids. Results indicated that PSAM was rich in nutrition and may be developed as a functional food.

Effects of dietary diludine supplementation on growth, proximate composition, muscle and texture structure of rainbow trout juveniles
A feeding trial which lasted for eight weeks was conducted to investigate the effects of diludine, a growth promoter, on feed efficiency, muscle structure and proximate composition of juvenile rainbow trout. Diludine was added at 0.0(D0) 0.2(D1), 0.5(D2) and 1(D3) g kg-1 to a casein-based diet, and every diet was given to the triplicated groups of juvenile rainbow trout. At the end of experimen...

Artemia has been widely used in aquaculture as a suitable live food. The presence of highly unsaturated fatty acids is a key factor that determines the nutritional value and marketing of Artemia for shrimp, marine larvae, sturgeon and ornamental fish industries. To determine the variation in nutritional content in cysts, decapsulated cysts and nauplii of Artemia from three different biotopes of...
