A study on fatty acid profile and some mineral contents of mantis shrimp (Erugosquilla massavensis Kossmann, 1880) from northeastern Mediterranean Sea (Turkey)
Journal Title: Marine Science and Technology Bulletin - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This study was carried out to detect the percentage content of fatty acids (FA) and some minerals (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Zn, Fe) of 40 mantis shrimp (Erugosquilla massavensis) obtained from Northeastern Mediterranean Sea, Turkey. The protein and fat contents were identified as 13.10±0.1% and 2.06±0.5, respectively. Distribution of fatty acids in samples was SFA > MUFA > PUFA. The order of average mineral concentrations found in samples was Mg>K>Na>Ca>Zn>Fe. The results showed that the ratio of PUFA/SFA (0.29) of mantis shrimp was not within the range reported as good (0.45) for human diets.
