“…The calcium (ca) recorded was maximum in cephalothorax 9.7 ± 10.8 and minimum in swimming and walking legs 4.3 ± 1.20 (Table 1 and Figure 6). Earlier report agreed with this study where 2157.86 ± 1.01 mg/100 g of calcium was recorded in land crab C. armatum [43], 15.670 mg/gm in P. vigil [25] and Chinese mitten crab and 0.67 mg/gm in E. sinesis [44].…”

The role of aquatic rice field species in rural diets has been underestimated. These aquatic animals potentially supply most of the protein, carbohydrate and other nutrients that are needed by the villagers. The information on nutritional composition of aquatic animal resources from rice fields is scarce since they are not common in the food baskets of most other countries. Generally marine crabs are widely used as food and feed supplements throughout the world, but people do not consider paddy fields for freshwater crabs. Although large numbers of freshwater crabs are suitable for human consumption, these aquatic animals are not consumed in large quantities elsewhere. National and regional food composition data bases contain very limited info on nutritional composition of these species. In the present study an attempt has been made to evaluate the nutritional status of the edible potamid crab The result showed that the parameters like protein, carbohydrate, lipid, moisture and ash and minerals of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron, copper and zinc were maximum in cephalothorax and minimum in swimming and walking legs.

“…The result revealed a higher moisture level in the fresh (56.57%) than the dried (13.94%) specimen of Pachygrapsus transversus. In this study, the moisture content in fresh sample is lower than similar values previously reported: 79.0 ± 0.7% for Carcinus maenas; Skonberg & Perkins, 2002 The fat content obtained in the fresh and dried specimen (Pachygrapsus transversus) of the present study are comparatively lower than that reported on dried Callinectes armatum (5.35 ± 0.01%), Omotoso (2005). The values are close to the report by Sengul & Zeliha (2011), which showed a fat value of (1.8 ± 0.02%) for female freshwater crab in autumn and 1.05 ± 0.63% for female crab in summer.…”

Abstract:The proximate composition and the contents of some important minerals in the box crab, Pachygrapsus transversus were studied in fresh and dried specimens. Numerical Values determined for moisture, ash and carbohydrates in the fresh individuals were higher than those measured in the dried samples. Similarly, protein and fat values in the dried specimen were higher than those determined in the fresh samples. Generally, the values 13.94%, 13.94% and 1.32% determined as moisture, ash and carbohydrate in dried samples were lower than those obtained in the fresh components. The concentration of sodium and calcium were 591.00mg/100g and 213.50mg/100g in fresh Pachygrapsus transversus while the values of iron, zinc and phosphate in the dried samples were higher. The nutritional implication of these differences in the proximate composition and mineral content of the Pachygrapsus transversus (dried and fresh) were discussed.

“…For protein, solubility is usually considered the premier functional properties of protein because of its relevance to other properties such as viscosity, gelation, foaming and emulsification (Hall, 1992), and the pH-solubility relationship for proteins has been well-studied (Geirsdottir et al, 2007;Emmanuel et al, 2008;Bourtoom et al, 2009). Omotoso (2005) also found the similar thing. He found that the protein solubility of the land crab (Cardisoma armatum) was affected by pH.…”

Udang mantis jenis Harpiosquilla raphidea merupakan salah satu jenis krustase hasil tangkapan bernilai ekonomi pada beberapa daerah pesisir di Indonesia. Namun komposisi biokimia jenis ini belum banyak diketahui. Oleh karena itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk memepelajari secara kuantitatif unsure-unsur penting yang terkandung dalam daging udang mantis yang berasal dari perairan Kuala Tungkal, Jambi dan Cirebon. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan bahwa rendemen udang mantis dari kedua lokasi tidak berbeda nyata. Selain itu, udang dari kedua lokasi juga tidak memperlihatkan kandungan mikro mineral (seng, besi dan tembaga) yang berbeda. Namun demikian, udang mantis Kuala Tungkal, Jambi memiliki kandungan natrium, kalium dan kalsium lebih tinggi dibandingkan udang mantis Cirebon. Tetapi, udang mantis Cirebon kandungan magnesiumnya lebih baik. Pemasakan dengan media asam dan dengan proses perebusan akan menghasilkan tingkat kelarutan mineral tertinggi. Kata kunci: Udang mantis, Harpiosquilla raphidea, komposisi biokimia, kelarutan mineralThe mantis shrimp, Harpiosquilla raphidea, is a valued crustacean species captured mainly in some Indonesian coastal waters. Yet, the biochemical composition of this species is still inadequately understood. For that reason, the aim of this study was to quantify the content of essential elements of specimens from the Kuala Tungkal, Jambi and Cirebon Coast. The meat yield of the shrimps collected from the two locations are not significantly different. In terms of proximate chemical composition, all chemical characters of the shrimps from Kuala Tungkal, Jambi and Cirebon are not significantly different, except the fat content. As far as the mineral composition is concerned, no differences were observed between either two locations for micro minerals (zinc, iron and copper). However, the shrimps of Kuala Tungkal, Jambi coast showed higher sodium, potassium and calcium contents than those of Cirebon coast. Yet, for magnesium the shrimp of Cirebon had higher content in comparison with that of Kuala Tungkal, Jambi. Media acid with boiling process would bring about the highest solubility of minerals. Key words: Mantis shrimp, Harpiosquilla raphidea, biochemical composition, mineral solubility
