Sensory and Nutritional Characteristics of Seasoned Broughton's Ribbed Ark Scapharca broughtonii Product

摘要

The objective of this study was to investigate the sensory and nutritional characteristics of seasoned broughton's ribbed ark Scapharca broughtoniiproduct (S-BRA). Based on 100 g, the proximate composition of S-BRA was 68.9 g moisture, 16.1 g crude protein, 4.0 g crude lipid and 4.0 g ash. The salinity was 2.2 g. Based on the results of a taste-intensity test using an electronic tongue, S-BRA had a stronger umami taste and less sourness than the control (BRA prepared with commercial seasoning sauce)(P<0.05). In a sensory evaluation, S-BRA scored higher for appearance, taste, flavor, and texture compared to the control. The total amino acid content based on 100 g of S-BRA was 16.04 g, and the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, and arginine. The S-BRA was higher in calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and zinc than the control. The fatty acid content based on 100 g of S-BRA was 3,242 mg, and the major fatty acids were 16:0, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3. These results indicated that S-BRA had greater nutritional value than the control.
