Abstract
The proximate analysis and fatty acid content of the lipids were determined on four separate types of cooked snow crabmeat plus composite samples of the cooked meat and a commercially canned product. The amino acid, sodium and potassium content were determined on a commercially canned product. These results show that snow crabs contain a considerable amount of meat (33.7%) which is high in protein (18.8%) and nutrition. The fatty acid content is over 50% polyunsaturated. Fatty acid 20:5 was the predominant acid (26.0–30.0%) followed by 18:1 (17.0–19.3%), 22:6 (15.0–16.6%) and 16:0 (12.5–13.5%). Amino acid content is similar to dungeness and Chesapeake Bay blue crab meat.
