Abstract

To understand the mineral content of freshwater fish produced in Shaanxi Province and evaluate its related nutritional value. According to the 2021 Shaanxi Provincial nutrition monitoring plan, the 9 mineral contents of 13 varieties of freshwater fish, produced in Shaanxi province, were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. The nutritional evaluation of mineral elements was carried out by using the index of nutritional quality(INQ) method. Simultaneously, the correlation between 9 minerals and energy was analyzed by SPSS software. Among the 13 fish species, the contents of P and K were highest, with content ranges of 169-255 and 159-373 mg/100 g, respectively, followed by sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc. The contents of copper and manganese were lowest. The nutritional evaluation showed that the INQ values of P, K and Mg were than 1, the INQ value of P was highest, which was 4.57-8.72. Some fish have INQ values greater than 1 for calcium, iron, copper and zinc. The correlation between the nine minerals was not strong, as a whole. Only some elements have a correlation coefficient greater than 0.6, indicating that there was a synergistic accumulation effect or antagonistic effect in the fish body. The dominant mineral elements in different species of fish were different. However, most fish species can be used as high-quality food sources of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, copper and zinc.
