Abstract
Moisture, protein, amino acid and fatty acid contents of raw and canned sea urchin (Paracentrotus lividus) gonads were determined. Sea urchin showed a high moisture content (73%) and a high level of proteins (56% dry matter). The canning process, evaluated at 112 degrees C for 50min, did not lead to significant changes in protein, amino acid and fatty acid contents relativ e to the raw sample.
