Abstract: The chemical composition and the food properties of shell and flesh of Penaeus notabilis were evaluated. The protein, ash and energy were high whereas carbohydrate and fibre were low in the proximate composition. In the mineral composition, the mineral elements in shell were corresponding higher than the level in flesh. The total essential amino acids in shell was 740mg/g protein and 865mg/g protein in flesh. The limiting amino acid in both shell and flesh was threonine. In the functional properties, both water absorption, oil absorption and oil emulsion capacities were all high with foaming stability at 25% (90min) in both tissues. The lowest gelation was low in both tissues. The protein solubility was high at both sides of pH with isoelectric point being 5.0 (shell) and 7.0 (flesh). The followings: proximate, mineral, amino acids and essential amino acids composition, functional properties and protein solubility, all showed that correlation coefficients r-values > t ", n-2 meaning that the correlations were significant with high positive values at r0.05.
Description: Shrimps, caught from fresh, marine and brackish waters and ponds of various types, are becoming delicacies in Nigeria. They are eaten either whole (shell+flesh) after drying or as flesh alone (when fresh). The usage of the terms "shrimp' and "prawn' varies in different parts of the world. For scientific purposes, they should be taken as synonymous. Holthuis (1980) gave a most useful discussion on the usage of the word in different countries. What are referred to as "crayfish' in West African English are actually shrimps. True crayfish (Decapoda reptantia) do not occur in mainland tropical Africa, except as introduced populations in East Africa.
