| In the present study, the nutritional value of Asian seabass grown in cages was evaluated based on the measurement of proximate compounds and minerals according to AOAC standard method and UV-Vis spectroscopy, respectively, and protein quality indicators were evaluated based on the amino acid analysis using acid hydrolysis and chromatography. According to the results, the levels of moisture, protein, fat, and ash were determined as 77.78, 17.36, 3.21 and 1.56%, respectively, and the energy content was 98.33 kcal/100 g. The results of minerals indicated a high content of sodium and potassium at 371.41±50.98 and 230.26±40.23 mg/100 g and manganese had the lowest level at 0.29±0.11 mg/kg. A total of 18 amino acids were identified, of which 9 were identified as essential amino acids. Glutamic, aspartic, and lysine amino acids were dominant in this profile. The values of protein quality indices including essential amino acids index, biological value, nutritional index, and protein efficiency ratio in this species were obtained as 58.955, 52.53, 10.23, and 2.90, respectively. |
