Abstract:
Objective To analyze the nutrient constituents of the gonad from Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus.The results could provide a theoretical basis for the development of the H. pulcherrimus.Methods The contents of the water,ash and protein were determined by the national standard methods,total sugar by phenol-sulfuric acid method,rude fat by soxhlet's method,fatty acids by gas chromatography-mass chromatography,and inorganic elements by atomic absorption spectroscopy method.Results The contents of water,ash,rude fat, protein and total sugar were 64.20%,12.70%,2.34%,12.25%and 5.59%,respectively. The contents of arachidonic acid and EPA were higher in fatty acids.Inorganic elements, such as Ca,Mg,Fe were also in higher level.Conclusion The gonad of H.pulcherrimus was useful in the exploitation of nutrient food.
