Experimental analysis of the parameters in nutrition labels of sea cucumber (Stichopus japonicus)

Sea cucumber( Stichopus japonicus) has high nutritional value,and contains a variety of nutrients that are beneficial to human physiological activities. Sea cucumber has a variety of tonic health functions. In order to determine value range of nutrient parameters in sea cucumber,key nutrition indicators in sea cucumbers from different regions were determined in laboratory conditions,such as protein,fat,moisture,ash content and sodium. The energy, carbohydrate and core nutrients in different species of sea cucumber were also comprehensively analyzed in order to provide reasonable reference data for nutritional ingredients in sea cucumber nutrition labels. Nutritional ingredient labels in different varieties of sea cucumber were attained through experiments,including energy and typical core nutrients. The average intervals of these are respectively as follows: energy: 100- 1 100 kJ /100 g,protein: 3. 00- 70. 0 g /100 g,fat: 0. 3- 2. 1 g /100 g,sodium: 140- 13 000 mg /100 g. Value range of nutrient parameters was determined in laboratory conditions. This method has high accuracy,good reproducibility and is easy to operate,and it also has good economical and promotion value.
