POTENTIAL USE OF PEANUT WORM (Sipuncula) AS FOOD
Tóm tắt
It is shown that Peanut worm (Sipunculus nudus and Siphonosoma australe) contains highly nutritious and diverse ingredients. They include more than 17 mineral elements such as iron, manganese, calcium, zinc, nickel, etc. and high protein content with 18 amino acids such as glycine, alanine, glutamine, taurine, etc. There are 12.77% of lipids consisting of 12 saturated fatty acids, 5 monounsaturated fatty acids and 13 polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, the content of water, fiber, carbohydrates and vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, E, etc. in this organism is also quite high. Because of these valuable components, Peanut worm is usually used as functional food and could also be processed into different types of food for the people in the Mangrove Biosphere Reserve.
