Composición proximal en algunas especies de pescado y mariscos disponibles en el pacífico costarricense.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2017-01-31) Fonseca Rodríguez, Cristian; Chavarría Solera, Fabián
El pescado y los mariscos son alimentos de los más completos por su calidad y cantidad de nutrientes; sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre la composición química de los recursos pesqueros del pacífico costarricense. Por tal razón, el objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar el potencial nutricional de las partes comestibles (fresco) de seis especies de pescados y mariscos de consumo e importancia comercial en la zona pacífica de Costa Rica. Los análisis de la composición proximal: humedad, cenizas, extracto etéreo y proteínas se determinaron según la metodología de AOAC. Los resultados indicaron que el contenido de humedad varió entre 77,13 % en barracuda (Sphyraena ensis) y 83,12% en calamar (Lolliguncula panamensis), la ceniza entre 0,84% en calamar y 1,65% en almeja de agua dulce (Anodonta luteola), el extracto etéreo entre 1,16% para el calamar y 2,24% para la almeja de agua dulce. La almeja de agua dulce presentó el menor porcentaje de proteínas (10,73%), mientras que el lenguado (Cyclopsetla querna) el mayor porcentaje (19,86%). Los resultados permiten concluir que las especies estudiadas son una buena alternativa para el consumo humano, por su bajo contenido en grasas y por el aporte proteico.

Seasonal variation in proximate composition of mussels Tagelus peruvianus (Bivalvia: Solecurtidae) from the Gulf of Nicoya, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Marine bivalves are a very important food source for human consumption, and species that has not been of traditional use as a fishery resource are gaining interest. Seasonal variation in proximate composition, condition index and energy or caloric content of the mussel Tagelus peruvianus were studied in the Gulf of Nicoya, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. From November 2007 to October 2008, a total of 35 to 40 specimens per month were collected. The proximate composition using the AOAC methods was determined. Results showed that the condition index during December, January and May decreased, indicative of two spawning periods and one gonadal resting phase. Soft tissues were respectively characterized by protein (61.9±4.3%), carbohydrates (15.7±2.4%), ash (14.0±1.9%) and lipids (8.5±1.7%). The average caloric content was 5.0±0.1kcal/g. The results showed that the decrease in protein and fat percentage, and calories content, occurred during the spawning seasons. We suggest that T. peruvianus has an optimal nutritional value for human consumption because of the low-fat and moderate protein content. Rev. Biol. Trop. 59 (4): 1517-1523. Epub 2011 December 01.
Variación estacional de la composición proximal en tres especies de importancia comercial del Golfo de Nicoya, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Seasonal variation of proximate composition in three commercially important species in the Gulf of Nicoya, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Nutritional value of seafood for human consumption is worldwide recognized. Some information have been generated in other countries, nevertheless, there is limited information describing the chemical composition of some fishery important species caught in the Gulf of Nicoya. For this reason, we studied the levels of proximal components of the edible parts (fresh) of three commercially important species. The meat samples of snook Centropomus unionesis, the shrimp Trachypenaeus byrdi and the bivalve Polymesoda radiata, were collected from the Puntarenas local fish market during the fishing season of February 2009 to January 2010. Proximate composition analysis was determined according to AOAC methodology, and evaluated the moisture content, and protein and lipid composition of shellfish meats. The results indicated that the moisture content ranged from 74.6-80.6g/100g for snook 76.9-80.0g/100g for shrimp and 77.9-89.5g/100g for green mussel. After the moisture, the protein was the most abundant chemical fraction (6.8 to 21g/100g) showing the highest values in February for the shrimp and green mussel, and December for snook. The largest fluctuations in the lipid content were found in the snook, ranging from 0.7g/100g to 5.6g/100g; the highest values in this fraction were found in shrimp, green mussel and snook, for July, February and April samples respectively. Considering these results, we concluded that fish and shrimp species studied are a good alternative for human consumption as a source of protein and low lipid content. Rev. Biol.
