Table 2. Content of crude protein, crude fat, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), glutathione (GSH), astaxanthin and vitamins in lyophilized eggs of Helix aspersa maxima and Helix aspersa aspersa.

Parameter H. a. maxima H. a. aspersa p
Crude protein (%) 29.2 ± 0.0 29.0 ± 0.0
Crude fat (%) <0.2 <0.2
TBARS (μg/g) 0.543 ± 0.026 0.481 ± 0.033 0.174
GSH (μg/g) 69.64 ± 1.55 44.58 ± 3.15 <0.001
Astaxanthin (µg/g) <0.2151 <0.2151
Vitamin A (IU/g) <0.1566 <0.1566
Vitamin C (µg/g) <150 <150
Vitamin D3 (µg/g) 0.4908 ± 0.0060 0.8048 ± 0.0028 <0.001
Vitamin E (µg/g) <4.5252 <4.5252

Note:

Data are expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. Statistically significant effect: values of one indicator are statistically significantly different when p < 0.05. n = 2 (crude protein, crude fat, vitamin C), n = 3 (astaxanthin, vitamins A, D3, E), n = 6 (TBARS, GSH).
