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.

| 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 |

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).
