The Effect Of Different De-Sliming Agents On The Quality Of Snail Meat (Archachatina Marginata)
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the
effect of different de-sliming agent on the quality of snail meat. The snail
was washed with different de-sliming agent and the proximate, mineral,
microbial and sensory evaluations were carried out. The proximate composition
of the snail washed with different agent used for de-sliming. It was seen that
the moisture content ranged from 69.76% to 72.49%, ash content ranged from
1.30% to 1.38%, crude fat ranged from 0.24% to 0.35%, mean crude protein ranged
from I 6.38% to 17.86%, the carbohydrate content ranged from 9.54% to 10.9 I%.
Result from mineral analysis shows that calcium content ranged from 110.82 to
120.22mg/ 1 00g, magnesium content ranged from 126.60 to 260.06mg/ 1 00g,
sodium content ranged from 175.02 to 180.17mg/100g. Result from microbiological
composition shows that snail de-slimed with water has the highest microbial
growth (1.2x 10° cfu/g) as storage day increases. Result from sensory
evaluation shows that snail de-slimed with lime was generally accepted by the
panelist. There were significant difference (p<0.05) among the sample><0.05)
