This paper
describes selected biochemical and analytical composition of Helix aspersa
maxima eggs. Analyses determined the percentages of proteins, lipids, sugars,
the composition of water and mineral elements, also antioxidant capacity.
H. aspersa maxima
eggs contain the high percentage of protein and are low in lipids (cholesterol
content average 0.69 mg%), and are also found rich in Ca. The results
showed that the eggs possess antioxidant activity and do not lose the
antioxidants during short term storage in salt solution.
The results make
it possible to evaluate nutritional quality of eggs land snails as a good food
source.
