Notes:
Three different brands of commercially breaded shrimp were analyzed for breading composition and nutrients (protein, carbohydrates, fat, B-vitamins, calcium and iron) for comparison with hand-breaded laboratory samples. All analyses were on a 100g basis. The percent breading, carbohydrates and calories were higher in the commercial samples than in the hand-breaded shrimp. However, the hand-breaded shrimp exhibited slightly higher values of niacin, thiamin and riboflavin when compared to the commercial samples. An average of 41.8 mg of calcium and 0.97 mg of iron were found in commercial samples while the hand-breaded samples contained 32.4 mg and 1.1 mg. respectively, for these two minerals.
