Abstract

In this study, we examined differences in the proximate composition of five major muscles of the yellowtail, as well as the relation between seasonal variations in the levels of crude lipids and texture of these muscles. The differences in content among these muscles and the variations in each muscle were greater for crude lipid and moisture content than for crude protein content. The crude lipid content of Musculus latero-dorsalis correlated with that of M. carinatus dorsalis, M. latero-ventralis, M. carinatus ventralis, and red muscle. In M. latero-dorsalis, the crude lipid content started to increase in October, remained high from November to January, started to decrease in March, and was low from April to June. The firmness of M. latero-dorsalis increased from October to November and started to decrease in March. Firmness decreased concurrently with decreases in crude lipid content and increased concurrently with increases in crude lipid content. The results of this study suggest that it is possible to predict the proximate compositions of other yellowtail muscles from the proximate composition of M. latero-dorsalis. Seasonal variation in crude lipid content of the M. latero-dorsalis was found, and variations in crude lipid tended to parallel those in firmness.
