Abstract

The urgency of this work is that vitamins are indispensable factors
of nutrition for humans and at the same time are not such for animals of some
species. In the absence of vitamins, hypovitaminosis develops in the body, the
cause of which may be exogenous, endogenous and mixed factors. Therefore, the
issue of the presence of vitamins in meat of food snails, which is in today's
delicacies, remains unresolved. In this way, we were asked to investigate the
presence of vitamins in Helix aspersa maxima, Helix aspersa muller, and Helix
pomatia food snails and determine the exact amount of each of them.
In this study, we used techniques that are presented in detail in State
Standard 30627.5-98, State Standard 30627.6-98, State Standard 30627.4-
98, State Standard 30627.3-98, State Standard 30627.1-98.
51We found that most enriched with vitamins that we were able to explore
- is B 1 , B 2 , B 3 (PP), B 9 , C, and E is the sample No1 meat snails Helix aspersa
maxima are grown in the conditions of the farm "SNAIL 2016". Of all vitamins,
sample No 1 is the most enriched with alfatcoferol and niacin - 4.2: 2.47 mg /
100 g, respectively. For the last two samples, the highest amount of
alfatocopherol is contained in the sample number 2 - 3.7 mg / 100 g, and 2.4
mg / 100 g niacin in the meat of the H.pomatia snails. It should be noted that
ascorbic acid in the meat of all experimental snails is absent at all.
Thus, we can conclude that Helix aspersa maxima, Helix aspersa muller,
Helix pomatia contains vitamins B 1 , B 2 , B 3 (PP), B 9 , A, E. Most commonly, the
vitamins E and B 3 (PP) in meat of the Helix aspersa maxima snails is 4.2: 2.47 mg
/ 100 g, respectively. The prospect of our further research relates to the clarification
of the vitamin content of cooked meat of Helix aspersa maxima, Helix aspersa
muller, Helix pomatia and to analyze the results.
