Nutritional Quality and Assessment of Contaminants in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.) of Different Origins

Table 1

Dry matter, proteins, total lipids, and sum of tocopherols determined in Atlantic salmon from different origins.

Constituents	Norway-Central (n = 17)	Norway-North (n = 10)	Norway-South (n = 13)	Scotland (n = 8)	Iceland^1 (n = 2)	Chile (n = 5)
Dry matter (g/100 g)	37.6 ± 2.7^a	38.7 ± 3.3^a	36.9 ± 2.3^a	38.4 ± 2.5^a	39.6^a	33.5 ± 1.1^a
Proteins (g/100 g)	18.9 ± 0.7^ab	19.3 ± 0.9^ab	18.8 ± 0.5^b	19.6 ± 0.9^ab	18.9^ab	20.6 ± 0.7^a
Total lipids (g/100 g)	15.8 ± 2.8^a	15.4 ± 2.4^a	15.1 ± 1.4^a	15.1 ± 2.4^a	18.3^a	8.9 ± 0.9^b
The sum of tocopherols (mg/kg oil)	307.7 ± 73.0^a	288.8 ± 48.7^a	342.8 ± 40.3^a	284.0 ± 94.4^a	262.1^a	249.4 ± 60.2^a
The sum of tocopherols (g/100 g)	4.8 ± 0.9^ab	4.5 ± 1.0^ab	5.1 ± 0.5^a	4.4. ± 0.5^ab	4.9^ab	2.2 ± 0.4^b

Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). ¹SD was not calculated due to the low number of samples from Iceland (n = 2). Values marked with different letters within the same row indicate a statistically significant difference by one-way analysis of variance with Scheffe’s post hoc test ().
