Description The present study reports the biochemical composition of Perna viridis from the
southwestern coast of India. A balanced essential to nonessential amino acid
ratio (0.7:1.1) along with the optimum and balanced quantities of vitamins,
mineral nutrients, and low cholesterol contents characterized P. viridis. The
n-3/n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid ratio of P. viridis was found to be 3.7:5.3 and
therefore may serve as an alternative to balance the higher intake of n-6 fatty
acids. High oxyradical scavenging capacity (24–32%) and total phenolics
(2–5 mg GAE−1) suggest the nutraceutical potential of P. viridis.
