Proximate composition

Proximate composition

The main constituents of a product, and their amounts in unit mass or volume. In the case of products without added components, proximate composition typically comprises water, protein, fat, and ash, expressed as percentage of the weight. These components usually sum to over 100%, typically around 101-102%, in fish muscle tissue. This is mainly due to the way protein content is measured, which slightly overestimates the true protein content.
