The proximate, nutrient and mineral analyses were conducted on the head and mantle of cuttlefish (Sepia
recurvirostra). Proximate analysis showed both head and mantle of cuttlefish contained 13.16 -13.51% protein, 0.7-
0.9% ash, 0.8% fat and1-1.4% carbohydrate. Amino acid analysis revealed cuttlefish contained essential and non
essential amino acid with arginine (0.97%) and glutamate (0.81%) was the highest in the head, respectively, while
lysine (0.7%) and glutamate (0.7%) was the highest in the mantle, respectively. Lipid of cuttlefish contained high
Percentage of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) with a high content of DHA (17.5–20.5%). The C16:0 and C18:0
were the most abundant saturated fatty acid in the head and mantle. Mineral analysis showed high contents of
sodium, phosphorus, potassium and calcium, with sodium content being the highest (1532.7-1610.4 mg/kg). Zinc
and copper were the dominant trace minerals in both portions. This study showed that cuttlefish contain essential
nutrients for human good health with high in protein and mineral content.
Key words: Amino acid, DHA, essential mineral, proximate, nutritional, Sepia recurvirostra,
