[Study of the composition of killer whale meat as a source of balanced proteins].

Investigations have shown the proteins of the Orca meat to consist largely of complete water-salt and alkaline-soluble fractions and of an insignificant amount of connective-tissue proteins. The proteins of the Orca meat contain all the amino acids, including essential ones. The lysine and histidine content there in is 1.5 times as high in the proteins of beef. The completeness of the amino acids composition of Orca meat proteins enables it to utilize this raw material for obtaining valuable food products in the form of concentrates or hydrolysates.
