Popis: Abstract. Crab is a good source of animal protein, eaten either as snacks or as part of main meal in Southern Nigeria. The effect of grilling on energy-providing nutrients and functional attributes of Cardiosoma armatum (Herklots, 1851) were determined. The comparison of the raw and grilled crabmeat showed that grilling had considerable effect on the quality of this species. Significant changes (p10.00) and the grilled samples (13.86>10.00). All the significant energy-providing nutrients have a positive correlation with the investigated minerals except magnesium. Grilling was found to be a suitable cooking process for C. armatum, since it conserved the main energy-providing nutrients and functional characteristics.
