The proximate composition and antioxidant properties of the muscle tissues of Scylla olivacea are reported herein. The carbohydrate content was in the range of 1.52% to 3.07%, while protein varied from 13.30% to 17.28%. Meanwhile, the fat content for S. olivacea was found to be ranging from 0.20% to 0.57%. The moisture content in S. olivacea was 60.00%. Generally, no significant differences were observed in both male and female tissues of S. olivacea regarding its total phenolic content, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl) hydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging, and superoxide dismutase activities. However, significant differences were observed for the total flavonoid content and activity of catalase. The present results revealed the nutritional information and enzymatic and nonenzymatic antioxidant status of the tissues of S. olivacea.
