This study was conducted to determine the effect of using emulsifiersduring washing on the fat content of cockles (Anadara granosa). Lecithin and polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), at different concentrations (0.5%, 1% and 2%) were used during washing and fat content in the washed minced cockles meat were determined. Washing with lecithin solution showed fat content increased when 2% lecithin was used after decreasing when 1%was used. Fat content decreased with longer washing time. Using Tween 80 showed that as the concentration increased, fat content in the samples also increased. The longer the washing time also resulted in the fat content to increase.
