Full Text Available The seafood products are considered as an important element in the Mediterranean diet and play a significant role in the appearance of diseases and food poisoning.
Forty samples of seafood products from various provenances of eastern coast of Algeria were randomly collected from several retail markets at the Constantine region. Total bacterial counts of Aerobic Mesophilic bacteria, Salmonella spp. Salmonella spp. No strain of Staphylococcus aureus and vibrio were detected.
The results of this study constitute an indicator of bacteriological contamination and showed that samples markets were contaminated with potential pathogenic microorganisms. Microplastics as contaminants in commercially important seafood species. The ingestion of microplastic fragments, spheres, and fibers by marine mollusks, crustaceans, and fish, including a number of commercially important species, appears to be a widespread and pervasive phenomenon.
Evidence is also growing for direct impacts of microplastic ingestion on physiology, reproductive success and survival of exposed marine organisms, and transfer through food webs, although the ecological implications are not yet known. Concerns also remain over the capacity for microplastics to act as vectors for harmful chemical pollutants, including plastic additives and persistent organic pollutants, although their contribution must be evaluated alongside other known sources. The potential for humans, as top predators, to consume microplastics as contaminants in seafood is very real, and its implications for health need to be considered.
An urgent need also exists to extend the geographical scope of studies of microplastic contamination in seafood species to currently underrepresented areas, and to finalize and adopt standardized methods and quality-assurance protocols for the isolation, identification, and quantification of microplastic contaminants from biological tissues.
Such developments would enable more robust investigation of spatial and temporal trends, thereby contributing further evidence as a sound basis for regulatory controls. Despite the existence of considerable uncertainties and unknowns, there is already a compelling case for urgent actions to identify, control, and, where possible, eliminate key sources of both primary and secondary microplastics before they reach the marine environment.
Integr Environ Assess Manag ; Probabilistic health risk assessment for ingestion of seafood farmed in arsenic contaminated groundwater in Taiwan. Seafood farmed in arsenic As - contaminated areas is a major exposure pathway for the ingestion of inorganic As by individuals in the southwestern part of Taiwan. This study presents a probabilistic risk assessment using limited data for inorganic As intake through the consumption of the seafood by local residents in these areas.
The As content and the consumption rate are both treated as probability distributions, taking into account the variability of the amount in the seafood and individual consumption habits. The Monte Carlo simulation technique is utilized to conduct an assessment of exposure due to the daily intake of inorganic As from As- contaminated seafood. The assessment results show that inorganic As intake from five types of fish excluding mullet and shellfish fall below the PTWI threshold values for the 95th percentiles, but exceed the target cancer risk of 10 The predicted 95th percentile for inorganic As intake and lifetime cancer risks obtained in the study are both markedly higher than those obtained in previous studies in which the consumption rate of seafood considered is a deterministic value.
This study demonstrates the importance of the individual variability of seafood consumption when evaluating a high exposure sub-group of the population who eat higher amounts of fish and shellfish than the average Taiwanese. Toxic elements and speciation in seafood samples from different contaminated sites in Europe.

Review the state of the art on the chemical contamination of seafood and on the human intake of contaminants through these commodities in the Adriatic area. Scientific literature on the levels of inorganic i. Where sufficient data were available, an evaluation of the average potential intake was carried out through the correlation between contamination levels in marine organisms and seafood consumption.
The results of this study did not show any risk for the average consumer related to the consumption of Adriatic seafood. Nevertheless it is essential to carefully evaluate the potential risk to which some population groups, especially high consumers of local seafood , are exposed. For this purpose, it is necessary to obtain additional data on the content of contaminants in the main seafood products and on the levels of consumption by the Adriatic coastal populations.
In base ai risultati ottenuti. Radioactive contamination in Norwegian fish and seafood time trends and geographical trends. Norwegian marine waters are home to some of the world's richest fishing grounds. In , Norway was the world's twelfth largest fishery nation, and the world's second largest exporter of seafood. Knowledge and documentation of the levels of radioactive contamination in fish and seafood is therefore of major importance to Norwegian consumers and the fishery industry.
Monitoring of radioactive pollution in Norwegian fish and seafood has been ongoing in various ways since the early 's. Although not directly comparable to current measurements, these were probably the highest observed concentrations in fish during the whole monitoring period.
Contamination levels decreased substantially during the late 's as a result of the decrease in global fallout, biological elimination of the radioactive elements and the short physical half-lives of some beta-emitters. Monitoring was more or less terminated in the following years, and little data exists from the 's and early 's, though monitoring was resumed following the Chernobyl accident in Today, different species of commercially important fish and crustacean species as well as other species , are sampled on a regular basis from the Barents Sea, the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea and Norwegian fjords.
This study summarizes results from the monitoring during the period to Seafood substitutions obscure patterns of mercury contamination in Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides or "Chilean sea bass". Full Text Available Seafood mislabeling distorts the true abundance of fish in the sea, defrauds consumers, and can also cause unwanted exposure to harmful pollutants. By combining genetic data with analyses of total mercury content, we have investigated how species substitutions and fishery-stock substitutions obscure mercury contamination in Patagonian toothfish Dissostichus eleginoides, also known as "Chilean sea bass".
Patagonian toothfish show wide variation in mercury concentrations such that consumers may be exposed to either acceptable or unacceptable levels of mercury depending on the geographic origins of the fish and the allowable limits of different countries. Consistent with the documented geography of mercury contamination , our analysis showed that, on average, retail fish labeled as MSC-certified Patagonian toothfish had only half the mercury of uncertified fish.
However, consideration of genetic data that were informative about seafood substitutions revealed a complex pattern of contamination hidden from consumers: species substitutions artificially inflated the expected difference in mercury levels between MSC-certified and uncertified fish whereas fishery stock substitutions artificially reduced the expected difference in mercury content between MSC-certified and uncertified fish that were actually D.
Among MSC-certified fish that were actually D. Overall, our analysis of mercury was consistent with inferences from the genetic data about the geographic origins of the fish, demonstrated the potential negative impact of. This work highlights that the selection of the most appropriate bioindicator species. Objectives To characterize mercury levels in pregnant women, children, and commonly consumed seafood samples.
Methods Use resources of the Early Life Exposures in Mexico to Environmental Toxicants ELEMENT birth cohorts to measure total mercury levels in archived samples from pregnant women blood from three trimesters and cord blood , offspring blood, hair, urine and their mothers hair , and 91 seafood and canned tuna samples from Mexico City.
Results Maternal blood mercury levels correlated across three trimesters and averaged 3. Cord blood mercury averaged 4. In children, blood, hair and urine mercury levels correlated and averaged 1. Hair mercury was 0. Mean consumption of canned tuna, fresh fish, canned sardine, and shellfish was 3. Mean mercury content in 7 of 23 seafood species and 5 of 9 canned tuna brands purchased exceeded the U. EPA guidance value of 0. Conclusions Mercury exposures in pregnant women and children from Mexico City, via biomarker studies, are generally times greater than values reported in population surveys from the U.

Bisphenol A BPA is a man-made compound, mainly used as a monomer to produce polycarbonate PC , epoxy resins, non-polymer additives to other plastics, which have many food related applications, such as food storage containers, tableware and internal coating of cans, as well as non-food applications such as electronic equipment, construction materials and medical devices.
BPA exposure can occur when the residual monomer migrates into packaged food and beverages. Moreover, due to the ubiquitous presence of this compound, the general population can be exposed to environmental sources such as water, air and soil.
Many studies have investigated the potential health hazards associated with BPA, which can elicit toxic and cancerogenic effects on humans. According to the European Food Safety Authority opinion, diet is considered to be the main source of exposure, especially canned food; moreover, among non-canned food, meat and fish products have the highest levels of BPA contamination.
This review focuses on BPA contamination in seafood , analysing worldwide literature from January to October on BPA contamination of edible parts. The authors try to identify differences between canned and non-canned seafood in literature, and gaps in the state of art.
The data evaluated underline that all concentrations for both canned and non-canned seafood were below the specific migration limit set by the European Community Directive for BPA in food.
Moreover, the canned seafood is more contaminated than the non-canned one. Bisphenol A in edible part of seafood. Full Text Available Bisphenol A BPA is a man-made compound, mainly used as a monomer to produce polycarbonate PC, epoxy resins, non-polymer additives to other plastics, which have many food related applications, such as food storage containers, tableware and internal coating of cans, as well as non-food applications such as electronic equipment, construction materials and medical devices.
Predicted and observed growth of Listeria monocytogenes in seafood challenge tests and in naturally contaminated cold smoked salmon. Storage trials clearly showed the growth of L. Consequently, all four models substantially overestimated growth in the naturally contaminated products Organotin levels in seafood and its implications for health risk in high- seafood consumers.
Guerin, T. Fish and fishery products are considered as the main source of organotin compounds OTC. Unfortunately, little national contamination data is available to assess food exposure of organotins from French consumers. To provide a more accurate estimate of risks to human health, the butyltin, phenyltin and octyltin compounds sampling in four French coastal areas were measured in composite samples 96 fresh and frozen fish, 28 mollusks, 14 crustaceans, 1 echinoderm, 11 canned foods, 4 smoked fish, 5 prepared seafood -based dishes by capillary gas chromatography coupled with a microwave induced plasma atomic-emission spectrometer CGC-MIP-AES.
In these samples, butyltins were usually predominant and the range of the contamination levels was generally below those of earlier studies fish: mean 5. Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the food chain on a request from the Commission to assess the health risks to consumers associated with exposure to organotins in foodstuffs. Nobody would exceed this limit.
Finally, as this study has some limitations and since some other sources and health effects have not been clearly evaluated, it appears rational from public health and environmental viewpoints to continue to reduce the OTC levels in the environment. Control options for Listeria monocytogenes in seafoods. At least three outbreaks of listeriosis associated with seafood have been reported.
Listeria monocytogenes is widely distributed in the general environment including fresh water, coastal water and live fish from these areas. Contamination or recontamination of seafood may also take place during The Determination of Marine Biotoxins in Seafood. Marine biotoxins are natural toxins produced by specific algae species.
These toxins can accumulate in seafood such as mussels, oysters and fish. Consumption of contaminated seafood may lead to severe intoxication such as memory loss, paralysis, diarrhoea and even death.
In order to protect. The purposes of this study were to describe the prevalence of seafood consumption and, among consumers, the amounts of seafood eaten by sex, age group, income and education level , and race-ethnicity. The percentages varied by socio-demographic group. Younger age and lower income and education levels were associated with lower odds of being a seafood consumer p seafood , the average amount eaten of any seafood was Among seafood consumers, women and individuals of lower age and education levels consumed less seafood.
A great deal of work remains to move Americans toward seafood consumption at current recommended levels. Polychlorinated biphenyls PCBs are a large group of persistent organic substances spread throughout the world.
This study is one of the first in this country that demonstrates contamination of seafood with PCBs and determines the levels of PCBs and total dioxin like activity in mussels, oysters and shrimp, from the Eastern Coast of Thailand. Sixty pooled samples of mussels and twenty-seven pooled samples of oysters were collected from cultivation farms and twenty-one pooled samples of shrimp were collected from fisherman piers. Total PCB concentrations varied between three species, ranging between 19 and ng g -1 lipid adjusted weight, and the levels of PCBs in shrimp was three time higher than that in mussels and oysters.
With respected to the pattern of PCB congeners, it implied that the source of PCBs exposure in this area could be from the regional contamination.
Therefore, the CAFLUX bioassay can be used for effective screening of dioxin-like activity in marine species effectively. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce — In the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in , there was concern about the risk to human health through consumption of contaminated seafood from the Insights from an international stakeholder consultation to identify informational needs related to seafood safety.
Tediosi, Alice, E-mail: alice. Food safety assessment and communication have a strong importance in reducing human health risks related to food consumption. The research carried out within the ECsafe SEAFOOD project aims to assess seafood safety issues, mainly related to non-regulated priority environmental contaminants , and to evaluate their impact on public health.
In order to make the research results accessible and exploitable, and to respond to actual stakeholders' demands, a consultation with international stakeholders was performed by means of a survey. The focus was on policy and decision makers, food producers and processors, and agencies i. The survey considered questions related to: seafood safety assessment and mitigation strategies, availability of data, such as the level of information on different contaminants , and communication among different stakeholder groups.
Furthermore, stakeholders were asked to give their opinion on how they believe consumers perceive risks associated with environmental contaminants. The survey was distributed to key stakeholders and 91 responses were received from stakeholders from 30 EU and non-EU countries. The main results show that communication between different groups of stakeholders needs to be improved and that there is a deficit of information and data in the field of seafood safety.
This pertains mainly to the transfer of contaminants between the environment and seafood , and to the diversity of environmental contaminants such as plastic additives, algal toxins and hormones. On-line tools were perceived to be the most useful communication channel. Rochman, C. Plastic debris is recognized globally as a persistent contaminant , littered across multiple habitats worldwide. Most striking is its occurrence in wildlife.
Plastic has been recovered from hundreds of species across multiple trophic levels and in animals we consider seafood. This has led policy-makers to ask about the extent that our seafood is contaminated with plastic debris and associated contaminants. To help address these policy-relevant and emerging scientific questions, we first measured the simple presence of anthropogenic debris in many different species of fish and one species of shellfish sold as seafood at local fish markets in Half Moon Bay, California, USA and Makassar, Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Next, to understand if plastic debris can act as a vector for organic pollutants to move through the food chain and indirectly into the meat of fish at higher trophic levels , we designed a laboratory dietary exposure to measure the bioaccumulation of sorbed PCBs in Asian clams Corbicula fluminea and the biomagnifications in white sturgeon Acipenser transmontanus.
Asian clams were exposed for 30 days to separate treatments of microplastic polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene with and without sorbed PCBs.
Next, diets were formulated using purified ingredients and clams from the first exposure and fed to their predators sturgeon for 30 days. Chemical analyses, allowing us to understand how chemical contaminants from plastics move through food chains, will be presented.
Combined, this work demonstrates the presence of plastic debris in seafood and will help us understand whether plastic acts as a vector for chemicals to transfer through aquatic foodwebs, including our own. Prevention and control of hazards in seafood. In contrast, the hazards related to contamination , recontamination or survival of biological hazards during processing are well-defined and can be controlled by applying Good Manufacturing Practice GMP , Good Hygiene Seafood is high on the list of foods transmitting disease.
The safety hazards in seafood production Raw ready-to-eat seafood safety: microbiological quality of the various seafood species available in fishery, hyper and online markets. Microbiological quality of raw ready-to-eat seafood samples was investigated according to species gizzard shad, halibut, rockfish, tuna, oyster and squid and distribution channels fishery, hyper and online market.
Enumeration of aerobic plate count and total coliforms TC and pathogenic bacteria Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus was performed, and level of microbiological quality was classified into four groups: satisfactory, acceptable, unsatisfactory and unacceptable. Qualitative analysis was also performed for Escherichia coli and eight foodborne pathogens B. Gizzard shad was shown to be potentially hazardous, as its sashimi is eaten with its skin attached.
Bacillus cereus, E. Samples from the fishery market showed higher detection rate especially in V. Raw ready-to-eat seafood products like sashimi can be easily contaminated with various bacteria from aquatic environments and human reservoirs, which subsequently bring about a risk in food poisoning due to no heating process before consumption.
The results of this study provide comprehensive microbiological data on various species of raw ready-to-eat seafood from various distribution channels. It may contribute to establish reasonable standard and effective strategies to ensure a good microbiological quality of raw ready-to-eat seafood for the.
Seafood pathogens and information on antimicrobial resistance: A review. Seafood -borne diseases are a major public health hazard in the United States and worldwide. Per capita, seafood consumption has increased globally during recent decades. Seafood importation and domestic aquaculture farming has also increased. Moreover, several recent outbreaks of human gastroenteritis have been linked to the consumption of contaminated seafood.
Investigation of seafood -borne illnesses caused by norovirus, and Vibrio, and other bacteria and viruses require a concrete knowledge about the pathogenicity and virulence properties of the etiologic agents. This review explores pathogens that have been associated with seafood and resulting outbreaks in the U. The spectrum of such resistance is widening due to the overuse, misuse, and sub-therapeutic application of antimicrobials in humans and animals.
Long-chain omega-3 from low-trophic- level fish provides value to farmed seafood. Low-trophic- level fish are a crucial source of long-chain LC omega-3 fatty acids for farmed fish and humans.
Many farm-raised fish species have a clear need for these nutrients. Farmed fish deposit the LC omega-3s in their flesh and transfer them up the food chain.
However, the content of LC omega-3s in farm-raised seafood continues to decline, while the content of shorter-chain plant-sourced omega-3s, and pro-inflammtory omega-6s continue to increase. This reduces its nutritional worth. The value of low-trophic- level fish is often viewed merely as its price at the dock. Some reports and metrics steer public attention towards the mass balance between quantities of low-trophic- level fish and farmed seafood.
However, the the nutritional value of seafood is more important than its mere quantities. The role of low-trophic- level fish in human nutrition, health, and wellbeing is a fundamental component of its economic value to society. Workshop on managing seafood during the response phase of an oil spill.
Issues related to managing seafood fisheries problems during the response phase of an oil spill were discussed. Fishery closure case histories, agency responsibilities, testing seafood for tainting and contamination , closure alternatives, and health risk assessment methods were reviewed.
Areas requiring further research were identified. Does consumption of different categories of seafood affect birthweight? Fristad, R. Seafood is an important part of a healthy diet. Polyunsaturated fatty acids present in seafood play an essential role in the development of the central nervous system, of special importance to the brain development. The long chain n-3 fatty acids have also been reported to increase gestational length.
Fish intake during pregnancy has been associated with both increased birthweight and gestational length. Birthweight is considered to be a predictor of a number of disorders in infant and adult life. However, negative effects may arise in connection with fish and shellfish intake.
Seafood can be a major source of environmental contaminants , and correspondingly, adverse effects on pregnancy outcomes have been reported. In contrast, in a publication review carried out on the relationship between PCBs and related chemicals on several pregnancy outcomes, Kimbrough and Krouskas claim that none of the reviewed studies provided evidence on the existence of adverse effects on birthweight. Distinction between consumption of different types of seafood and its relation to pregnancy outcomes is scarce in the literature.
Since the source of environmental contaminants is mainly in the marine fat, and that fat content potentially differ in the various categories of seafood items, it is plausible that different categories of seafood may have distinct health effects on fetal growth and gestational length.

Two variables were the best predictors of stated purchasing of eco-labeled seafood : i recognition and understanding of eco-labels for seafood Marine Stewardship Council, Fish for Life, Aquaculture Stewardship Council and KRAV; and ii concern for negative environmental impacts associated with seafood production.
Meanwhile, consumer environmental knowledge was a weaker predictor. Results from this study suggest that strengthening the emotional component of consumer decision-making and improving the level of consumer familiarity with seafood eco-labels could stimulate more pro-environmental seafood consumption. Full Text Available Objectives: This study aimed to obtain representative data on the levels of heavy metals in seafood and farm produce consumed by the general population in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, a region known for the exploration and exploitation of crude oil.
Methods: In May , 25 food items, including common types of seafood , cereals, root crops and vegetables, were purchased in Uyo or collected from farmland in the region. Dried samples were ground, digested and centrifuged. Levels of heavy metals lead, cadmium, nickel, cobalt and chromium were analysed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
Average daily intake and target hazard quotients THQ were estimated. Results: Eight food items millet, maize, periwinkle, crayfish, stock fish, sabina fish, bonga fish and pumpkin leaf had THQ values over 1.
All other heavy metals had THQ values below 1. The total THQ for the heavy metals ranged from 0. There were 14 items with total THQ values greater than 1. Conclusion: The regular consumption of certain types of farm produce and seafood available in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, is likely adding to the body burden of heavy metals among those living in this region.
Fish and seafood are recommended diet constituents providing high quality protein, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid EPA and docosahexaenoic acid DHA.
However, these foodstuffs can also be the major source ofmethylmercury intake in humans. Predatory species that are at the top of the food chain and live a long time, may accumulate higher levels of methylmercury.
This paper contains information about sources of human exposure to organic compounds of mercury, toxicity, metabolism and transformation of mercury in the environment. Climate changes and their influence on the mercury cycle in the environment especially mercury methylation and concentrations of methylmercury in marine species were also presented.
Consumer advice prepared by European Commission and Member States as regards consumption of predatory fishes such as swordfish, tuna, shark, marlin and pike, taking into account the most vulnerable groups of population e. Mercury and methylmercury contamination of fishes and seafood on the basis of the literature references as well as intake of mercury with fish and fish products in Poland and other European country were discussed. The role of selenium as a factor which counteracts methylmercury toxicity and protects against some neurological effects of methylmercury exposure in humans, as well as information on potential etiological factors connected with autism disorder were also described.
Attention has also been drawn to increasing number of notifications to Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed. Mercury and PCBs are used by non-governmental organizations and federal agencies to inform seafood safety recommendations. Pollution dynamics suggest recommendations on the national scale may be too large to be accurate. We tested softshell and hardshell blue crab, white and pink shrimp, oysters, clams, spot, and mullet from fishers in each of the three North Carolina fishery districts.
Mercury and PCBs have different spatial dynamics, but both differ significantly by water body, suggesting that seafood safety recommendations should occur by water body instead of at the national scale. This finding supports previous research suggesting that differences in water chemistry, terrestrial influence, and flushing time in a particular water body control the contaminant load in locally resident species.
Health risk assessment for polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, and polychlorinated naphthalenes in seafood from Guangzhou and Zhoushan, China. This study determined the concentrations of organochlorine contaminants in common seafood in two Chinese coastal cities Guangzhou and Zhoushan , and assessed the health risk due to the daily consumption of contaminated seafood. Twenty-six pooled samples, belonging to five food categories fish, bivalves, shrimp, crab, and cephalopods , were purchased from local markets in Guangzhou and Zhoushan in and The total daily intake values of dioxin-like compounds were 1.
Hazard ratios of non-cancer risk in the two cities were all less than unity. Advanced glycation endproducts in 35 types of seafood products consumed in eastern China. Advanced glycation endproducts AGEs have been recognized as hazards in processed foods that can induce chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and diabetic nephropathy.
In this study, we investigated the AGEs contents of 35 types of industrial seafood products that are consumed frequently in eastern China.
The level of total fluorescent AGEs in seafood samples ranged from The CML content in seafood samples ranged from The total fluorescent AGEs and CML content increased when seafood underwent high-temperature processing, but did not show an obvious correlation. The present study suggested that commonly consumed seafood contains different levels of AGEs, and the seafood processed at high temperatures always displays a high level of either AGEs or CML.
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers and their hydroxylated and methoxylated derivatives in seafood obtained from Puget Sound, WA. Synthetic polybrominated diphenyl ethers PBDEs are ubiquitous environmental contaminants and known to occur in most food items. Natural formation of hydroxylated OH- and methoxylated MeO- PBDEs are also known to occur in simple marine organisms, which may be bioaccumulated by seafood.
Seafood samples were either purchased from local grocery stores or caught off the coast of SE Alaska and in Puget Sound. The edible portions of the seafood were analyzed, which for finfish was white muscle skinless fillets and for shellfish, either the entire soft tissue bivalves or processed meat calamari, shrimp and scallops.
These daily intake rates for PBDEs are higher than most dietary intake rates calculated for populations in other world regions.
Seafood Consumption and Health. Full Text Available This study discussed relationship between healthy life and seafood consumption. Seafood consumption provide with predicting some chronic diseases, regular diet and a healthy eating habit.
Fish and seafood have been promoted as healthy eating by health organizations in many countries all over the world. Seafood includes many important fatty acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals. These have been shown to cause significant biochemical and physiological changes in the body.
Study on the changes in phyicochemical properties of seafood cooking drips by gamma ray irradiation. Cooking drips which were obtained as by-product after seafood processing in the food industries, still contain lots of proteins, carbohydrates, and other functional materials. But, the seafood cooking drips are easily contaminated because of its rich nutrients, and their color are very dark. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the quality of seafood cooking drips including Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleini, and Thunnus thynnus.
The Hunter's color values L, Brightness of H. The crude protein content and crude lipid content were increased by gamma irradiation. These results indicated that gamma irradiation increased extraction efficiency of available compounds in cooking drips. Airborne seafood allergens as a cause of occupational allergy and asthma. Occupational allergy and asthma is a serious adverse health outcome affecting seafood -processing workers.
Allergic reactions are directed to two major seafood groups: fish and shellfish, with the latter group comprising crustaceans and molluscs. Several allergenic proteins have been identified in these different groups, but few have been characterised on a molecular level.
Parvalbumin appears to be the major fish allergen, while tropomyosin the major crustacean allergen. Other IgE-binding proteins have also been identified in molluscs and other seafood -associated agents e. Anisakis sp , although their molecular nature has not been characterised. This contemporary review discusses interesting and recent findings in the area of occupational seafood allergy including high-risk occupations, environmental risk factors for airborne exposures, major and minor allergens implicated and innovative approaches in diagnosing and managing occupational allergy and asthma associated with seafood processing.
Prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat seafood marketed in Thessaloniki Northern Greece. Full Text Available Aim: In the current study, a contribution to the knowledge on the prevalence and level of contamination of Listeria monocytogenes in ready-to-eat RTE seafood marketed in Thessaloniki Northern Greece was provided; the serovar identity of the L. Materials and Methods: A total of RTE seafood samples consisting of 74 smoked fish products, 18 salted fish products, 16 dried fish products, 9 raw marinated fish products, 10 cooked marinated cephalopods and 5 surimi crab stick products were analyzed.
For the identification of serotypes a second multiplex PCR assay was used which clusters L. Results: Of the samples examined, 11 8. Only in one sample of smoked mackerel the level of L. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that L. However, the presence of this human pathogen in RTE seafood should not be overlooked, but it should be considered as having significance public health implications, particularly among the persons who are at greater risk. Therefore, RTE seafood should be produced under appropriate hygienic and technological conditions since the product does not undergo any treatment before consumption.
Seafood Technology. This presentation will fill the total picture of this conference between fisheries and aquaculture, blue biotech and bioconservation, by considering the optimal processing technology of marine resources from the raw material until the seafood reaches the plate of the consumer.
The situation today The most important aspects to be considered within seafood technology today are safety, healthy products and high eating quality. Safety can be divided into microbiological safety Seafood is healthy due to the omega-3 fatty acids and the nutritional value of vitamins, peptides and proteins.
The processing technology must however be performed such that these valuable features are not lost during production. The same applies to the eating quality. Gephart, Jessica A. Freshwater use for food production is projected to increase substantially in the coming decades with population growth, changing demographics, and shifting diets.
Ensuring joint food-water security has prompted efforts to quantify freshwater use for different food products and production methods. However, few analyses quantify freshwater use for seafood production, and those that do use inconsistent water accounting. This ' seafood gap' in the food-water nexus literature will become increasingly problematic as seafood consumption is growing globally and aquaculture is one of the fastest growing animal food sectors in the world.
Therefore, the present study 1 reviews freshwater use concepts as they relate to seafood production; 2 provides three cases to highlight the particular water use concerns for aquaculture, and; 3 outlines future directions to integrate seafood into the broader food-water nexus discussion.
By revisiting water use concepts through a focus on seafood production systems, we highlight the key water use processes that should be considered for seafood production and offer a fresh perspective on the analysis of freshwater use in food systems more broadly. Seafood products are a common consumer choice and a variety of cooking methods are used in seafood preparation. Although often cooked, products such as shrimp and salmon remain some of the most common carriers of foodborne disease.
Cooking these products at elevated temperatures efficiently reduces foodborne disease causing pathogens to a safe level , but applying too much heat to seafood products can produce an overcooked, low quality food. It is necessary to investigate the cooking proces Prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. Although several etiological agents can be transmitted through seafood consumption, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp.
No contamination with L. The prevalence of S. Further, our findings indicate that 2. Owing to the potential hazard of these pathogenic bacteria, multiplex PCR can provide a rapid and cost-effective method for the surveillance of these pathogens in seafood products. Other focus areas are health of young populations, to treat overweight, to prevent osteoporosis and postpartum depression The total value chain is addressed by developing consumer driven tailor-made, functional seafood products to improve health and to ensure nutritional quality and safety by full utilisation Effects of industrial processing on essential elements and regulated and emerging contaminant levels in seafood.
Mitigation of contaminants in industrial processing was studied for prawns cooked and peeled , Greenland halibut cold smoked and Atlantic salmon cold smoked and trimmed. Raw prawns had significantly higher cadmium, chromium, iron, selenium and zinc content in autumn than in spring, while Peeling raw prawns increased mercury concentration but reduced the concentration of all other elements including inorganic arsenic, total arsenic, chromium, zinc, selenium but especially cadmium, copper and iron p.
New insights into seafood allergy. Seafood plays an important role in human nutrition worldwide, sustained by international trade of a variety of new seafood products. Increased production and consumption have resulted in more frequent reports of adverse reactions, highlighting the need for more specific diagnosis and treatment of seafood allergy.
This review discusses recent literature in this field. Furthermore, the demonstration of species-specific sensitization to salt-water and fresh-water prawns and processed prawn extract should improve diagnosis. Studies on humans demonstrated for the first time that biologically active fish allergens can be detected in serum samples as early as 10 min after ingestion. These studies highlight that minute amounts of ingested seafood allergens can quickly trigger allergic symptoms; also, inhaled airborne allergens seem to induce sensitization and reactions.
In the past 2 years, over 10 additional seafood allergens have been characterized. Allergen-specific detection assays in food products are available for crustacean tropomyosin; however, many specific mollusk and some fish allergens are not readily identified.
Although cross-reactivity between crustacean and mollusks as well as mites is demonstrated, the often poor correlation of IgE reactivity and clinical symptoms calls for more detailed investigations. The recent development of hypoallergenic parvalbumin from carp could form the basis for safer vaccination products for treatment of fish allergy. Molecular characterization of more universal marker allergens for the three major seafood groups will improve current component-resolved clinical diagnosis and have a significant impact on the management of allergic patients, on food labeling and on future immunotherapy for seafood allergy.
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons bioaccessibility in seafood : Culinary practices effects on dietary exposure. This work aimed to determine the effect of culinary practices on the contamination level and bioaccessibility of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs in seafood. The selected farmed seafood species marine shrimp, clams and seaweed were commercially available in Portugal. The mean concentrations of PAHs varied between 0.
The number of compounds detected in seaweed and clams naphthalene, acenaphthene, fluorene, phenanthrene, benzo b fluoranthene and benzo j fluoranthene were higher than in shrimp fluorene and pyrene. Among the PAHs measured, fluorene was the predominant one.
According to the potency equivalent concentrations, screening values and bioaccessibility of PAHs, the consumption of marine shrimp, clam and seaweed is considered as safe for consumers. Irradiation preservation of seafood : Literature review.
The application of gamma-irradiation for extending the shelf life of seafood has been of interest for many years. This report reviews a number of studies on seafood irradiation conducted over the past several years. Topics covered include seafood irradiation techniques and dosages, species applicability and differences, the effects of packaging on seafood preservation, and changes in organoleptic acceptability as a result of irradiation.
Particular attention is given to radiation effects likely and unlikely of concern to the public. These include the potential for generation of toxic chemical products, botulinum toxin production, and other health concerns. No scientifically defensible evidence of any kind was found for any harmful effect of irradiation of seafoods at the doses being considered less than krad , and all indications are that irradiation is an acceptable and needed additional tool for seafood preservation.
A contemporary review of seafood allergy. Seafood is common item in the world diet; Asian countries have the highest rates of fish consumption in the world, which is higher than world average.
Several studies have been conducted on the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of seafood allergy in different countries, and some of the fish and seafood allergens unique to those regions have been characterized. Review on published data showed that seafood allergy is very ubiquitous in some regions of the world. Fish and shellfish are the most common seafood that cause adverse allergic reactions among nations; the symptoms ranged from oral allergy syndromes to urticaria and anaphylaxis.
The major identified allergens are parvalbumin in fish and tropomyosin in shellfish. Nevertheless, such studies are lacking from some regions with high fish and seafood consumption. Furthermore, the published data are mostly from small groups of populations, which large-scale epidemiological studies need to be performed. Preliminary results of mercury levels in raw and cooked seafood and their public health impact.
Mercury is toxic for human health and one of the main routes of exposure is through consumption of contaminated fish and shellfish. The objective of this work was to assess the possible mercury contamination of bivalves Anomalocardia brasiliana, Lucina pectinata, Callinectes sapidus , crustacean C. The effect of cooking on Hg concentration in the samples was also studied. The results showed that Hg concentration was generally higher in the cooked samples than in raw samples. The highest concentrations were found in B.
In addition, Hg values found in the other samples also suggest the monitoring of the Hg concentrations in seafood consumed from the region. Maulvault, A. The presence of cadmium Cd , lead Pb , mercury THg , methylmercury MeHg , arsenic TAs , inorganic arsenic iAs , cobalt Co , copper Cu , zinc Zn , nickel Ni , chromium Cr and iron Fe was investigated in seafood collected from European marine ecosystems subjected to strong anthropogenic. Statement: Presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood.
Primary microplastics are plastics. Sum of SCCPs dry weight were in the range of ng. Overall, the C10 and C11 homologues were the most predominant carbon groups of SCCPs in seafood from this area,and a relatively higher proportion of C was observed in seafood with higher concentrations of sum of SCCPs. Statement on the presence of microplastics and nanoplastics in food, with particular focus on seafood.
Primary microplastics are plastics There is no legislation for microplastics and nanoplastics as contaminants in food. Methods are available for identification and quantification of microplastics in food, including seafood.
Occurrence data are limited. In contrast to microplastics no methods or occurrence data in food Nanoplastics can originate from engineered material or can be produced during fragmentation of microplastic debris. Microplastics range from 0. Contaminant levels in Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in the year period from to Environmental pollutants such as dioxins and PCBs, heavy metals, and organochlorine pesticides are a global threat to food safety.
In particular, the aquatic biota can bioaccumulate many of these contaminants potentially making seafood of concern for chronic exposure to humans.
The main objective was to evaluate trends of contaminant levels in Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon in light of the derived tolerable intakes. The fillets of these fish were homogenised and analysed for dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals and organochlorine pesticides. The levels of the contaminants mercury, arsenic, dioxins, dioxin-like PCBs and DDT in Norwegian farmed salmon fillet have decreased during our period of analyses.
The levels of cadmium, lead and several organochlorine pesticides were too close to the limit of quantification to calculate time trends. The contaminant levels in Norwegian farmed salmon have generally decreased between and Excluding other dietary sources, the levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs in allowed consumption of up to 1.
The group of contaminants which was the limiting factor for safe consumption of Norwegian farmed salmon, based on currently established TWI values, is the sum of dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs. Published by Elsevier Ltd. Surimi-based seafood products are widely accepted and enjoyed worldwide. The US consumption increased in s; however, it leveled thereafter. The objectives were 1 chemical characterization of FA composition and oxidation, and 2 determination of physicochemical properties colour and texture of the nutritionally-enhanced surimi seafood.
This study demonstrates that nutritional value of surimi seafood can be enhanced with concurrent improvement of colour and without affecting texture. Risk comparisons relevant to sea disposal of low level radioactive waste. This document contains estimates of, and comparisons among, risks to human health posed by exposures to radionuclides, including those associated with low level radioactive wastes dumping at sea, and organic chemical contaminants resulting from seafood consumption.
This study was conducted at the request of the Contracting Parties to the Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter the London Convention , formerly referred to as the London Dumping Convention as a component of a review of the wider political, legal, economic and social aspects of sea dumping of radioactive wastes.
The highest potential risks associated with seafood consumption are generally those resulting from exposures to naturally occurring radionuclides. The peak annual risks resulting from low level radioactive waste dumping at sea, assessed on any rational basis, are at least two orders of magnitude lower than those associated with the ingestion of common organic chemical contaminants in seafood.
Contaminant levels in Gulf of Mexico reef fish after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill as measured by a fishermen-led testing program. The BP oil disaster posed a significant threat to the U. Invertebrates shrimp, oyster, crab and other nearshore species comprised the majority of postspill testing by federal and state agencies.
Deeper water finfish were sampled less frequently, despite population ranges that overlapped with affected waters. We report on a voluntary testing program with Gulf of Mexico commercial fishermen to ensure the safety of their catch. Seven species of reef fish were tested for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, several metals, and a constituent of Corexit A and A dispersants. Only two of 92 samples had detectable levels of benzo a pyrene-equivalents a combined measure of carcinogenic potency across 7 different PAHs , which were still below federal safety thresholds.
