A total of 120 seafood samples, fillets and shrimp (fresh and imported frozen) 30 each, collected from fish markets at Giza Governorate were sensory, bacteriological, chemical investigated. Panelists rejected 5.0 (16.6%) and 0.0 (0.0%) of fresh fillets and shrimp samples, while the ...

Microplastics have been one of the major pollutants in marine environment throughout recent decade. At present, microplastic contamination ecosystems Thailand region has become an increasing environmental concern because ingestion microplastics organisms may adversely influence safety seafood. Cockles and shrimps widely distribute among since they are commercial sources seafood, which be a rout...

Most parasites of marine animals are of little public health concern; however, some helminths are capable of infecting humans. Marine zoonotic infections in humans result from consumption of contaminated edible tissues or products of seafood or, to a lesser extent, from physical contact with contaminated seafood. Worldwide, over 50 species of helminth parasites from fishes, crabs, crayfishes, s...

Studies in countries with high seafood consumption have shown a benefit on fetal growth and child development. The objective of our study was to determine the association between seafood consumption in French pregnant women and fetal growth. Pregnant women included in the EDEN mother-child cohort study completed two food frequency questionnaires on their usual diet in the year before and during...

Increased demand for seafood and its functional by-products has been associated with a concomitant rise in fi shing and aquaculture activities. This increased consumption and processing of seafood is associated with more frequent allergic health problems among seafood processors. This overview of occupational allergies and asthma in seafood exposed workers illustrates the changing nature of the...

A recent EPA-sponsored study of sediment and seafood contamination in Quincy Bay revealed elevated levels of several complex organic pollutants frequently of concern in human health assessments. A seafood consumption risk assessment was conducted using data from samples collected in Quincy Bay in the methodology developed for EPA's Office of Marine and Estuarine Protection for such assessments....

BACKGROUND Recent years have seen increased levels of production and consumption of seafood, leading to more frequent reporting of allergic reactions in occupational and domestic settings. This review focuses on occupational allergy in the fishing and seafood processing industry.

The omnipresence of microfibers in marine environments has raised concerns about their availability to aquatic biota, including commercial fish species. Due tiny size and wide distribution, may be ingested by wild-captured pelagic or benthic farmed Humans are exposed via seafood consumption. Despite the fact that research on impact biota is increasing, knowledge role food security safety limite...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major pathogen that is mainly associated with seafood and is a global food safety issue. Our objective was to isolate and completely sequence a specific phage against this bacterium. Phage vB_VpaM_MAR is able to lyse 76% of the V. parahaemolyticus strains tested. MAR belongs to the Myoviridae family and has a genome comprised of double-stranded DNA with a size of 41...

Historical Perspective Early last century milk products caused approximately 1 out of every 4 outbreaks due to food or water in the United States (Weisbecker 2007). As we begin the 21st century in this country, dairy products cause the fewest outbreaks of all the major food categories (e.g., beef, eggs, poultry, produce, seafood) (CSPI 2008). This drastic improvement in the safety of milk over ...
