background: histamine is a food-borne chemical hazard which causes scombroid poisoning. the efficiency of histamine recovery from fish is greatly influenced by selection of an appropriate extraction solvent. hence, in this study the efficiency of different extraction solvents on recovery of histamine from fresh, frozen and canned fish was evaluated. methods: fresh, frozen and canned rainbow tro...

Canned tuna fish are frequently and largely produced and consumed in Iran and also exported. Therefore, their biogenic amines content should be of some concern to human health. In the present study, the levels of histamine, putrescine, tyramine and spermidine in 40 samples of canned tuna fish were determined. Histamine, as the major chemical hazard of seafood products, was detected in 57.5 % of...

Background: The presence of heavy metals in the environment could constitute a hazard to food security and public health. These can be accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish. Canned fish is consumed regularly in many countries. In this study, the levels of heavy metals Cu, Ni, Fe and Cr were evaluated in commercial canned fish products that are commonly consumed in Iran. The canned fish ...

Lipid damages were studied during a prolonged storage of canned fish. Albacore tuna was processed at two sterilization conditions (115°C, 74 min; 120°C, 40 min) and then stored up to six years. Analyses (lipid oxidation and hydrolysis, browning, fluorescent compounds formation) were achieved on the lipids extracted from the white muscle of the fish and on the packing oils. Muscle lipids were pa...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released its report: A Quantitative Assessment of the Net Effects on Fetal Neurodevelopment from Eating Commercial Fish (As Measured by IQ and also by Early Age Verbal Development in Children). By evaluating the benefits and potential concerns of eating fish during pregnancy and breastfeeding, the analysis suggests that pregnant women consumi...

Through collaborative partnerships established between current researchers and The Moton Community House (a local community center), African American women (ages 16-49yrs) from the Southeast Community of Newport News, Virginia, USA were surveyed to assess the reproducibility and consistency of fish consumption patterns (ingestion rates, exposure frequencies, weight, and fish consumption rates) ...

Establishing n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid contents in canned wild Alaska pink salmon products is challenging due to ample natural variation found in lipid content of pink salmon muscle. This study investigated the effect of adding salmon oil (SO) to canned pink salmon produced from fish exhibiting two opposite degrees of skin watermarking, bright (B) and dark (D). Specific goals of the study ...

Sci., 20: 834-838 the presence of biogenic amines in foods is a chemical indication of food spoilage. therefore, monitoring of biogenic amines levels in food and food products is important. In this study, total number of 80 canned tuna fish samples of four diff...
