BACKGROUND Parvalbumins are the most important fish allergens. Polysensitization to various fish species is frequently reported and linked to the cross-reactivity of their parvalbumins. Studies on cross-reactivity and its association to the allergenicity of purified natural parvalbumins from different fish species are still lacking. In addition, some studies indicate that dark muscled fish such...

Method We report a 50 year old patient, who works as a cook. A year ago she presented two episodes of anaphylaxis after eating undercooked fresh fish. Thereafter she removed raw fish from her diet. Ten months later after handling fish (eviscerating it), an hour after hand injuring, she presented itching hands and head, epigastric pain, nausea and severe generalized urticaria. Attended the emerg...

fish roe contains high level of protein and unsaturated fatty acids, but the roe are susceptible to spoilage and its sensorial and qualitative characteristics decrease during storage. salt and antioxidant used in the production of roe to prevent or retard spoilage. this study examined the sensory factors (color, smell, taste, appearance) of rainbow trout roe using plant extracts, such as garlic...

shellfish and anisakis. Prick-by-prick test showed positive reaction to raw angler fish, and negative to cooked angler fish. The handling tests were negative to cooked angler fish, and positive to raw angler fish with immediate development of urticaria in areas of contact. Total serum IgE was 216 kU/L. Fish extracts (angler fish and hake) were extracted in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) by mix...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In the present study, isolation of Streptomyces associated with marine sponges and its bioactive potential against fish and shellfish pathogens were assessed. The Streptomyces sp. were isolated from the marine sponges namely Callyspongia diffusa, Mycale mytilorum, Tedania anhelans and Dysidea fragilis collected from Vizhinjam port, situated in the South-West coast of I...

The palatability of organic chemical extracts from ten of the most abundant sponge species along the Israeli (shallow) coast, eastern Mediterranean Sea (Axinella sp., Axinella polypoides, Chondrilla nucula, Ircinia sp., Psammocinia sp. 1, Psammocinia sp. 2, Psammocinia sp. 3, Psammocinia sp. 4, Sarcotragus sp. and Tetilla sp.) was tested. To examine the generality of the phenomenon, it was eval...

Optimized phenolics from oregano and cranberry extracts were evaluated for antimicrobial activity against Listeria monocytogenes in laboratory media and in beef and fish. The antimicrobial activity increased when oregano and cranberry extracts were mixed at a ratio of 75% oregano and 25% cranberry (wt/wt) with 0.1 mg of phenolic per disk or ml, and the efficacy was further enhanced by lactic ac...

An antimicrobial validatory screening of short nosed tripod fish Triacanthus biaculeatus (Bloch, 1786) collected from the Visakhapatnam coastal waters, India is done in such a way T. biaculeatus muscle extracts were subjected for antimicrobial assay. Antimicrobial screening assay was done in five bacterial pathogens viz., Escherichia coli (MTCC-443), Salmonella typhi (MTCC-421), Pseudomonas aer...
