Marine Animal Co-Products—How Improving Their Use as Rich Sources of Health-Promoting Lipids Can Foster Sustainability

Marine Drugs, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(2), P. 73 - 73

Published: Jan. 30, 2024

Marine lipids are recognized for their-health promoting features, mainly being the primary sources of omega-3 fatty acids, and therefore critical human nutrition in an age when global supply these nutrients is experiencing unprecedent pressure due to ever-increasing demand. The seafood industry originates a considerable yield co-products worldwide that, while already explored other purposes, remain mostly undervalued as sustainable healthy lipids, often low-value oil production. These especially appealing lipid since, besides well-known nutritional upside marine animal fat, which particularly rich polyunsaturated they also have interesting bioactive properties, may garner them further interest, not only food, but high-end applications. Besides added value that represent valuable sources, there obvious ecological reducing waste. In this sense, repurposing bioresources will contribute more use strain on heavily depleted stocks. Therefore, untapping potential aligns with both health environmental goals by guaranteeing additional eco-conscious practices.

Long-Term Heavy Metal Bioaccumulation in Sprat (Sprattus sprattus) from the Romanian Black Sea: Ecological and Human Health Risks in the Context of Sustainable Fisheries

Fishes, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 10(4), P. 178 - 178

Published: April 15, 2025

This study evaluates the heavy metals concentrations in sprat (Sprattus sprattus, Linnaeus, 1758) from Romanian Black Sea, assessing both ecological implications and human health risks associated with consumption. Using long-term data spanning 1994–2019, levels of copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr) dorsal muscle tissues were analyzed to identify contamination trends episodic pollution events. Although most remained below regulatory thresholds, occasional exceedances Cd Pb suggest intermittent inputs. Health assessed using dietary indices including estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total (TTHQ), carcinogenic risk index (CRI). Findings indicate that, under current exposure levels, regular consumption poses minimal risk. However, prolonged during peak periods may contribute cumulative toxic effects, for ecosystem stability food safety. Given persistence their interactions co-occurring pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), ongoing monitoring remains essential. supports development sustainable environmental policies aimed at protecting marine biodiversity consumer Sea region.

Influence of Fish Species and Wood Type on Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Contamination in Smoked Fish Meat

Foods, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 13(12), P. 1790 - 1790

Published: June 7, 2024

Despite the numerous sensory, organoleptic and nutritional qualities, fish meat may also contain some toxic compounds with negative effects on human health. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of chemicals resulting from incomplete combustion, found at high levels in thermally processed foods, especially smoked fish. This research studied influence wood type (beech, plum oak) species (rainbow trout, carp Siberian sturgeon) PAH contamination hot Benzo(a)Piren, Σ4PAHs Σ15PAHs were considered as main indicators contamination. All-PAHs was quantified all samples, indicating specific dynamic values due to variables. Generally, BaP (benzo(a)pyrene) content samples ranged 0.11 µg/kg 8.63 µg/kg, 0.70 45.24 17.54 450.47 µg/kg.

Gestational nutrition can protect against adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. We developed a short tool for collecting maternal nutritional intake during pregnancy to facilitate research in this area and compared its retrospective use prospectively-collected food frequency questionnaires (FFQ). Maternal was retrospectively assessed using three versions (full interview, full self-administered online, shortened interview) of the Early Life Exposure Assessment Tool (ELEAT) among participants MARBLES cohort study younger siblings autistic children. Retrospective responses were with supplement questions validated 2005 Block FFQ prospectively collected pregnancies 2–7 years prior.
