Seafood plays a vital role in human diets worldwide, serving as an important source of high-quality protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins minerals that promote health prevent various chronic conditions. The benefits seafood consumption are well documented, including reduced risk cardiovascular diseases, improved cognitive function, anti-inflammatory effects. However, the safety is compromised by multiple hazards can pose significant risks. Pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, parasites, addition to microbial metabolites, prominent causes foodborne diseases linked consumption, necessitating reliable detection monitoring systems. Molecular biology digital techniques have emerged tools for rapid accurate identification these pathogens, enhancing protocols. Additionally, presence chemical contaminants such heavy metals (e.g., mercury lead), microplastics, per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) increasing concern due their potential accumulate food chain adversely affect health. biogenic amines formed during degradation proteins allergens present certain species also contribute challenges. This review aims address nutritional value health-promoting effects while exploring multifaceted risks associated with contamination, pollutants, naturally occurring substances. Emphasis placed on enhanced surveillance, traceability, sustainable aquaculture practices, regulatory harmonization effective strategies controlling thereby contributing safer supply chain.

The Overview of the Possible Exposure of Infants to Microplastics

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2024

Microplastics are small plastic pieces with sizes less than 5 mm. They becoming a global concern due to the potential risk human health. The risks of microplastics may be greater for infants because they do not have sufficiently developed metabolizing enzymes, lower ability remove them, high sensitivity target organs. Infants should breastfed first six months life. Breast milk is considered most complete and suitable source nutrition. However, if breastfeeding during this period possible, it necessary use formulas designed infant initial feeding. exposed higher levels MPs through foods or plastics products. aim study describe possible sources exposure such as placenta, feeding bottles, toys well presence released in feces, breast formulas. There still enough data available from studied area. Therefore, pay increased attention minimizing negative effects on
