    Researchers recognize the silent, negative and deleterious effects caused by mercury pollution in gold mining areas. Freshwater turtles are culturally part of the diet of riverside populations in the Amazon region and this area presents mercury (Hg) pollution issues mainly due to gold mining activities. Thus, this research aimed to evaluate the total mercury (THg) content in the different organs of Amazonian giant river turtle (Podocnemis expansa) and carry out a human health risk assessment associated with the consumption of these animals. This study was conducted in the Vila Balbina, municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, state of Amazonas, Brazil. Skin (n = 28), muscle (n = 19) and brain (n = 2) samples were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (TDA-AAS) and a DMA-80™ mercury analyzer was used for the total mercury determinations. The average values found for THg in the skin, muscle and brain samples were, respectively, 0.1045 mg·kg−1, 0.1092 mg·kg−1 and 0.0601 mg·kg−1. Thus, THg was observed even though the P. expansa were kept in captivity, possibly due to previous contamination by air, water and food. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) was calculated considering a 9.07 g·day−1 intake dose of P. expansa and the consumption of turtles once a week showed an HQ = 2.45, which may cause long-term injuries to human health. Although the muscle concentrations were below the maximum limit established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Brazilian regulatory agencies, it is important to evaluate consumption factors such as amount ingested, frequency and animal gender, which may cause a potential risk to regular consumers due to mercury bioaccumulation. The WHO may consider various aspects in order to warn the Amazon population about the severity and silent hazard of this metal, especially due to the importance of this matrix in the region. This region urgently needs government actions to inhibit clandestine mining and to prevent future serious, chronic health problems of the entire population.

    Journal of Aquatic Food Product Technology, 2019
    The Malaysian freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii was used for nutritional, bacteriological and sensory evaluations. Prawns were refrigerated (0 ± 1°C) and divided into two groups named T1 and T2 corresponding to permeable and impermeable (O2/CO2) packaging, respectively, in order to evaluate their shelf life. The percent composition ensured its high nutritional value, and consumer testing showed that acceptability was close to ideal, with good purchase intent. The type of treatment did not significantly influence the parameters assessed, and the shelf life was established as 150 h. The mesophilic bacteria count was the determining factor for quality assessment. Total volatile basic nitrogen and pH were not good parameters for evaluating quality, whereas the biogenic amines, especially agmatine, appeared to be appropriate quality parameters.

    Phenolic compounds from grape waste have been used for researches as an alternative for food processing. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of skin and seed Muscadine grape extracts from viticulture waste over bacterial growth, antioxidant activity, and color on Atlantic salmon fillet. Total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were evaluated by Folin–Ciocalteu and DPPH assays. Samples were analyzed by mesophilic count; pH, peroxide value and TBARS; and color parameters. It was observed that there is an influence over lag phase on bacterial growth. Primary oxidation was reduced (p < 0.05) on samples treated with seed extract. Treatments with skin extract suggested (p > 0.05) that astaxanthin was more effective on antioxidant activity. Samples treated with skin extract showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) on L*, a*, and b* values. Skin and seed extracts applicability showed to be an interesting alternative for food industries to synthetic antimicrobial and antioxidants. Practical applications Several thousand tons of waste are produced every year by viniculture, increasing the environmental situation. This study can contribute to reduce the problem and improve the fish quality for using immersion of polyphenol solution under fillet, which can be an interesting alternative for fishery industry.

    The presence of pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EC) represents risks to public health and to economy of Brazilian beef industry. In this context, the application of lactic acid (LA) is an efficient practice employed to reduce bacterial count without compromising consumer safety. Our aim was to verify the inhibitory effect of LA application combined with aging and different packaging on EC and its effects on beef color. The LA effect on EC counts was concentration dependent during aging and storage, with T2 (10% of LA added) demonstrating greater (p .05) EC counts, however reduced (p .05) after application and during storage. LA treatment (T2) promoted a reduction in E. coli O157:H7, despite the effects on beef color. Practical applications The present data evidence a breakthrough in lactic acid (LA) researches once evaluate the inhibitory effect of aging, LA concentration and package on Escherichia coli O157:H7 and the influence of these technologies in beef color. Moreover, the data presented allow clarifying the meat industry about the potential use of LA preservation on beef.

  • Effect of lactic acid On Escherichia Coli O157: H7 and on color stability of vacuum-packaged beef steaks under high storage temperature

    The effect of lactic acid (LA) addition on Escherichia coli O157:H7 survivability as well as the color stability was determined in vacuum-packaged beef steaks storage at 10°C for 50 days. Longissimus dorsi muscle was portioned into beef steaks and inoculated with Escherichia coli O157:H7. Afterwards, the samples were submitted at three treatments: without lactic acid addition or non-treated (NT); with 0.56 M (5%, v/v) (L5), and with 1.13 M (10%, v/v) (L10) of lactic acid addition. Same division was performed with samples non inoculated. All samples were package at vacuum and stored at 10ºC during 50 days. L10 demonstrated an efficient bacteriostatic effect (P &lt; 0.05) against E. coli O157:H7 and total aerobic mesophilic bacteria. Nonetheless, LA induced a decrease (P &lt; 0.05) in a* values in samples after application and during storage, promoting discoloration of beef steaks. Therefore, L10 was efficient in controlling E. coli O157:H7 even at abusive storage temperatures. However, this decontamination treatment affects negatively the color stability of beef.

    Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2015
    BACKGROUND This research aimed to investigate whether consumer acceptance is affected by information on sustainable practices on the product label. Hedonic evaluations of freshwater prawns were performed by 80 consumers under three aspects: the blind condition - consumers taste samples without information; expected - without tasting samples, consumers evaluated the message 'Freshwater prawns were grown using sustainable practices, reducing environmental impacts caused by traditional breeding'; informed - in which prawns were tasted and the card evaluated. RESULTS For the entire consumer group, it was observed that the message about sustainability on packaging increased freshwater prawn acceptability (8.25, expected condition (E) versus 6.75, blind condition (B)). High scores were observed under all three test conditions, ranging from 6 (like slightly) to 9 (like extremely), on a 9-point scale. CONCLUSION It can be concluded that the use of sustainable information can influence consumers' perception and increase their preference toward freshwater prawns, and even increase the sensory attributes of the product.
