- ItemHeavy metal contamination in seafood(SMART AGRIPOST, 2020)Global population is depending upon seafood as a healthy diet choice because of its richness in high value proteins, health beneficial vitamins, minerals and poly unsaturated fatty acids. Fish is also a primary protein source in most parts of the world. Even though fish supplies many health benefits, seafood can be compromised by different chemical contaminants which areharmful to consumers. Among the environmental chemical contaminants, heavy metals are reported as the most commonly occurring one in seafood mainly lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury.
- ItemSeafood allergy and its prevalence(MPEDA Newsletter, 2020)Food allergy is a problem of public health importance which is to be considered seriously. There are different kinds of adverse reactions to food materials which are broadly divided into two groups called as food intolerance and food allergy.
- ItemEffect of house hold pressure cooking on shrimp allergic protein, tropomyosin(Fishtech Reporter, 2020)Seafood associated food allergy, particularly due to shrimp consumption, is showing an increasing trend in recent times. Allergic or hypersensitivity reactions are inappropriate responses of the immune system to a normally harmless substance. Seafood allergy comes under type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction, mediated through immunoglobulin E (IgE). Tropomyosin, a major shrimp allergen, is a myofibrillar protein with molecular weight ranging from 34 to 38 kDa and linked with regulation of muscle contraction along with actin and myosin. It is a heat stable protein which can elicit allergenicity in sensitive individuals through the binding of IgE specific epitopes (Motoyama et al., 2006).
- ItemElectron Beam Irradiated Tilapia Fish Chunk: Quality and Shelf Life under Chilled Storage(ICAR-CIFT, 2019)Electron beam irradiation of fish chunks were done and biochemical parameters like proximate composition, pH, total volatile base nitrogen,(TVB-N), peroxide value (PV) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were analyzed.
