on the basis of the some studies recently published on the concentration of potentially dangerous levels of mercury, a global pollutant and highly toxic element in sea fish and specially tuna fish, this work has been carried out to determine the concentration of mercury in canned tuna fish, that compose a large majority of the fish most people eat. for this reason, 30 cans, produced by differen...

Directed fishing effort for Atlantic bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), their primary spawning grounds in the western Atlantic, has been prohibited since the 1980s due to a precipitous decline of the spawning stock biomass. However, pelagic longlines targeted at other species, primarily yellowfin tuna and swordfish, continue to catch Atlantic bluefin tuna in the GOM as bycatch. Spatial a...

This document forms part of the 2008 distribution of the TUNA Corpus, Version 1.0. This is the first public release of the complete TUNA Corpus of Referring Expressions. A subset of the corpus was used in the first Shared Task and Evaluation Challenge for NLG, the Attribute Selection for the Generation of Referring Expressions Challenge (ASGRE), co-located with the Workshop on Using Corpora in ...

7.1 Abstract Tuna oil-in-water emulsions containing droplets stabilized by lecithin-chitosan membranes were produced using a two-stage process. Corn syrup solids were added to the emulsions and then the emulsions were spray dried, which produced a powder consisting of smooth spheroid powder microcapsules (diameter = 5-30 μm) containing small tuna oil droplets (diameter <1 μm) embedded within a ...

Canned tuna (n = 240), salmon (n = 16), and mackerel (n = 16) were analyzed for mercury and fatty acids. Average mercury levels were 188, 45, and 55 ppb, respectively, and below the FDA Action Level of 1000 ppb. “Light tuna in water” contained lower mercury (x = 54 ppb) compared with “white/albacore tuna in water,” which contained higher eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid (EPA/DHA) x = ...

Tuna is an adequate source of animal protein tall. Animal-based food ingredients such as tuna have high content but low in fiber so it necessary to add materials that contain meet the nutrients body needs. Fiber contained plant vegetables and nuts, one which found green spinach. Nutritional spinach quite availability many ingredients, provide opportunities be utilized processing diversification...

We report a case of a 17-year-old female adolescent who experienced an episode of exercise-induced anaphylactic reaction following ingestion of tuna sandwich (from soy containing canned tuna). Her medical history revealed that she had previously had one episode of urticaria after ingestion of sulfamethoxazole with trimethoprim and anaphylactic reaction after ingestion of sunflower nuts. Skin pr...

some heavy metals are dangerous to health and there is rising concern about the quality of foodstuffs in some parts of the world. fish, particularly tuna fish, can concentrate huge quantities of several metals from water and they even play a significant role in human nourishment. objectives: in this study, the concentrations of mercury and four trace metals in five brands of canned tuna samples...
