in this study mercury was determined in canned tuna fish produced and distributed in iran after digestion by the standard methods of aoac. mercury contents in fish and canned tuna fish were determined by cold vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry. the metal contents expressed in mg/kg wet weight for mercury varied from 0.017 to 0.394 (average of 0. 089) and 0.023 to 0.529 (average of 0.146)...

Canned tuna fish are frequently and largely produced and consumed in Iran and also exported. Therefore, their biogenic amines content should be of some concern to human health. In the present study, the levels of histamine, putrescine, tyramine and spermidine in 40 samples of canned tuna fish were determined. Histamine, as the major chemical hazard of seafood products, was detected in 57.5 % of...

The presence of heavy metals in the environment could constitute a hazard to food security and public health. These can be accumulated in aquatic animals such as fish. Samples of four popular brands of canned fish in the Iranian market (yellowfin tuna, common Kilka, Kawakawa and longtail tuna) were analyzed for level of Cr after wet digestion with acids using graphite furnace atomic absorption ...

Canned fish products are of increasing popularity in Australia; however current Australian nutrient databases do not include data on the percentage fish in these products. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a database of the percentage fish and seafood contained in common canned fish and seafood products, for use in clinical trials. Six major supermarkets in the Illawarra r...

Through collaborative partnerships established between current researchers and The Moton Community House (a local community center), African American women (ages 16-49yrs) from the Southeast Community of Newport News, Virginia, USA were surveyed to assess the reproducibility and consistency of fish consumption patterns (ingestion rates, exposure frequencies, weight, and fish consumption rates) ...
