Tetrodotoxins (TTX) are a potent group of natural neurotoxins putatively produced by symbiotic microorganisms and affecting the aquatic environment. These have been recently found in some species bivalves gastropods along European Coasts (Greece, UK, The Netherlands) linked to presence high concentrations Vibrio, particular Vibrio parahaemolyticus. This study is focused on evaluation TTX (mussels, oysters, cockles, clams, scallops, razor clams) from Galician Rias (northwest Spain). detection...
The presence of emerging contaminants in food and the sources contamination are relevant issues safety. impact climate change on these contaminations is a topic widely debated; however, consequences for system not as deeply studied other human animal health welfare issues. Projections Europe have been evaluated through EU Commission, marine environment considered priority issue. Marine biotoxins produced by toxic microalgae natural environment. They to be an important contaminant that needs...
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin, considered an emerging toxin in Europe where recently safety limit of 44 µg TTX kg
Abstract Background Given the recent detection of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in bivalve molluscs but absence a full collaborative validation study for TTX determination large number shellfish samples, interlaboratory assessment method performance was required to better understand current capabilities accurate and reproducible quantitation using chemical immunoassay methods. Objective The aim conduct an with multiple laboratories, results assess acceptability different testing Methods Homogenous...
Emerging risk identification is a priority for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). The goal of Galician Risks Network (RISEGAL) emerging risks in foods produced and commercialized Galicia (northwest Spain) order to propose prevention plans mitigation strategies. In this work, RISEGAL applied systematic approach food safety potentially affecting bivalve shellfish. First, comprehensive review scientific databases was carried out identify hazards most quoted as bivalves period 2016–2018....
