<em>Eustrongylides</em> spp. is considered a freshwater fish zoonotic nematode. In the present study, prevalence of in six edible (European perch - <em>Perca fluviatilis</em>, goldfish <em>Carassius auratus</em>, largemouth black bass <em>Micropterus salmoides</em>, tench- <em>Tinca tinca</em>, carp <em>Cyprinus carpio</em> and sand smelt Atherina boyeri) Trasimeno lake was surveyed. The investigations were conducted...
The nutritional profile and the consumer preference of fish burgers made from carp, goldfish, perch, tench were investigated. Perch goldfish burgers, which have highest proportion eicosapentaenoic acid (6.63% 4.90%, respectively) docosahexaenoic (20.28% 11.99%, respectively), showed lower absolute amounts these fatty acids (17.03 10.10 mg/100 g food, than carp (31.16 49.63 respectively). evaluation established that differences in perception exist. overall liking taste main attributes...
The aim of our study was to describe the balance between health benefits and risks associated with consumption crawfish nine fish species from lake Trasimeno. We thus determined both fatty acid profiles (particularly, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids) chemical pollutants (some polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, heavy metals) in muscle tissues. contents all acids varied significantly among species. Sand smelt, carp, tench, which have a high fat content, contained...
This work was undertaken to assess the long-term impacts of a ruminal transponder, used for electronic identification, on motility and health performance cattle, as well study electromagnetic effects bacteria in vitro. A passive transponder (51.4 g, 67 x 17 mm) delivered into forestomachs 8 calves, 32 bulls, 10 heifers, 40 dairy cows. Final readability 87.5% 96.9% 90% 100% cows at 481, 360, 650, 601 d, respectively, after administration. The did not affect production or reproduction over...
An experimental study for the evaluation of <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> inactivation during a hot smoking process in tench was performed using innocua</em> strains. Furthermore, survival <em>L. smoked determined after post-processing contaminated samples, evaluating growth potential storage. not detected process. In challenge test, 5.68 log colony forming unit g<sup>−1</sup>. The results showed that at an inner temperature around 72°C is able to...
Among brominated flame retardants (BFRs), polybrominateddiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) were the most widely used in past decades. BFRs not being chemically bonded to polymers means they can easily leach from products into environment bioaccumulate. Humans are exposed mainly through food consumption, especially fish products. In present study, occurrence of PBDEs HBCDs freshwater fishes crayfish Lake Trasimeno (Umbria region, central Italy) was assessed according...
Atherina boyeri is the primary source of fishing profit in Lake Trasimeno and a common host for Eustrongylides spp. larvae. The presence fish public health concern, effective risk management procedures are necessary to guarantee that infected products do not reach market. Currently, European Union, there no official sampling plan fresh defines sample size, inspection methods, criteria accepting or rejecting product. An approach proposed this study. A total 270 batches boyeri, each consisting...
The present study evaluated the safety, nutritional and sensory properties of fish pâtés made from smoked tench (Tinca tinca) pulp. Two formulations pâté were produced, one which included olive oil other contained mascarpone cheese. prepared jars thermally treated according to method applied in canning industry. inactivation Clostridium botulinum during thermal treatment was determined through a challenge test study, demonstrating complete depletion targeted bacteria. Tench showed high...
Fish are good bio-indicators of the health status aquatic environment and can be used as biomarkers to assess behavior environmental pollutants, exposure organisms, risk for consumers. Goldfish a significant bioindicator in Lake Trasimeno system (Umbria, Italy). This study aimed characterize chemical biotic contamination define its anthropogenic natural pressures associated with consuming fishery products. 114 determinations were performed on Carassius auratus samples from 2018 2020,...
The behavior of trees toward environmental actions is particularly influenced by their dynamic properties. In-situ tests and numerical models represent valuable tools for deriving the main characteristics studying response to actions. Regarding models, a key aspect certainly concerns calibration. majority procedures available in literature generally suggest use relevant number instruments (accelerometers placed on both trunk branches) with consequent amount costs time consuming. Aim this...
