However, there is currently no specific analysis of the flux profile of selenium intake and dietary health evaluation in tilapia. In addition, it is important for consumers to obtain relevant assessments of the selenium content in different species of tilapia. This will enable different age groups to plan their dietary intake in an organized manner accordingly. We counted the total import and export volume of tilapia in China. Furthermore, we modeled the distribution of selenium content based on the production mode on this basis. The study also delved into the distribution pattern of selenium content within China (n=147). Guangdong, as the production place of tilapia, is the largest e-commerce channel for consumers. The median selenium measured in frozen tilapia, pickled tilapia and canned tilapia was 0.233 mg/kg, 0.239 mg/kg and 1.073 mg/kg respectively. It is evident that adults globally should regulate their consumption of canned tilapia to avoid selenium toxicity. Furthermore, relying solely on tilapia consumption is insufficient to meet the selenium needs of infants. The findings underscore the nutritional value of tilapia in diets. Additionally, these insights can facilitate a comprehensive assessment of the health implications associated with dietary choices, enabling the formulation of targeted advice for various age groups worldwide.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Composition and Analysis","volume":"137 ","pages":"Article 106916"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142661043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, circumstances can arise when infants are unable to be breastfed from birth. In such cases, the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends donor human milk (DHM) as the safest alternative. Current practices freeze DHM and transport it under a cold supply chain, which can create logistical challenges. Here, we investigated the efficacy of freeze-drying as a method for determining the compositional stability of DHM. The samples were freeze-dried and stored at −20°C, 4°C and ambient temperature, with sampling at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The macronutrient composition was assessed before and after freeze-drying, protein and lipid profiles were studied using MALDI-TOF MS, and the metabolite profile was analysed through LA-REIMS. The findings revealed that freeze-drying did not significantly alter the macronutrient composition and that microbiological safety was preserved. Lipid, protein, and metabolite fingerprints remained consistent across storage conditions over 12 months. This work provides a broad insight into the compositional stability of DHM after freeze-drying. It suggests the applicability of freeze-drying for long-term preservation without a cold supply chain.
