Total mercury content in canned tuna: Risk assessment
Mercury is a chemical element that has caused controversy regarding its presence in tuna and its relation to human health, as its dietary overexposure can cause severe diseases in humans. Fishery products, and especially tuna, are reported to be important sources of mercury. However, it has been shown that not all species accumulate this element in significant concentrations for human health and which is why this study has been carried out. The main objective is to determine the total mercury content in samples of water-packed canned tuna marketed in Tenerife and to evaluate its dietary exposure. A total of 60 samples of water-packed canned tuna were acquired. The highest concentration was found in the Carrefour brand (0.858 mg/kg of wet weight). Total mercury intake results in contribution percentages to the TWI from 4.7 % (for the elderly with a body weight of 71.2 kg) to 73.68 % (for infants with a body weight of 4.8 kg). According to the results obtained, the only population group that would be at risk of dietary overexposure to mercury from canned tuna would be infants; however, this product is not part of their normal diet.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
