Sous vide cook-chill mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis): evaluation of chemical, microbiological and sensory quality during chilled storage (3 °C)
2018, LWTCitation Excerpt :While mussels have been subjected to chilled storage (Erkan, 2005; Gökoǧlu, 2002), modified atmosphere packaging (Goulas, Nessi, Kontominas, & Savaidis, 2005a; Pastoriza & Bernardez, 2011), freezing (Gökoǧlu, Erkan, & Ӧzden, 2000), cooking and vacuum cooling (Cavalheiro et al., 2013; De Lima et al., 2017), smoking (Turan, Sönmez, Çelik, & Kaya, 2008) and canning (Şengör, Gün, & Kalatofatoğlu, 2004) sous vide cook-chill processing has never been considered. Bivalve mollusk, as filter feeders, can accumulate microorganisms, including pathogens, from seawater and the number and type of microorganisms present in the water depend on several seasonal, climatic and anthropogenic factors (Šolìć, Krstulović, Jozić, & Curać, 1999). Even if their harvesting and commercialization is regulated by the EC directive 79/923 (Anonymous, 1979), which defines the classification of the rearing waters and by the EC directive 91/942 (Anonymous, 1991), which states the safety standards for live mollusk sale, the application of heat treatment according to the range of time/temperature proposals by EFSA (2015), ICMSF (1996) and European commission (1997), may also ensure safety for bivalve mollusk, considering the risk of pathogenic microorganisms such as Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Clostridium botulinum and Listeria monocytogenes.
Bioaccumulation and persistence of faecal bacterial and viral indicators in Mytilus edulis and Crassostrea gigas
2016, International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental HealthCitation Excerpt :However, E. coli and faecal coliforms exhibited a different pattern of bioaccumulation compared with the phages and intestinal enterococci, in that they were recorded at significantly greater levels in oysters than in mussels. Many authors have highlighted the effect of temperature and salinity on physiological indicators (such as clearance and absorption efficiency) in shellfish species (Martinez and Oliveira, 2010; Šolić et al., 1999). Another study observed that the clearance rate and absorption efficiency in mussels (Perna perna) exhibited inhibition at extreme salinities of 15 and 40 ppt (Resgalla Jr et al., 2007).
Impact of urban and industrial effluents on the coastal marine environment in Oran, Algeria
2015, Marine Pollution BulletinCitation Excerpt :Measurements were similar to the results obtained in the literature (Guibot, 1987). In fact, temperature is an essential parameter to control surface trade intensity and sea-air circumstances in marine science (Šolić et␣al., 1999; Chevaldonne and Lejeusney, 2003; Schifano et␣al., 2013). Salinity closes to the coast was ranged between 36 g/l and 37 g/l, usually linked with variations in local rainfall and temperatures.
Microbiological composition of native and exotic clams from Tagus estuary: Effect of season and environmental parameters
2013, Marine Pollution BulletinCitation Excerpt :This fact might explain the higher contamination levels detected in Barreiro compared to Trafaria. The present study revealed that E. coli concentrations in R. philippinarum were positively correlated with bacterial levels in water, which is consistent with other field surveys performed on levels of E. coli in mussels (Plusquellec et al., 1990; Solic et al., 1999). However, no correlations were identified for V. pullastra.
The role of river sediments in contamination storage downstream of a waste water treatment plant in low flow conditions: Organotins, faecal indicator bacteria and nutrients
2012, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf ScienceCitation Excerpt :An increase in nutrient inputs might be beneficial to green opportunistic algae (Plus et al., 2006), while harmful algal blooms are suspected to be linked to the reduction of nutrient loading from the catchment area (Collos et al., 2009). Shellfish, as filter-feeding organisms, are able to filter several litres of seawater daily and accumulate TTC (Solic et al., 1999), pathogenic bacteria (Ristori et al., 2007) and organotins (Hoch, 2001; Viglino et al., 2006). Therefore their consumption may pose a threat for human health.
