Abstract
Concern on heavy metal pollution in canned aquatic products has been increasing. We analyzed 11 elements in 365 canned aquatic products collected from Zhejiang Province, southeast China and performed a risk assessment using target hazard quotient (THQ) and hazard index (HI). The mean concentrations of Hg, As, Pb, and Cd (main toxic elements) were 0.023, 0.742, 0.081, and 0.070 mg/kg wet weight, respectively. Strong positive correlation with their concentrations in canned aquatic products were found in Mn-Ni (r = 0.68), Cu-Ni (r = 0.60), and Al-Mn (r = 0.60). Elemental detection frequencies and levels varied depending on the type of species and sampling months. Exposure risk assessment showed that the THQs of different groups (children, adolescents, and adults) were all less than 1, indicating lower health risks. The THQ value of Cd accounted for over 50% of the all THQs. At high exposure level (P95), HI was equal to or greater than 1, which showed a possible health risk.
期刊介绍:
Food Control is an international journal that provides essential information for those involved in food safety and process control.
Food Control covers the below areas that relate to food process control or to food safety of human foods:
• Microbial food safety and antimicrobial systems
• Mycotoxins
• Hazard analysis, HACCP and food safety objectives
• Risk assessment, including microbial and chemical hazards
• Quality assurance
• Good manufacturing practices
• Food process systems design and control
• Food Packaging technology and materials in contact with foods
• Rapid methods of analysis and detection, including sensor technology
• Codes of practice, legislation and international harmonization
• Consumer issues
• Education, training and research needs.
The scope of Food Control is comprehensive and includes original research papers, authoritative reviews, short communications, comment articles that report on new developments in food control, and position papers.
