Sroy S, Avallone S, Servent A, In S, Arnaud E. Does drying preserve the nutritional quality of small freshwater fish without excessive concentrations of heavy metals? Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100489. [PMID: 37095831 PMCID: PMC10121635 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2023.100489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2022] [Revised: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
The potential of drying to preserve the nutritional quality of a small freshwater fish Henicorhynchus siamensis was assessed. Drying time to reach moisture content and water activity of 10 g/100g and 0.65 ranged from 55 h at 50 °C to 20 h at 80 °C, respectively. Dried fish powder is rich in macronutrients (protein, lipid and ash) and essential minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron and zinc) due to water removal and despite lipid loss. It is still rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids although docosahexaenoic acid was reduced except at 60°C. Vitamin A was rapidly degraded and manganese was concentrated at high level. However, mean score for the nutritional adequacy of the 15 nutrients (SAIN) and score of nutrients to limit (LIM) show that the fish powder can be used as a food ingredient for example in the formulation of fish snack or instant soup. With the abundance of Henicorhynchus siamensis, dried fish powder from this species could contribute to food security in Cambodia, especially vulnerable people in rural areas.

Abstract
As a trace element, selenium (Se) has been widely added to food to maintain the physiological homeostasis of the organism. The adverse effects of Se on the reproduction of zebrafish have been investigated, however, the effects of Se on the maturation and apoptosis of zebrafish oocytes remain unclear. In this study, zebrafish embryos (2 h post fertilization, hpf) were exposed to 0, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg Se/L for 120 days. The results demonstrated that exposure to selenite decreased the gonad-somatic index (GSI) and cumulative production of eggs, inhibited oocyte maturation (OM), and increased oocyte apoptosis in females. Exposure to selenite decreased the contents of sex hormones (E2) in the serum and increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the ovary. Furthermore, exposure to selenite downregulated the transcription level of genes on the HPG axis, decreased the phosphorylation level of CyclinB and the protein content of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (Pka), and upregulated the expression of genes (eif2s1a and chop) and proteins (Grp78, Chop) related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and apoptosis. Moreover, maternal exposure to selenite resulted in the apoptosis of offspring and upregulated the content of ROS and the transcription level of genes related to ERS and apoptosis.

[PMID: 35561769 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.134838] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Excessive selenium (Se), especially selenite form exerts great toxicity to fish. Most studies have attached considerable attention to the adverse effects of Se on parental fish. However, the transgenerational toxicity of Se on fish has been rarely reported. In the present study, zebrafish embryos were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of Na₂SeO₃ (0, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/L) for 120 days. And the exposed zebrafish (F0) were allowed to spawn with normal zebrafish after sexual maturity. Subsequently, the offspring (F1) were cultured in clean water for 5 days. In the F0 generation, exposure to 100 μg/L Na₂SeO₃ significantly increased the Se content in the tissues (liver, brain and gonad) and decreased the body length and weight. After parental exposure to 100 μg/L Na₂SeO₃, the increased mortality, elevated malformation rate and reduced body length were measured in F1 zebrafish. The Se content was only significantly increased in F1 larvae derived from exposed females in the 100 μg/L exposure group. The contents of thyroid hormones (THs), growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) significantly decreased in F0 and F1 zebrafish. The transcriptional levels of genes along the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis and growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor (GH/IGF) axis were detected to further explore the possible mechanisms of Se-induced thyroid and growth hormone disruption. The results suggest that the toxicity of Se in zebrafish can be markedly transmitted to offspring. And the transgenerational development toxicity might be different due to the differences in gender of exposed parents.

Reactive, Sparingly Soluble Calcined Magnesia, Tailor-Made as the Reactive Material for Heavy Metal Removal from Contaminated Groundwater Using Permeable Reactive Barrier. MINERALS 2021.

Abstract
A laboratory method was designed and verified that allows for the testing of alkaline, magnesite-based reactive materials for permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) to remove heavy metals from contaminated groundwater. It was found that caustic calcined magnesia (CCM) with high reactivity and low solubility to remove Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, and Mn2+ cations from mixed aqueous solutions can be prepared by calcination at a suitable temperature and residence time. Regarding the solubility of both the reactive material itself and the precipitates formed, the CCM should contain just a limited content of lime. One way is the calcination of a ferroan magnesite at temperatures above 1000 °C. However, the decrease in pH is accompanied by lower efficiency, attributed to the solid-phase reactions of free lime. A different way is the calcination of magnesite under the conditions when CaCO3 is not thermally decomposed. The virtually complete removal of the heavy metals from the model solution was achieved using the CCM characterised by the fraction of carbonates decomposed of approximately 80% and with the highest specific surface area. CCM calcined at higher temperatures could also be used, but this would be associated with higher consumption of crude magnesite. Under the conditions considered in the present work, the product obtained by the calcination at 750 °C for 3 h appeared to be optimal. The full heavy metal removal was observed in this case using less magnesite, and, moreover, at a lower temperature (resulting, therefore, in a lower consumption of energy for the calcination and material handling).

Abstract
Thousands of chemicals are potentially contaminating the environment and food resources, covering a wide spectrum of molecular structures, physico-chemical properties, sources, environmental behavior and toxic profiles. Beyond the description of the individual chemicals, characterizing contaminant mixtures in related matrices has become a major challenge in ecological and human health risk assessments. Continuous analytical developments, in the fields of targeted (TA) and non-targeted analysis (NTA), have resulted in ever larger sets of data on associated chemical profiles. More than ever, the implementation of advanced data analysis strategies is essential to elucidate profiles and extract new knowledge from these large data sets. Specifically focusing on the data analysis step, this review summarizes the recent progress in integrating data analysis tools into TA and NTA workflows to address the challenging characterization of chemical mixtures in environmental and food matrices. As fish matrices are relevant in both aquatic pollution and consumer exposure perspectives, fish was chosen as the main theme to illustrate this review, although the present document is equally relevant to other food and environmental matrices. The key features of TA and NTA data sets were reviewed to illustrate the challenges associated with their analysis. Advanced filtering strategies to mine NTA data sets are presented, with a particular focus on chemical filters and discriminant analysis. Further, the applications of supervised and unsupervised multivariate analysis methods to characterize exposure to chemical mixtures, and their associated challenges, is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This scoping review aims to describe the body of nutrition intervention and dietary assessment research undertaken with Khmer populations in Cambodia, as well as summarise the nutrition knowledge base and highlight priority areas for future research. METHODS Five databases and the grey literature were searched, following PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Studies involving dietary assessment or nutrition interventions published after 1992 were identified using specific search terms and extracted to a customised data extraction table for categorisation and analysis. Study participants were Khmer people of any age and gender, living in rural or urban Cambodia. RESULTS Of the 100 included studies, 58 were dietary assessment only studies, 24 were nutrition interventions only, and 18 studies involved both assessment of intake and an intervention. Sixty-eight percent of study populations were mothers and young children, of which 52 studies focused on children aged under 5 years. Nineteen interventions involved supplementation and six trialled fortification of rice or fish sauce. Anaemia was the most common nutrition condition studied (n = 17), followed by malnutrition (n = 15) and malnutrition risk factors (n = 11). General nutrition status was explored in 25 studies, and individual micronutrients that were studied included iron (n = 27), zinc (n = 6), vitamin A (n = 4) and thiamine (n = 3). CONCLUSIONS Diet-related research in Khmer populations in Cambodia has predominantly focused on dietary assessment or evaluation of interventions aimed at reducing malnutrition and resolving micronutrient deficiencies. Areas identified as emerging needs included non-communicable diseases, the ageing population and non-iron deficiency anaemia.

Abstract
Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder and different environmental toxicants including heavy metals have been involved in diabetes induction. Therefore, assessment of the environmental risk factors and heavy metals induced toxicity have become critical for reducing the consequences of metals pollutants. Previously, we reported heavy metals induced nephrotoxicity in non-diabetic and diabetic rats. Here, we extended our analysis by examining the heavy metals induced organs (heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, and spleen) damage in diabetic and non-diabetic Wistar rats using histopathology and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Following the generation of the diabetic rat model, the animals were exposed to heavy metals including lead (Pb), arsenic (As), manganese (Mn) and cadmium (Cd). Both non-diabetic and diabetic rats were exposed to heavy metals for 30 days and subsequently, the heart, kidney, liver, pancreas and spleen tissues were examined. Heavy metal treatment resulted in irregularly arranged myofibrils and vacuolization in the heart tissue of metal treated groups as evident from hematoxylin and eosin (H & E) staining. The kidney tissue of rats treated with heavy metals showed tubular degeneration, fibrosis, hemorrhage, and vacuolation. The liver of the heavy metals treated rats exhibited cellular degeneration and necrosis. The pancreatic tissue of streptozotocin injected untreated and metal treated rats revealed severe degeneration, necrosis, degranulation, shrinkage, and depression in the islets of Langerhans. Increased red pulp area and congestion were observed in the spleen of the metal mixture treated non-diabetic and diabetic rats. In line with the histological data, the qRT-PCR analysis showed downregulated expression of Bcl2 and upregulation of Caspase-3 in non-diabetic and diabetic metal treated rats as compared to the non-diabetic untreated rats. In conclusion, the present study revealed, diabetic rats are more prone to metal alone as well as metal mixture induced organ damage as compared to non-diabetic rats.

Abstract
The present research was to study the toxicology of artificially added Zn, Se and Sr in water. Specifically, we investigated the mortality and liver toxicity in zebrafish (Danio rerio), caused by different water concentrations of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), sodium selenite (Na2SeO3), and strontium chloride hexahydrate (6H2O·SrCl2). Adult and embryo-larval zebrafish were used in the experiment. Analysis was performed of mortality, liver area and impermeability, delayed absorption area of the yolk sac, and liver tissue structure. The concentration change of sodium selenite exerted the most significant effect on the mortality of adult zebrafish, followed by that of strontium chloride hexahydrate, and zinc sulfate. Elevated strontium chloride hexahydrate concentration was associated with liver toxicity in zebrafish in the preliminary experiment. However, embryo-larval zebrafish were observed to die when the concentration of Zn2+ or Se4+ increased to a certain extent, without obvious liver toxicity. Our results indicated strontium chloride hexahydrate was hepatotoxic to embryo-larval zebrafish, which was manifested mainly as hepatomegaly and delayed absorption of the yolk sac. In addition, the artificially added strontium chloride hexahydrate destroyed liver tissue structure, resulting in hepatocyte enlargement, cell nucleus enlargement, blurred cytoplasmic boundaries, and formation of a vacuolar liver. These findings suggest the amount of strontium chloride hexahydrate added in soft drinks should be limited to certain levels.
