“…The mussels from the other three stations show a different distribution of FA groups: PUFA > SFA > MUFA with a remarkable predominance of polyunsaturated fatty acids, similar to the patterns reported for TL of farmed and wild M. galloprovincialis from the Black Sea [55,60].…”

The unique, closed ecosystem of the Black Sea is of significant global importance. The levels and health risk of some trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) in wild and farmed mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from the Bulgarian part of the Black Sea were determined and using different approaches such as Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Target Hazard Quotient (THQ), Hazard Index (HI), Target risk (TR), human health risk levels were assessed. The mean maximum concentrations of the elements Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in all mussel samples were below the maximum permissible limits (MPLs) except that which exceeded the limit of 2.00 mg/kg ww. Eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) were the major polyunsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acids profile studied mussels showed that the farmed mussels had higher PUFA/SFA ratios, DHA and EPA+DHA content and lower SFA, AI and TI values. The target risk (TR) values for Pb, Cr, Ni and As were calculated, evaluated and showed acceptable or negligible levels. Target hazard quotients (THQs) and hazard index (HI) from elemental intake were below 1 indicated no hazard from consumption. The benefit–risk ratio indicated that wild and cultured M. galloprovincialis are safe for human consumption.

“…The Mediterranean mussel ( M. galloprovincialis ) is one of the most studied species. Compared to our results, Prato et al [ 27 ] reported two times lower EPA + DHA contents (320.79 mg.100 g −1 ww) for Ionian Sea mussels and Panayotova et al [ 25 ], and lower average amounts (410 mg.100 g −1 ww) for the same Black Sea species. In our earlier study, data on raw and cooked R. venosa were presented [ 22 ].…”

“…Both n-3 PUFAs are specific markers for zooplankton and dinoflagellates (DHA) and diatoms (EPA), which synthesize them in high quantities. EPA and DHA proportions varied significantly among species, but the observed results are comparable with literature data for M. galloprovincialis from the Black Sea [25], C. crangon [58], R. venosa [55], C. gallina [54], and for D. trunculus [60]. In contrast, Prato et al [16] and Biandolino et al [51] reported lower values for DHA (10.6% of total FAs) and higher for EPA (12% of total FAs) for M. galloprovincialis.…”

“…The sum of the four fatty acids accounts for 85–90% of total PUFAs. Bivalves have low capacity to synthesize highly unsaturated PUFAs; consequently, their FA profiles are strongly influenced by the food availability and its abundance in the region [ 25 ]. Both n-3 PUFAs are specific markers for zooplankton and dinoflagellates (DHA) and diatoms (EPA), which synthesize them in high quantities.…”

“…However, in Bulgaria there is limited information regarding the n-3 LCPUFA contents in seafood products, traditionally preferred and consumed by the local population. Earlier studies reported data on the lipid and fatty acid composition of some Black Sea fish and shellfish species and showed that total lipid content and FA profiles, including PUFA levels, are species-specific [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Having in mind these facts, the aims of this study were to determine lipid content, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and the recommended daily serving of eleven fish species, three bivalve species, one gastropod, and one crustacean species harvested from the Western part of the Black Sea, Bulgaria, and regularly available on the Bulgarian fish markets.…”

Fatty acids (FA) are among the most important natural biologically active compounds. A healthy diet involves the intake of different fatty acids especially from omega-3 (n-3) series. Seafood provides a very good source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), but in Bulgaria there is limited information regarding the n-3 PUFA contents in traditionally consumed seafood by the population. The aims of this study were to determine lipid content, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (EPA and DHA), and the recommended daily intake of eleven fish species, three bivalves, rapana, and shrimp harvested in the Western part of Black Sea, Bulgaria. Total lipids were extracted according to the method of Blight and Dyer and fatty acid composition was analyzed by GC/MS. Fatty acid profile showed differences among species. PUFA were found in high content among total lipids, especially in shellfish (60.67–68.9% of total lipids) compared to fish species (19.27–34.86% of total lipids). EPA was found in higher amounts in rapana (0.16 g/100 g ww) and two of pelagic species (up to 0.29 g/100 g ww), whereas DHA prevailed in demersal and the most of pelagic fish (0.16–1.92 g/100 g ww) and bivalves (0.16–1.92 g/100 g ww). The health beneficial n3/n6 and PUFA/SFA ratios were found in all analyzed species. The lower values of the lipid nutritional quality indices (AI < 1, TI < 1) and higher for h/H index (0.8–1.78 for fish and 1.52 to 4.67 for bivalves and shrimp) confirm that the commonly consumed Black Sea fish and shellfish may provide health benefits for local populations. This study shows the seafood amounts that can provide the minimum recommended intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Steaming process is the most popular method for cooking mussels worldwide. The effect of this cooking process on some toxic (Cd, Ni, Pb), essential (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn) elements, minerals (Na, K, Ca, Mg), total lipids, and fatty acid profiles in the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) harvested from the Black Sea was studied. Different approaches to assess the benefits and risks (n‐6/n‐3, PUFA/SFA, AI, TI, h/H, EDI, THQ, HI, TR, and HQEFA) were employed. In general, steaming process significantly modified some essential elements and minerals concentrations as well as the fatty acid profiles. Compared to the raw samples, this culinary practice resulted in an increased concentration of Na, Mg, Zn, and saturated fatty acids and a decrease of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Significant changes in the lipid quality indices (PUFA/SFA, AI, TI, and h/H) from the raw samples were observed. No effect on the DHA content was found. However, the significant increase in the absolute content of EPA + DHA indicates that steaming does not compromise the nutritional quality of mussels. Target hazard quotients (THQs) and hazard index (HI) from elemental intake were below 1, indicating that the steamed M. galloprovincialis pose no hazard for the consumers. The target risk (TR) values for Pb, Cr, and Ni were calculated, evaluated, and showed acceptable or negligible levels. In addition, the benefit–risk ratio indicated that the steamed M. galloprovincialis are safe for human consumption.
