Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Marine shellfish are one of the healthiest foods that can be consumed due to its nutritional profile. They are rich in quality proteins, abundant in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, great sources of minerals and vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B12, A, D). However, they are also foods that can easily deteriorate and that may contain toxins that could cause health problems for consumers.
For this reason, we propose in this special issue to study the presence of toxic substances and toxins in marine shellfish, as well as new detection techniques for these substances and the evaluation of the associated risk for consumers due to the consumption of these species.
