Marine Macroalgae as a Safe Healthy Food While Meeting Food Security Challenges Arising From Climate Changes

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 783-804, October 2026.
Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Guidance on default values and uncertainty factors to be used by the EFSA Scientific Committee, Scientific Panels and Units in the absence of actual measured data

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has updated its 2012 guidance on selected default values (DVs) to be used by the EFSA Scientific Committee (SC), Scientific Panels and Units in the absence of actual measured data. DVs are meant to be typical values, being not necessarily conservative, while uncertainty factors (UFs) tend to be ...

Human Poisoning from Marine Toxins: Unknowns for Optimal Consumer Protection

Toxins, 2018
Marine biotoxins are produced by aquatic microorganisms and accumulate in shellfish or finfish following the food web. These toxins usually reach human consumers by ingestion of contaminated seafood, although other exposure routes like inhalation or ...

Seasonal and Spatial Variations in Bacterial Communities From Tetrodotoxin-Bearing and Non-tetrodotoxin-Bearing Clams

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the most potent naturally occurring compounds and is responsible for many human intoxications worldwide. Paphies australis are endemic clams to New Zealand which contain varying concentrations of TTX. Research suggests that P.

Distribution of Tetrodotoxin in the New Zealand Clam, Paphies australis, Established Using Immunohistochemistry and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry

Toxins, 2018
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. It was originally thought to only occur in puffer fish but has now been identified in twelve different classes of freshwater and marine organisms, including bivalves.

Morphological and Size‐Dependent Enrichment of Endotoxins in Coastal Spray Aerosols: Implications for Regional Respiratory Health Risks

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Sea spray aerosols (SSA) transport bioactive substances that affect the Earth's environmental and climate system. We investigated the enrichment of endotoxins (LPS), characterized their influence on the SSA morphologies, and evaluated the respiratory tract deposition.
