Microbiological Survey on Jellyfish Food Products: Preliminary Results

Abstract: SUMMARYA microbiological survey was performed on ten brined jellyfish products, sampled in Italy from Chinese food markets. In general, the microbiological conditions were good and respected the standards contemplated in the regulations CE 2073/2005 e 1441/2007. The presence of inhibiting substances and the absence of aerobic mesophilic bacteria in two samples suggest a treatment to preserve the product.

“…After arriving at a processing facility, the umbrella and the oral arms are processed separately [ 6 ]; the former is the most requested part and, therefore, also the most expensive, but requests for oral arms have increased in recent years [ 7 ]. After rinsing them and removing mucus, the gastrovascular cavity, and developed gonads, jellyfish are left in contact with mixtures of different concentrations of alum and salt for about 20–40 days [ 8 ]. This long and inexpensive treatment allows for dehydrating and disinfecting the jellyfish, thus obtaining a finished product with a long shelf life (about 1 year at room temperature), characterized by a particular texture loved by Asian populations, which does not need to be cooked to be consumed [ 9 ].…”
