“…Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), and mercury (Hg) are examples of toxic metals that pose serious health risks. Exposure of humans to these metals can result in a variety of acute and chronic harmful outcomes, including carcinogenic and neurotoxic consequences, as well as kidney and reproductive dysfunction ( Bayomi et al, 2019 ; El-Sherbiny and Sallam, 2021 ). Since contaminated soil and water are the main routes by which heavy metals enter the food chain, the volume of food ingested and the amount of the metal in the diet determine the hazardous threat to consumers.…”

“…It is also regarded as an excellent source of readily digested protein, high in fats, macro- and trace elements, essential amino acids, and fat-soluble vitamins. Furthermore, fish contains a lot of valuable long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids (FAs), diminishing illness risks and improving human health ( El-Sherbiny and Sallam, 2021 ). Fish is one of the best sources of protein and the consumption of fish provides polyunsaturated FAs (PUFA), liposoluble vitamins, and essential minerals for human health.…”

Background: Fish is considered an important food because it includes main nutrients (proteins, fats, and ash) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The assessment of fish nutritional content data may offer crucial recommendations regarding freshwater fish consumption and preserving human well-being. Aim: Evaluate the safety and quality properties of Nasser Lake fish, Aswan, Egypt. Methods: A total of 250 samples, 50 of each Nile tilapia, Nile perch, Zander, Catfish, and Elephant-snout, from Nasser Lake, Aswan, Egypt; beheaded, eviscerated, filleted, and minced for determination of proximate analysis, amino acid, fatty acids, minerals and heavy metal, histamine content, cholesterol content, and sensory assessment. Results: The proximate analysis showed that all the samples examined were of good protein sources, with mean values ranging from 15.92% to 22.89%. Nile perch exhibits the highest levels of total fatty acids and amino acids. Heavy metal concentrations varied considerably among the analyzed samples, with a significant variance in the detection of metals among the examined fish. The findings show low histamine and cholesterol levels in the examined species, and were in accordance with those set by the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) and the European Union Commission (EC). Accordingly, all samples are accepted based on their sensory properties. Conclusion: Nasser Lake fish are of high nutritional value and have an excellent supply of amino and fatty acids.

“…Regarding the total acidity, none of the tested samples exceeded the limit of 40 meq/kg established (Anonymous 1992;Codex Alimentarius Commission 2001;EU 2002), where the values for the samples ranged from 0.72-3.80 meq/kg (Table 2). The variation in the total acidity among honeys imported from different countries may be attributed to either variation in the contents of organic and inorganic acids, the harvest season and/or floral types (El-Sherbiny and Risk 1979;Pérez-Arquillué et al 1994). The pH of the honey is not directly related to free acidity because of the buffering action of the various acids and minerals present in honey (Abou-Tarboush et al 1993).…”

The physicochemical and antimicrobial properties, as well as metals and pesticide residue contents in honeys imported from different countries and marketing in KSA were investigated. The results indicated that the chemical composition of some of these honeys violated the most national and international guidelines. Also, honey samples showed greater antimicrobial activities against all the osmophilic microorganisms especially Aspergillus flavus. Pb and Cd were not detected in all the tested samples, while Cu levels were below the guideline value of 5 mg/kg. However, Zn, Fe, and Ni levels in most the tested samples did not comply with the legislation values of 5, 15, and 0.01-1.00 mg/kg, respectively, and may pose a health risk to consumers. Also, Mn was found in higher levels which can be attributed either to the production stages of honey or the region from where the honey has been taken. Regarding the pesticide residues, some residues were detected in honeys imported from Germany, Australia, and Turkey; however, the hazardous indices for all the detected residues were less than one, indicating that these residues could not pose a health risk. It can be concluded that natural honeys should be free of any objectionable metals and pesticides.
