Show summary
The health benefits of seafood consumption have primarily been associated with protective effects against
cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, intake of seafood has also been associated with improved foetal and
infant development, as well as several other diseases and medical conditions. The health promoting effects
have chiefly been attributed to the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA), eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In addition, the general fatty acid profile is considered
favourable. On the other hand, recent and emerging research on seafood proteins and other seafood derived
components suggest that these nutritional components contribute to the health effects. In this paper we
review the nutritional characteristics and health benefits of marine foods and ingredients, and discuss some
current and future trends in marine food production.

Show summary
Processing of fish is generally conducted postrigor, but prerigor processing is associated with some potential advantages. The aim of this study was to study how 5 processing regimes of cold-smoked cod and salmon conducted at different stages of rigor influenced yield, fillet shrinkage, and gaping. Farmed cod and salmon was filleted, salted by brine injection of 25% NaCl, and smoked for 2 h at different stages of rigor. Filleting and salting prerigor resulted in increased fillet shrinkage and less increase inweight during brine injection,which in turn was correlated to the salt content of the fillet. These effects were more pronounced in cod fillets when compared to salmon. Early processing reduced fillet gaping and fillets were evaluated as having a firmer texture. In a follow-up trial with cod, shrinkage and weight gain during injection was studied as an effect of processing time postmortem. No changes in weight gain were observed for fillets salted the first 24 h postmortem; however, by delaying the processing 12 h postmortem, the high and rapid shrinking of cod fillets during brine injection was halved.

Show summary
The report summarizes how processing of seafood influences the nutritional content of seafood and how various processing conditions may affect the bioavailability of individual nutrients. In addition, a short description of the latest scientific documentation on the health benefits of seafood consumption is included, as well as the nutritional traits that makes seafood a special food.
Increased degree of seafood processing generally tends to reduce the content of some nutrients, especially low molecular water soluble components which are susceptible to leaching. Application of heat may thermally degrade components and pH extremes may also destroy several components. However, processing may increase the bioavailability of macronutrients, and thus processing has an ambivalent effect by decreasing nutritional content and increasing bioavailability.
With the exception of very extensive processing, such as processing of “lutefisk” and surimi products which removes the majority of soluble substances, the nutritional decrease in the majority of processing conditions is probably not sufficient to make a significant impact on the health benefits of seafood consumption, and any effect would be challenging to test and find in a human study.

Prosjektet består av tre hovedaktiviteter. I delprosjekt (a) er det gjennomført to dyreforsøk for å evaluere om proteinkomponenter fra torsk har en forebyggende effekt mhp. type 2 diabetes (T2D). Resultatene viste at torskeproteinene ikke hadde en beskyttende effekt, et resultat som divergerte med tilsvarende studier utført av samarbeidspartnerne i Canada. Årsaken til dette skyldes trolig ulike fremstillingsprosedyrer av torskeproteinene og det antas at enkelte biologisk aktive komponenter har gått tapt under fremstillingen av foret til forsøkene som er utført i Tromsø. I delprosjekt (b) er det samlet inn epidemiologiske data fra to regioner i Russland, med formål å sammenligne fiskekonsum og forekomsten av T2D og hjerte- og karsykdommer i de ulike befolkningsgrupper. Første del av datasettet er analysert og resultatene viste at det var store forskjeller i sosioøkonomisk status og fiskekonsum i de to russiske regionene. I delprosjekt (c) er det gjennomført et dyreforsøk for å evaluere om industriell prosessering påvirker helsegevinsten av sjømatkonsum. Reker ble valgt som råstoff siden de gjerne gjennomgår en omfattende prosessering og mister mange biologisk aktive komponenter under produksjonsprosessen. Noe overraskende viste rå reker seg å gi forhøyet grad av åreforkalkning og redusert vekst sammenliknet med prosesserte reker og kontroll. Det er satt i gang undersøkelser for avklare om dette skyldes ulik grad av fordøyelighet mellom råstoffene.
