Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seafood is an important source of protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and essential nutrients, playing a crucial role in global food security and nutrition. In the context of climate change, growing aquaculture production, declining wild fish stocks, and emerging contaminants, ensuring the safety and sustainability of seafood products is becoming increasingly complex. Furthermore, the integral use of seafood byproducts for extracting valuable nutrients and bioactive compounds is still not a widespread practice.
This Special Issue aims to explore these multifaceted challenges, presenting research on seafood products' nutritional and bioactive properties, safety, and sustainability, with a focus on bridging the knowledge gaps across these interconnected topics. Submissions may take the form of original research, reviews, short notes, and perspectives on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Nutritional composition and bioactive compounds in seafood and their contribution to human health.
- Innovative processing and preservation technologies to enhance seafood safety and quality.
- Seafood byproducts processing for bioactive compounds and nutrients for human food.
- Geographical challenges of seafood safety: examining region-specific issues on the contamination and quality of seafood.
- Challenges related to biotoxins and emerging contaminants in seafood.
- Insights into sustainability and the circular economy in seafood production and processing.
