Abstract Green mussel is a type of shellfish that is widely consumed by humans. Excessive consumption of green mussels can be harmful to health because they are prone to contain heavy metals. One of the methods to reduce the heavy metal content of green mussels is to use citric acid in the pineapple solution. The Green mussel was soaked in pineapple solution for 30 min, 60 min and 90 min. The content of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and As was analyzed by ICP-MS. The results showed that after soaking green mussels in pineapple solution for 30 minutes, they reduced 85% Pb, 80,95% Cd, and 53,23% As. The duration of soaking green mussels in pineapple solution for 30 minutes overall had a better quality than soaking for 60 and 90 minutes, with a moisture content of 74,43 + 0,39 (%), protein content 15,21 + 0,35 (%), pH level 6,74 + 0,10, organoleptic with a confidence interval of 7,48<μ< 7,54.

Utilization of the waters of the northern coast of Jakarta which are contaminated with heavy metals as a conservation area through a non-consumed Asian green mussel (perna viridis) cultivation program as an aspired law. This research method is qualitative with socio-legal approach as a basis for the formation of non-consuming green seashell. The results showed that green mussels have the advantage of being a bio filter because they are able to filter water contaminated with heavy metals. Its ability shows that 1 kilogram of green mussels can filter water as much as 10 liters/hour. Testing results in the sea water in Kamal Muara and Cilincing in 2019 showed that the heavy metal content of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) did not meet the standards of the Minister of Environment Decree Number 179 of 2004. The test results at the ordinate point of the sampling location Kamal Muara S604’41, 16972”/E106044’24,00684” (Station I) showed an increase in Pb of 0.052 mg/l, making it very appropriate as the basis for non-consumed green seashell cultivation area as this species was able to be an environmentally friendly bio filter.

The electrokinetic remediation of an agricultural soil contaminated with heavy metals was studied using organic acids as facilitating agents. The unenhanced electrokinetic treatment using deionized water as processing fluid did not show any significant mobilization and removal of heavy metals due to the low solubilization of metals and precipitation at high pH conditions close to the cathode. EDTA and citric acid 0.1 M were used as facilitating agents to favor the dissolution and transportation of metals. The organic acids were added to the catholyte and penetrated into the soil specimen by electromigration. EDTA formed negatively charged complexes. Citric acid formed neutral metal complexes in the soil pH conditions (pH = 2–4). Citric acid was much more effective in the dissolution and transportation out of the soil specimen of complexed metals. In order to enhance the removal of metals, the concentration of citric acid was increased up to 0.5 M, resulting in the removal of 78.7% of Cd, 78.6% of Co, 72.5% of Cu, 73.3% of Zn, 11.8% of Cr and 9.8% of Pb.

Limited shelf life of green mussel restricts its accessibility to wider markets. The study assessed the potential of using organic acids (lactic and citric acids) in enhancing the quality and storage life of chilled mussel. Pretreatments included: 2% lactic acid (LA) and 2% citric acid (CA). Results from sensory analysis concluded that lactic acid (LA) pretreatment had 15 days of acceptability compared to the untreated sample. It had also lower the volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N), psychrophilic and lactic acid bacteria count of the sample during the storage. The weight loss of the citric acid pretreated sample was higher compared to the lactic acid pretreated mussel. Results from quality assessment indicated that pretreatment using lactic acid can be used to improve the storage life of chilled green mussel for 15 days compared 6 days of untreated samples.

Recent studies revealed that organic acids such as citric and oxalic acids seemed to be more promising as chemical extracting agents for removal of heavy metals from contaminated sludge, since they are biodegradable and can attain a higher metal extraction efficiency at mildly acidic pH compared to other extracting agents. Results of a lab-scale study on the efficiency of citric acid in the extraction of chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) from anaerobically digested sludge, revealed that citric acid seemed to be highly effective in extracting Cr (at 100%), Cu (at 88%), Ni (at 98%) and Zn (at 100%) at pH 2.33, mostly at 5 days leaching time except for Cu and Zn, which are at 1 day and 2 h contact times respectively. Lead removal at the same pH was also high at 95% but at a longer leaching time of 11 days. At pH 3, citric acid seemed to be highly effective in extracting Pb (at 100%) at 1 day leaching time, although higher removals were also attained for Ni (70%) and Zn (80%) at only 2 h leaching time. Chemical speciation studies showed that Cr, Cu and Ni in the sludge sample seem to predominate in residual fractions, while Pb and Zn were found mostly bound to organic and inorganic matter forms, hence the potential of the sludge for land application.

Seafood can be contaminated by heavy metals that contained in seawater and the source of food that marine biotas eats. Cadmium is one of the contaminants found in the marine environment. Bioaccumulation studies via foood pathway were complement previous studies through the seawater pathway. This study also made an effort to biologically decontaminate cadmium using acetic acid and citric acid. The experimental results showed the total bioaccumulation ability of Cd by Perna viridis was 74.01. Cd decontamination which accumulates in the Perna viridis decreases the level up to 21%

Asian green mussel is a marine animal that is used as food by most Indonesians. The mussels are widely cultivated in tropical countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and other Asian countries. The mussel, known as perna viridis, is marine biota that is a filter feeder in the waters. Therefore, the quality of its meat is greatly influenced by the quality of the sea in its habitat. It is a food that is quite popular with the community but can endanger public health due to the accumulation of heavy metals. This study used a literature review by collecting data related to heavy metal concentrations in green mussel tissue in Indonesia. The results showed that the mussels from several sampling locations still exceeded the maximum acceptable limits of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd) concentration according to the standards of the food and drug administration of the Republic of Indonesia. Consumption of green mussels can increase health risks if you frequently consume them from cultivating or catching locations that have been contaminated with heavy metals.

Abstract The goal of this study was to analyze the content of heavy metals in fish, shellfish, molluscs cephalopods on the Romanian market. We have analyzed heavy metals traces in sixteen marine organisms species. Analyses of heavy metal traces were done with mass spectrometer with inductively coupled plasma- ICP-MS, Agilent Technologies 7500 Series. Among the elements identified it was analyzed the content of Cd, Hg, Pb, metals with high toxicity to the human body, and the obtained values were interpreted in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 concerning the maximum allowable quantity per kg wet product and Provisional Tolerated Weekly Intake (PTWI) established by the Joint Committee experts WHO / FAO. The risk assessment performed indicated that marine organisms were safe for the consumer except the four species that cadmium content may be exceeded for a regular or excessive consumption.

This study assessed the potential of lactic acid, citric acid, and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) as pre-treatments to improve the quality and shelf life of vacuum-packed green mussel during chilled storage. Blanched mussel meat samples were dipped in 2% lactic acid (LA), 2% citric acid (CA), 10% sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), 10% STPP + 2% lactic acid (STPP-LA), 10% STPP + 2% citric acid (STPP-CA) solutions and chilled at 3˚C. Vacuum-packed green mussel pre-treated with lactic acid have higher sensory scores and remained acceptable at 24 days of storage. Psychrophilic and lactic acid bacteria counts were significantly lower (P<0.05) than other treatments and remained within the safe limit throughout the storage period. Total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N), trimethylamine nitrogen (TMA-N), pH and ammonia increased with storage in all samples but values for acid pre-treated samples remained within the safe limit. However, the weight of organic acid pre-treated samples significantly decreased (P<0.05) than the control (no pre-treatment). Results of the quality assessment indicated that lactic acid pre-treatment can significantly extend the shelf life of green mussel for 24 days at chilled storage compared to 6 days in the untreated sample.
