Mussels have a particular nutritional value, representing a highly valued food source and thus sought after worldwide. Their meat is a real culinary delicacy, rich in proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, trace elements, enzymes, and vitamins. The seasonal variation of mussels' biochemical composition has been studied to determine the best harvesting period to capitalize on various biologically active fractions. In this work biochemical determinations have been performed on fresh flesh samples of specimens from the Black Sea coast to study seasonal variations in mussels' biochemical compounds. An analysis of significant lipid classes and the fatty acid composition of lipid extracts obtained from mussel flesh has also been performed. Since mussels retain pollutants from the marine environment, in parallel, the concentration of heavy metals in the meat of mussels collected for the analysis of the chemical composition was investigated. The impact and risk of heavy metal poisoning due to food consumption of mussels contaminated due to pollution of the marine harvesting area was evaluated by the bio-concentration factor of metals and estimated daily intakes of heavy metals through mussel consumption.
贻贝具有特殊的营养价值，是一种非常有价值的食物来源，因此在全球范围内受到追捧。它们的肉是一种真正的美食，富含蛋白质、脂肪、碳水化合物、微量元素、酶和维生素。为了充分利用各种具有生物活性的成分，已经研究了贻贝生化成分的季节性变化，以确定最佳的收获期。在这项工作中，对黑海沿岸采集的贻贝新鲜肉体样本进行了生化测定，以研究贻贝生化化合物的季节性变化。还对从贻贝肉中提取的脂质提取物中的重要脂质类和脂肪酸组成进行了分析。由于贻贝从海洋环境中保留污染物，因此还研究了为分析化学成分而收集的贻贝肉中的重金属浓度。通过金属的生物浓缩因子和通过贻贝消费估计的重金属每日摄入量，评估了由于食用因海洋捕捞区污染而受到污染的贻贝导致重金属中毒的影响和风险。
