  • Review Paper Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors: a Review Concerning Dietary Tyramine and Drug Interactions
    PsychoTropical Commentaries (2016) 1:1 – 90 © Fernwell Publications Review Paper Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors: a Review Concerning Dietary Tyramine and Drug Interactions PK Gillman PsychoTropical Research, Bucasia, Queensland, Australia Abstract This comprehensive monograph surveys original data on the subject of both dietary tyramine and drug interactions relevant to Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs), about which there is much outdated, incorrect and incomplete information in the medical literature and elsewhere. Fewer foods than previously supposed have problematically high tyramine levels because international food hygiene regulations have improved both production and handling. Cheese is the only food that has, in the past, been associated with documented fatalities from hypertension, and now almost all ‘supermarket’ cheeses are perfectly safe in healthy-sized portions. The variability of sensitivity to tyramine between individuals, and the sometimes unpredictable amount of tyramine content in foods, means a little knowledge and care are still advised. The interactions between MAOIs and other drugs are now well understood, are quite straightforward, and are briefly summarized here (by a recognised expert). MAOIs have no apparently clinically relevant pharmaco-kinetic interactions, and the only significant pharmaco-dynamic interaction, other than the ‘cheese reaction’ (caused by indirect sympatho-mimetic activity [ISA], is serotonin toxicity ST (aka serotonin syndrome) which is now well defined and straightforward to avoid by not co-administering any drug with serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SRI) potency. There are no therapeutically used drugs, other than SRIs, that are capable of inducing serious ST with MAOIs. Anaesthesia is not contra- indicated if a patient is taking MAOIs. Most of the previously held concerns about MAOIs turn out to be mythical: they are either incorrect, or over-rated in importance, or stem from apprehensions born out of insufficient knowledge.

  • Issues Facing the Traditional Fish Products Industry in Southeast Asia
    9th JIRCAS International Symposium 2002 - 'Value-Addition to Agricultural Products', I I 5-12/ Issues facing the traditional fish products industry in Southeast Asia Yeap Soon-Eong* and Tan Sen-Min Marine Fisheries Research Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre, 2 Perahu Road, Singapore 718915 Abstract In Southeast Asia, traditional fish products represent a significantly large part of total fish utilization and are a major source of animal protein. As a result, these products are vitally important to food security, especially con­ sidering that most of them go to marginalized sectors of the population. Traditional fish products are generally of low value and intended mainly for the domestic market, although some specialty products are of high value and other products, such as fish sauce, are also now being exported. Issues facing the industry are: obtaining a reliable supply of raw materials-particularly good-quality raw materials; a lack of infrastructure; poor processing tech­ niques; a poor knowledge base; inadequate marketing; and a lack of food safety standards. To address these issues and improve traditional fish products, it is essential that the Southeast Asian countries promote and pre­ serve the production and use of these products, strengthen research and training activities, improve their market­ ing, and ensure that they meet food safety standards. However, in an effort to improve these products, their unique nature and their cultural and social importance should not be compromised. Introduction to the Marine Fisheries These are achieved through MFRD's three core activi­ ties, namely research and development, training and Research Department extension, and information services.

  • Traditionally Preserved Fish Products Are Largely Confined to East And
    Traditionally preserved fish products are largely confined to east and south-east Asia which are still produced principally on a cottage i,ndustry or domestic scale (Adams, 1998). As commonly applied, the term 'fermented fish' covers two categories of product (Adams et a/., 1985): (i) fish-salt formulations, e.g. fish sauce products such as the fish ' . pastes and sauces tend to contain relatively high levels of salt, typically in the range 15-25% and are used mainly as a condiment; and (ii) fish­ salt-carbohydrate mixtures, e.g. pla-ra in Thailand and burong-isda in the Philippines. In hot countries, particulady in rural areas, fermented fish products continue to play a vital role in adding protein, flavour and varietY to rice-based diets (Campbell-Platt, 1987). Table (A) summarises some of the corrimon traditionally processed fish ,~Jroducts of Asia. Among the fermented fish products, the more widely used are fish sauces and pastes (van Veen, 1965; Orejana, 1983). In the fish-salt­ carbohydrate product, lactic fermentation occurs and contributes to the ex.tended shelf life (Adams et a/., 1985; Owens and Mendoza, 1985). Lactic acid fermented products can be prepared in a shorter time than the fish-salt products, which depend primarily on autolytic processes I , and offer greater scope for low-cost fish preservation in South East Asia than the simply, low water activity products (Adams et a/., 1985). The pri~cipal carbohydrate source used in these traditional lactic fermented products is cooked rice, although in some products partially s~ccharified rice (mouldy rice: ang-kak, or pre-fermented rice) is used or, on occasion, sniall amounts of cassava flour, or cooked millet, e.g; sikhae in Korea (Lee, 1984).

First English edition: 1994 Second edition: 2002 Third revised edition: 2004 Authors: Brigitte Maas-van Berkel, Brigiet van den Boogaard, Corlien Heijnen Editor: Marja de Goffau-Markusse Translation: Joost Guijt, Catharina de Kat-Reynen (editing) Printed by: Digigrafi, Wageningen, the Netherlands ISBN: 90-72746-01-9 NUGI: 835 Foreword This Agrodok is intended as a practical manual that reviews the simple techniques used to preserve fish and meat. The booklet gives guide- lines for several preservation techniques. The methods described and the results achieved can, of course, differ locally. The general introduction deals with the principles of preventing spoil- age. Next, the various methods of preserving foods are explained and the main aspects of spoilage relevant to each method are covered. Special attention is given to the question of which method to choose given the local conditions. The following topics are discussed: salting, drying and smoking of fish and meat; fermentation of fish; canning of fish and meat; and cooling and freezing fish and meat. The authors have endeavoured to describe each method as practically as possible, including descriptions of the required materials and tech- niques. In this revised edition some descriptions of techniques were modified, illustrations were added and lists of sources for further information were updated. I would like to thank Jacques Houben and Ife Fitz James for their valuable observations after critically reading this docu- ment and Barbera Oranje for making some new illustrations.

  • Applications of Fish and Shellfish Enzymes in Food and Feed Products
    21 Applications of Fish and Shellfish Enzymes in Food and Feed Products Manuel Díaz-López University of Almería, Almería, Spain Fernando Luis García-Carreño CIBNOR, La Paz, BCS, Mexico I. INTRODUCTION Because enzymes are molecules with biotransformation capabilities, they are important tools of biotechnology. Either working alone or as part of a cell, “Use of enzymes to accomplish specific desirable changes in foods has been practiced for centuries. The techniques have been handed down from generation to genera- tion without any knowledge, until recently” (1). The importance of enzymes as tools in biotechnology and food or feed processing is increasing (2, 3). The de- mand for enzymes with specific properties is high, and various enzyme sources are being investigated. Enzymes are important components of food and feed for many reasons: growth, maturation, production, processing, storage, and spoilage; consumer preferences and selection; safety and control of predators; food intake, digestion, and assimilation and disease; and as analytical tools (4). The marine environment contains the largest pool of diversified genetic material and, hence, represents an enormous potential source of enzymes. The application of seafood enzymes to food and feed products has been developed during the last 30 years. Early work revealed the presence in the marine environment of several enzymes with unique properties (5, 6). This chapter will review some of the uses of such enzymes. 571 572 Diaz-López and García-Carreño II. CHOICE OF ENZYME Food and feed processing involves many different operational variables, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, density, pH, viscosity, chemical composition, enzyme inhibitors, activators, or inactivators.
