| Abstract: | The potential of high pressure processing to inactivate hepatitis A virus (HAV) within Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) was evaluated. HAV was bioaccumulated within mussels to approximately 6-log10 PFU by exposure of mussels to HAV-contaminated seawater. After shucking, 5 min pressure treatments of 300, 325, 350, 375, and 400 MegaPascals (MPa) were performed at room temperature (18–22°C). For blue mussels, log10 PFU reductions of HAV averaged 2.1 and 3.6 for treatments of 350 and 400 MPa, while for Mediterranean mussels reductions of 1.7 and 2.9 log10 PFU MPa were observed for equivalent treatments. These results demonstrate that high pressure processing is capable of inactivating HAV within mussels. |
