Description Heavy metals fHg, Cu, Zn. Cd. Fa, Mn. Pb and Sn) were determined in several brands of three
commercially processed canned and frozen molluscan products - mussels, clams and oysters Concentrations
of Hg, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Sn were well below the recommended maximum concentrations in
clams and mussel products. However, copper and zinc were higher in oyster products: Overall mean
concentrations being 56.88 and 178.6 ppm respectively. Products in Aluminium cans were better in
quality compared to the products in traditional tin cans. Impact Of heavy metals on the safety and
evaluation of colour and flavour for product for acceptability are discussed Depuration studies have
been suggested to remove heavy metals from molluscs.
