Abstract(s)

"International food monitoring agencies for sustainability have proposed that responsible consumption of seafood should not only respect the abundance and seasonality of species, but also focus on local products that are underutilized. In this sense, the culinary use of the edible C. tagi medusa, native of the Tagus and Sado estuaries, could be an effective and innovative contribution. After being checked for non-allergenicity in allergic patients, the assay described herein was conducted in order to initiate studies on the acceptability of snacks in which C. tagi is one of the major components."
