Data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "Near Infra-red spectroscopy quantitative modelling of bivalve protein, lipid and glycogen composition using single-species versus multi-species calibration and validation sets" [1]. Band width selections were determined using a data-driven approach to modelling Near Infra-red Spectra (NIRS) of protein, lipid and glycogen content in bivalves. Models were produced for single species and combined species of and .

Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) quantitative modelling was used to measure the protein, lipid and glycogen composition of five marine bivalve species (Saccostrea glomerata, Ostrea angasi, Crassostrea gigas, Mytilus galloprovincialis and Anadara trapezia) from multiple locations and seasons. Predictive models were produced for each component using individual species and aggregated sample populations for the three oyster species (S. glomerata, O.

Article Synopsis
  • Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), which pose a public health risk from bivalve molluscs, must be kept below a regulatory limit of 0.8 mg saxitoxin per kilogram of shellfish meat to ensure safety for consumers.* -
  • An interlaboratory study with 16 labs tested the Neogen immunological screening test for detecting PSTs in mussels and oysters, showing high detection probability rates close to the regulatory threshold.* -
  • The Neogen test is acceptable for regulatory use in oysters but shows inconsistent results for mussels, particularly due to variability in detection reliability at the required levels.*
