The largest decrease in Cd content in samples canned after the shucking treatment was OH at 90 ± 1 °C (1.47 ± 0.10 μg g−1 dw), which exhibited a significant difference with other treatments. The OH and BLAN processes that are followed by canning destroy cytoplasmic membrane selectivity and tissue structures, which would promote the passage of components within the cell towards the
external environment through osmosis (Chou et al., 2010; McCutcheon & Elimelech, 2008)
