    I have just received a query regarding the sodium content of tuna.

    According to McCance and Widdowson tuna has the following sodium content:

    Raw tuna 40-50 milligrams/100g

    Cooked tuna in oil 290 milligrams/100g

    Cooked tuna in brine 320 milligrams/100g

    My contact wants to know why the sodium content increases so much through
    cooking.

    Thanks in anticipation
