Abstract
This study provides occurrence data for acrylamide in various foodstuffs, including those covered by Recommendation (EU) 2019/1888, from 210 samples purchased on the Belgian market. Detection frequencies exceeded 84% in potato-based products other than fries, vegetable crisps, black olives, cocoa powders, coffee substitutes and cereals and snacks. Large variations in acrylamide levels were found in cereals and snacks, with no correlation between cereal type or processing. Snacks containing chia did not show higher acrylamide levels than other cereal-based snacks. Maximum levels found were 4389 and 3063 µg kg-1 in coffee substitutes and vegetable crisps, respectively. Potato-based products contained 2 to 27 times less acrylamide when prepared in oven, compared to deep fryer processing. Artificially oxidised "Californian-style" black olives contained five times more acrylamide than "Greek-style" olives. In bread, pastries, nuts, oilseeds, dried fruits and confectionaries, detection frequencies varied from 27 to 69% and the average acrylamide content was <30 µg kg-1.
期刊介绍:
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B publishes surveillance data indicating the presence and levels of occurrence of designated food additives, residues and contaminants in foods, food supplements and animal feed. Data using validated methods must meet stipulated quality standards to be acceptable and must be presented in a prescribed format for subsequent data-handling.
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part B restricts its scope to include certain classes of food additives, residues and contaminants. This is based on a goal of covering those areas where there is a need to record surveillance data for the purposes of exposure and risk assessment.
The scope is initially restricted to:
Additives - food colours, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives;
Residues – veterinary drug and pesticide residues;
Contaminants – metals, mycotoxins, phycotoxins, plant toxins, nitrate/nitrite, PCDDs/PCFDs, PCBs, PAHs, acrylamide, 3-MPCD and contaminants derived from food packaging.
Readership: The readership includes scientists involved in all aspects of food safety and quality and particularly those involved in monitoring human exposure to chemicals from the diet.
Papers reporting surveillance data in areas other than the above should be submitted to Part A . The scope of Part B will be expanded from time-to-time to ensure inclusion of new areas of concern.
