Abstract
This study aimed to examine the levels of sodium benzoate (SB), potassium sorbate (PS), and natamycin (NAT) in doogh samples collected during the winter and summer in Sulaymaniyah, Kurdistan region of Iraq, utilising high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Moreover, human health risks associated with these preservatives in doogh were assessed using Monte Carlo simulations. SB, PS, and NAT levels in the doogh ranged from <0.47 to 22.5 mg/L, <0.015 to 8.3 mg/L, and 1.4 to 11.5 mg/L, respectively. The levels of these preservatives in the doogh samples were within international standards. The estimated daily intake (EDI) values of SB, PS, and NAT in doogh were below the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Hazard quotient (HQ) data of SB and PS in doogh were below 1. Based on these findings, the obtained levels of preservatives in doogh do not pose a health risk to Iraqi consumers.
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.
