Abstract

Dietary acrylamide exposure potentially poses health risks, including increased cancer risk and neurotoxic effects. There is no official data on acrylamide levels in food products on the Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) market, making it challenging to assess the associated health risks. As a non-EU country, B&H lacks national regulations aligned with Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158, which establishes benchmark levels and mitigation measures for acrylamide. This study used GC-MS to assess acrylamide content in fifteen food products from the B&H market, categorised as potato crisps/sticks, biscuits/wafers, and coffee. Acrylamide levels in some potato crisps and sticks, tea rings, and plain biscuits exceeded benchmark values, while levels in butter biscuits, biscuits with inclusions, filling or coating, wafers, and instant coffee, remained within acceptable limits. The highest acrylamide level was in potato sticks (1048.3 μg/kg), and the lowest in butter biscuits (23.8 μg/kg). Potato crisps/sticks had the highest average acrylamide levels (677.5 μg/kg), followed by tea rings and plain biscuits (444.5 μg/kg). Potato-based snacks accounted for the highest estimated dietary acrylamide intake. Most products exceeding benchmark levels originated from B&H, suggesting local producers might not fully apply mitigation strategies. These findings emphasise the need for regulatory reform, regular market monitoring, and targeted mitigation efforts.

来自波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那市场的选定食品中的丙烯酰胺含量。
饮食中接触丙烯酰胺可能会带来健康风险,包括增加癌症风险和神经毒性作用。波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那市场上没有关于食品中丙烯酰胺含量的官方数据,因此很难评估相关的健康风险。作为非欧盟国家,B&H缺乏符合委员会法规(EU) 2017/2158的国家法规,该法规规定了丙烯酰胺的基准水平和缓解措施。本研究使用气相色谱-质谱法评估了来自B&H市场的15种食品中的丙烯酰胺含量,这些食品被分类为薯片/棒、饼干/华夫饼和咖啡。一些薯片和薯棒、茶圈和普通饼干中的丙烯酰胺含量超过了基准值,而黄油饼干、含内含物饼干、馅料或涂层饼干、华夫饼和速溶咖啡中的丙烯酰胺含量仍在可接受的范围内。丙烯酰胺含量最高的是马铃薯条(1048.3 μg/kg),最低的是黄油饼干(23.8 μg/kg)。薯片/薯棒的丙烯酰胺平均含量最高(677.5 μg/kg),其次是茶圈和普通饼干(444.5 μg/kg)。据估计,以土豆为基础的零食是丙烯酰胺摄入量最高的食物。大多数超过基准水平的产品来自B&H,这表明当地生产商可能没有充分实施减排战略。这些发现强调了监管改革、定期市场监测和有针对性的缓解措施的必要性。
