Abstract
The present study aimed to quantify the levels of eight marker PAHs and six indicator PCBs in canned sardine fish using the QuEChERS (fast, easy, cheap, effective, resistant, and safe) method and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Recoveries of PAHs and PCBs varied from 62% to 120% and 82% to 103% respectively, with a maximum relative standard deviation of 12.2%. Raw sardine contained BaP, PAH8, and Σ6PCBs levels of 4.07 ± 0.30 µg/kg, 23.3 ± 0.55 µg/kg, and 7.19 ± 0.15 µg/kg, respectively. Levels of PAH8 and Σ6PCBs in canned sardine fish varied from
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.
