Four modes of daily meal preparation; chafing dish, soup, salad and stir-frying were studied in this work to clarify their impact on the residual pesticides in foods. A detection method for 14 types of pesticide residues in different cuisines was developed. In this work, chronic exposure risks of four pesticides were analysed by probabilistic assessment based on data from public health and a pesticide residues investigation conducted. The results showed that chafing dish and soup methods greatly lowered the types, contents and exposure risks from residue pesticides. Salad preserved almost all the pesticide residues, and the risks were also relatively high in the stir-frying method. In chafing dish and soup, pesticide residues were dispersed in the media and posed quite low threats to humans. Considering the age, infants and children were at a higher risk of exposure than other populations. Reassuringly, all of the risks were at acceptable levels. This study clarified how the cooking modes affect chronic exposure risks to pesticide residues in the vegetables. The outcomes also show the effects of cooking method on healthy daily diets.","PeriodicalId":12121,"journal":{"name":"Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A","volume":"5 1","pages":"121 - 130"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88602174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study describes the development of an analytical method to determine STC in roasted coffee beans and black pepper using ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). 13C18-STC was used as internal standard. STC was extracted with a mixture of acetonitrile/water, diluted with a buffer, followed by purification with a solid-phase extraction and an immunoaffinity column prior to the UPLC-MS/MS analysis. Two multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions were employed, one for quantification and one for confirmation of STC. The UPLC-MS/MS analytical method was validated with respect to selectivity, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, precision, recovery, and stability. Calibration curves were linear over a concentration range 25–2,500 pg mL−1 with correlation coefficients (r) > 0.998. The method limit of quantification for STC in roasted coffee beans and black pepper was 0.10 μg kg−1. The accuracy and precision of the analytical method were acceptable within 15% at all quality control levels. This method was suitable to determine STC levels because of its selectivity, precision, and accuracy. The method was successfully applied to roasted coffee beans and black pepper samples.

Foliar urea fertilisation increased the concentration of amino nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN) in Tempranillo must. In addition, fertilisation with foliar urea produced an increase in the concentration of many amino acids in the must. This increase was especially noticeable in the case of the most important amino acids for yeast metabolism throughout the alcoholic fermentation (arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, histidine, serine and lysine). After comparing the results of this study with other ones, we may state that: in order to increase the amino acid concentration in must, it is important to apply the urea several times instead of making just one single application. Moreover, it is important to use a preparation of urea without biuret, which is a phytotoxic carbamyl urea formed as a condensation product arising from urea thermal decomposition.

Great efforts have been made to utilise these species as dried, smoked, and restructured fish products. However, in most of these products, it is quite challenging to identify the individual species as the external features are lost during processing, paving the way for species mislabelling. In this study, DNA barcoding (max, using about 650 bp, described as FDB; mini, of about 192 bp, described as MDB) was used for species identification of 139 specimens taken from 48 sardine products (canned and dried seasoning) randomly collected from local markets in Nanjing, China. Moreover, species specific primers were designed for Sardina pilchardus, with the aim to screen the species of S. pilchardus in mixed products. Results highlighted a success rate of amplification from 38.1% for FDB to 97.9% for MDB. Only one sample failed the Sanger-sequencing, and species-specific real time PCR confirmed the existence of S. pilchardus in the product. A maximum species identity in the range of 98-100% was obtained for all readable sequences and 11 species/genera were identified, belonging to 5 orders (Scorpaeniformes, Perciformes, Clupeiformes, Aulopiformes, Scombriformes). Significant legislative and managerial shortcomings and incentives to facilitate the market access of certain species, together with public indifference, represent the main reasons for fish fraud in China.

CAP molecule contains two asymmetric centers resulting in four para-CAP stereoisomers, but only the RR-CAP enantiomer is bioactive with significant antimicrobial activity. In this study the detection of the four CAP stereoisomers was tested by five commercial ELISA kits and the Charm® II Chloramphenicol Test. These immunoassay tests are commonly used and widely accepted for screening of CAP residues in foods of animal origin, including honey. The test results definitely show that SS-CAP residues are not detected; even high SS-CAP concentrations are missed due to the lack of any cross reactivity and the high specificity of the CAP antibodies to RR-CAP. In former studies chiral LC-MS/MS analysis indicated clearly that honey samples with raised CAP concentrations often contain the SS-CAP enantiomer in addition to the bioactive RR-CAP. According to this study, the investigated screening tests carry the risk of systematically false-compliant (false negative) results for CAP and a discrepancy between LC-MS/MS and ELISA/Charm® test results. As a consequence of this study, it is recommended that immunoassay manufacturers develop and use CAP antibodies which also bind SS-CAP. The origin of SS-CAP residues in honey samples is discussed and general toxicological and regulatory aspects of CAP stereoisomers are raised.

The analysis of mineral oil in food is convoluted since it comprises MOSH (saturated hydrocarbons) and variable amounts of mainly alkylated MOAH (aromatic hydrocarbons). Both fractions have a different toxicological profile and therefore they need to be assessed separately. For Belgium, occurrence data are available comprising concentrations of 217 food samples. These data were used, in combination with the 2014/15 Belgian Food Consumption Survey data, in a lower bound scenario to evaluate the dietary exposure of the Belgian population. Exposure to mineral oil was much lower compared to the results previously reported by EFSA and RIVM. The main contributors in Belgium were similar to previous studies (i.e. cereal products and oils), but an important additional contribution of non-alcoholic drinks was identified due to the presence of mineral oil in coffee. However, the concentration of mineral oil was determined from the dry product by applying a dilution factor with transfer rate of 100%, and not in the prepared coffee. This study gives an account of the dietary exposure of the Belgian population to mineral oil for the first time and reports the associated uncertainties.
