This review study presents an overview of current knowledge about the dietary toxicity of 3-MCPD, glycidol, and their fatty acid esters. A literature search in two databases from January 2012 to December 2023 yielded 75 eligible articles for this review. The majority (73%) of the articles focused on 3-MCPD- and 3-MCPD fatty acid ester-induced toxicities. Nephrotoxicity (32%) was the most studied toxicity, whereas the least studied were carcinogenicity (4%) and hematotoxicity (4%). The metabolism of glycidol and its esters to 3-MCPD in the gastrointestinal tract remained a subject of contention as studies reported opposing findings. There was also new evidence of 3-MCPD-induced reproductive toxicity, hematotoxicity, and nephrotoxicity and 3-MCPD- and glycidol-induced neurotoxicity and genotoxicity. Findings suggest animal species-dependency in 3-MCPD’s carcinogenicity expression. Meanwhile, the 3-MCPD toxicity mechanism in obese rats is poorly understood. The review recommends further studies into the 3-MCPD toxicity mechanism in obese rats and the possible conversion of glycidol to 3-MCPD in gastrointestinal tracts.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15951,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Food Quality","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/7913820","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141608110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EB extract as nonencapsulated (NE), encapsulated (E) in microcapsules, and the combination of nonencapsulated + encapsulated (NE + E) at different concentrations of 1, 3, and 5% (w/v) were added to apple juice.

Therefore, the present study was conducted to study the effect of different doses of nitrogen fertilizer (0–400 kg·N/ha) and storage conditions on the quality attributes of spinach leaves such as respiration rate, physiological loss in weight (PLW), chromatic properties, chlorophyll, puncture strength, TSS, pH, and nitrate during the storage studies.

Various formulations substituting wheat flour with almond bagasse powder, obtained by air drying or freeze-drying at 10%, 15%, and 25%, were analysed in terms of technological and rheological properties. Furthermore, the physical and antioxidant attributes of biscuits with superior nutritional and functional values produced using these blends were examined. The results revealed significant changes in oil retention capacity, stability, and emulsifying activity, influenced by both the level of wheat flour replacement and the drying method used to obtain the almond bagasse powder. The most significant changes were observed in the emulsifying activity, which was zero in the wheat flour and showed values of 20% in the hot air-dried almond bagasse powder and 59% in that obtained by freeze-drying. In the blends, the values of this variable ranged from 1.8% to 7.1%. The highest value was obtained with a 25% replacement of wheat flour by freeze-dried almond powder. On the other hand, the lack of starch and the high concentration of fat (around 25%) and insoluble fibre (higher than 20%) in the almond bagasse powder determined the viscoelastic behaviour of the hydrated blends. As the percentage of substitution with the almond bagasse powder increased, the final viscosity decreased, being reduced from 2302 MPa·s in the wheat flour to 873 MPa·s in the blend containing 25% hot air-dried almond powder. It is worth noting that, the use of these blends for biscuit preparation resulted in a final product with a higher content of antioxidant components.
