Residues of AGs in food can enter the human body through the food chain and biomagnification. Due to the specific structure and properties of AGs, it is difficult to achieve adequate extraction and separation during analysis, often giving rise to matrix effects. An LC-MS/MS analysis after cleanup based on dipole interaction, hydrogen bonding, adsorption and ion interaction, was developed to determine 16 AGs residues in livestock and poultry meat. The samples were extracted with phosphate buffer (pH 4.0, containing trichloroacetic acid, EDTA-2Na, 0.05 moL L-1 sodium pentanesulfonate, and sodium hexanesulfonate), purified by HLB solid-phase extraction column, and retained and separated by HILIC column with hydrophilic interaction. High correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.99) of calibration curves for the analytes were obtained, linear from 25 to 1500 ng mL-1. The detection limits were 0.006-1.0 μg kg-1, the limits of quantification were 0.02-3.0 μg kg-1. Reasonable recoveries (61%-119%) were demonstrated with acceptable relative standard deviation (RSD < 18%) at 50, 250, and 500 μg kg-1. The signals due to most AGs were affected by different strong matrix effects of livestock and poultry meat, and showed different inhibition and enhancement phenomena, resulting in false negative/positive misjudgments in the results. In terms of overall data and consideration, this method should be an efficient approach for multi-residue analysis as a reliable, selective, and highly sensitive methodology for the simultaneous quantification and confirmation of AGs in livestock and poultry meat.","PeriodicalId":520628,"journal":{"name":"Food additives & contaminants.

For two cropping seasons this study evaluated the effect of groundnut genotypes and native Trichoderma species on aflatoxin contamination. Thirty-six treatment combinations of 12 groundnut genotypes, two native Trichoderma species, and controls, were arranged in a triple lattice design with three replications. After harvest, groundnut seed samples were analyzed for aflatoxin using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a fluorescence detector (HPLC-FLD). Results revealed highly significant (p < 0.0001) differences among treatments in specific aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, and G2) and total aflatoxin concentrations. Aflatoxin contamination of untreated groundnut genotypes was the lowest in genotype BaHa-gudo (7.3-12.7 µg/kg) and the highest in Werer-961 (167.6-182.6 µg/kg). Treating groundnut genotypes with Trichoderma species reduced aflatoxin accumulation several-fold compared to control plots, and to levels below the EU's tolerable limit (4 µg/kg). Overall, the native Trichoderma species significantly reduced pre-harvest aflatoxin contamination but different groundnut genotypes responded differently. Current results confirm the potential of integrating host genotypes and bio-control for successful and sustainable aflatoxin management.","PeriodicalId":520628,"journal":{"name":"Food additives & contaminants.

Considering the importance of dairy products in the human diet, this review examines the global occurrence, sources, and health risks of PFAS contamination in milk and dairy products (hereinafter referred to as \"MDPs\"). The results of the PFAS detection in the reviewed studies show a diverse contamination pattern influenced by local industrial activities, agricultural practices and regulatory measures. PFAS have been detected in various MDPs, with significant contamination near industrial areas. MDPs are indicated to be significant vectors of individual exposure to PFAS, with contamination arising primarily from dairy animal feed, water and atmospheric sediments, as well as food processing materials. The health effects of PFAS exposure through MDPs consumption, particularly the risk of endocrine disruption, immunosuppression, and carcinogenicity, are also discussed. This review highlights the need for global standards and policy measures, encompassing stricter regulations on industrial emissions, agricultural practices, and more, to effectively reduce PFAS contamination in MDPs and safeguard consumer health.","PeriodicalId":520628,"journal":{"name":"Food additives & contaminants.

This food contamination may pose health risks and harm humans and animals. Therefore, the applicability of methods to eliminate or mitigate contaminants in these matrices has been increasingly investigated worldwide. This paper reviews adsorption as mycotoxin mitigation technology. Adsorption outperforms chemical and biological methods due to its simple design and high removal rates. In addition, applying other mitigation methods may compromise the food's quality, especially when strong solvents or high temperatures are used. This review proves that adsorption is a surface phenomenon involving mass transfer of the adsorbate to the adsorbent and does not interfere with product quality. Besides that, depending on the adsorbent agent, it may have a low impact on the environment, economic advantages, and the possibility of reusing the agent after eliminating or mitigating mycotoxins efficiently. Thus, this review aims to compile information found in the literature on the applicability and efficacy of adsorbents to reduce mycotoxins in many different food matrices.","PeriodicalId":520628,"journal":{"name":"Food additives & contaminants.

A total of 2,304 individual dilis were analysed, with 37 MPs identified, predominantly blue-colored (57%) and fiber-shaped particles (54%).

The mean estimated annual intake (EAI) of MPs from dried fish in these cities is 355 items per person. Risk assessment using the polymer hazard index classified Iligan at hazard level III, while Pagadian and Cagayan de Oro at hazard level V.

Their intakes are considered safe below the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI); thus, assessing the population's exposure to these substances is a fundamental step in the context of risk assessment. Although there are some studies on exposure to HIS in Brazil, no information is available for children. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to evaluate the intake of HIS (acesulfame potassium, aspartame, sodium cyclamate, neotame, saccharin, sucralose, steviol glycosides, and advantame) by children aged 1 to 3 years in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil, as well as characterise potential risks to health and identify the main sources of these food additives in the diet. For that, food consumption data obtained from 24-hour recall were combined with analytical concentrations of HIS in commercial products obtained through ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Different exposure scenarios were analysed to characterise the risk of HIS intake compared to the ADI. It was observed that the mean and high percentiles of exposure (P90 and P95) of the general population, consumers only, and brand loyalty consumers suggest HIS intake below the ADI, which should not represent a toxicological risk to health in the evaluated group. In the case of sodium cyclamate, the exposure at P95 of the population of brand loyalty consumers represented 83.5% of the ADI, which was the maximum value observed considering all exposure scenarios and HIS evaluated. The 'industrialised juices' category contributed the most to the intake of the higher number of HIS. Most participants (63.0%) had simultaneous exposure to more than one HIS.","PeriodicalId":520628,"journal":{"name":"Food additives & contaminants.

In total 13 participating laboratories were requested to apply their in-house commercial method to analyse a plastic laminate. Migration in Tenax and 50% ethanol and extraction were requested. Results revealed inconsistencies across the laboratories, primarily attributable to variations in analytical techniques, analytical standards selected, libraries used, and reporting practices. Notably, improved consistency was observed when aligned methodologies were employed, highlighting the necessity for standardisation in non-targeted screening processes. The findings suggest that a method to achieve consistent results below 0.1 mg/kg food may be more difficult to achieve making it challenging to meet the requirements from the recent European Commission Regulation 2025/351 on purity criteria.
