Element profiling is an interesting approach for understanding neurodegenerative processes, considering that compelling evidences show element toxicity might play a crucial role in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aim this study was to profile 22 serum elements subjects with or at risk AD. Thirtyfour patients probable AD, 20 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 24 subjective memory complaint (SMC) 40 healthy (HS) were included study. Manganese, iron, copper, zinc, selenium,...
Here, we propose a novel strategy that combines typical ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), data-independent mass spectrometry (MS(E)) workflow with traveling wave ion mobility (TWIM) and UV detection, to improve the characterization of carotenoids chlorophylls in complex biological matrices. detection selectively highlighted pigments absorbing at specific wavelengths, while TWIM coupled MS was used maximize peak capacity. We applied this approach for analysis different...
Fishery products, in particular those belonging to tuna species, widely present the human diet, may represent a toxicological issue because of level contamination by heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium and mercury) average per capita consumption. Control food safety is one pillars public health safeguard, therefore official laboratories are charge checking compliance products with quality standards for these toxic elements.. From 2014 2019, 108 samples, canned or unprocessed, were checked at...
Lead, cadmium and mercury are non-essential heavy metals that may interfere with biological systems, exhibiting high toxicity to human marine biota. Due bioaccumulation of in the food chain, seafood concentrate levels these contaminants since they often at top aquatic chain. In this study, 342 samples, subdivided into four categories (bivalve molluscs, cephalopod blue-fish other sea fish), were analysed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, order assess lead, mercury....
Debranning was applied to purple durum wheats identify the debranning levels that provide potential functional flours naturally rich in bioactive compounds and low toxic trace elements. Six times were (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 s) resulting corresponding six debranned grains (DG-1 DG-6). The content of total anthocyanins polyphenols, ash, essential (Cu, Mn, Zn, Se, Fe, Mo, Co) (Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Sn, Ni, Sr, V, Cr) elements antioxidant capacity determined. In DG-1, 40% 15% polyphenols lost,...
T-2 and HT-2 toxins are secondary metabolites of various species Fusarium. These molecules can have high potential toxic effects for human animal health. In this work, ELISA ultra performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (UPLC/FLD) were implemented validated as screening confirmatory tests the these two in cereal samples. The developed methods tested by analyzing 100 samples cereals reducing costs analysis time then using UPLC/FLD confirmation purposes. Both met criteria...
Durum wheat grains, which are mostly used for the production of pasta and several baked goods, represent a main source vegetable proteins calories. Concurrently, many contaminants, including toxic trace elements, may accumulate in them, posing potential severe hazard to human health. In this context, official control food safety purposes, 346 samples whole durum imported into Italian market from six countries (Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, Turkey, United States) during period...
Abstract Strontium-90 (Sr-90) contamination in food is a major public health issue. Several radiochemical methods are available for the determination of Sr-90. However, application these procedures not focused on solid foods, but only liquid (milk, water, etc.) and environmental matrices, they were fully validated. The aims this work to establish validate fast, sensitive method Sr-90 matrices such as meat dairy products, seafood, vegetables, animal feed, using specific resin extraction...
Graphical abstractAbstractThe use of food dyes in meat is regulated by the current European and non-European legislation, due to several safety concerns. A reliable method for quali-quantitative determination 12 (Amaranth, Ponceau 4R, Carmine, SX, 3R, Allura Red AC, Carmoisine, Erythrosine, Sudan I, II, III IV) products, high performance liquid chromatography coupled UV diode array detection presented. The extraction was accomplished using acetonitrile, methanol, water, ammonia, 50:40:9:1...
