In the present study, levels of bisphenol A (BPA) and analagous compounds in muscle liver fish (Dicentrarchus labrax, Trachurus trachurus, Scomber colias) from North East Atlantic Ocean were determined risk their consumption by humans was assessed. The potential relationship between concentrations microplastic (MP) contamination also investigated. Fish all species had BPA muscle, B (BPB) E (BPE) muscle. highest concentration (302 ng/g dry weight - dw) found S. colias lowest one (5 T....
Abstract This paper describes the use of a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method for extraction cleanup 16 pesticide residues interest in olives olive oil. These products contain high lipid content, which can adversely affect recoveries harm traditional chromatographic systems. For extraction, main factors (oil water content) were studied optimized experiments to maximize recoveries. Dispersive SPE with different sorbents was also investigated minimize matrix...
The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable, cost-effective, fast and simple method quantify simultaneously both bisphenol A (BPA) B (BPB) in liquid food matrixes such as canned beverages (soft drinks beers) powdered infant formula using dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction (DLLME) with in-situ derivatisation coupled heart-cutting gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). For the optimisation DLLME procedure different amounts various extractive solvents well derivative...
A new analytical method for the rapid and simultaneous determination of five mycotoxins (zearelenone, deoxynivalenol, Fusarenon X, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol nivalenol) in breakfast cereals flours by heart-cutting GC-MS has been developed validated. Extraction was performed with MeCN, applying a modified QuEChERS (QUick, Easy, CHeap, Effective, Rugged Safe) procedure, extracts were analyzed after silylation analytes under study. Careful optimization parameters Deans Switch device achieved order...
Abstract Meat and fish are muscle foods rich in valuable nutrients, such as high‐quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, and, the case of fish, also unsaturated fatty acids. The escalation meat production has increased occurrence pesticide antibiotic residues, result pest control on feed crops, antibiotics used to fight infections animals. usually cooked enrich taste, soften texture, increase safety, improve nutrient digestibility. However, impact cooking nutritional properties formation...
In many ecosystems, the zooplankton community has been pressured simultaneously by microplastic pollution and alterations resulting from global climate changes. The potential influence of light intensity rise (from 10,830 lx to 26,000 lx) water temperature 20 °C 25 °C) on long term-toxicity microplastics (MPs) Daphnia magna were investigated. Three 21-day laboratory bioassays with model MPs (1–5 μm diameter) carried out at (i) °C/10830 lx, (ii) °C/26000 (iii) lx. each bioassay, one control...
Breastfeeding is one of the most effective ways to ensure child health and survival, with several benefits for both infants their mothers. However, breast milk can contain environmental pollutants endocrine disruption capacity, neurotoxicity and/or potential alter microbiota. Monitoring provides information on current chemical exposure breastfed and, in addition, historical nursing In this study, levels a wide range were measured Spanish Target chemicals dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane...
Pollution-induced neurotoxicity is of high concern. This pilot study investigated the potential relationship between presence microplastics (MPs) in brain 180 wild fish (Dicentrarchus labrax, Platichthys flesus, Mugil cephalus) from a contaminated estuary and activity acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. MPs were found 9 samples (5% total), all them D. labrax collected summer, which represents 45% this species that season (20). Seventeen recovered samples, with sizes ranging 8 to 96 μm....
Mycotoxins can inflict harmful effects on diverse organs, and mounting evidence indicates their potential involvement in human neurodegenerative diseases. Given the common occurrence of these toxins food, there is an increasing demand for a comprehensive assessment combined toxicity to enhance our understanding hazards. This research investigates mycotoxin exposure from widely consumed cereal-based products, including enniatin B (ENNB), sterigmatocystin (STG), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1),...
