Sports nutrition supplementation is a widespread practice. Whey protein supplements contribute not only to intake but also dietary exposure minerals. The labelling present provides the percentage of and rarely refers other components, such as potentially toxic elements B, Cu, Mo, Zn, V that tolerable upper levels set by European Food Safety Authority. declared on supplement was checked using Kjeldahl method, Ca, Mg, K, Na, Ba, Co, Cr, Sr, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, V, Al were analyzed ICP-OES with aim...
Abstract Infertility has become more common, with an increased exposure to toxic compounds including heavy metals (HM). Follicular fluid (FF) surrounds the developing oocyte in ovary and can be analysed assess metal content. The levels of twenty-two were measured FF ninety-three females a reproduction unit, their influence on assisted technique (ART), examined. determined by optical emission spectrophotometry. Low values copper, zinc, aluminium, calcium favour polycystic syndrome....
The Canary Islands, located in the Atlantic Ocean, are an archipelago of volcanic origin which, for decades, has been affected by natural fluoride contamination water supply some its islands, mainly island Tenerife. In addition, recent eruptions and increased demand have led to increase content other areas historically, were not affected. Fluoride was determined 274 samples from most populated islands Islands (Tenerife Gran Canaria) collected during months June 2021 May 2022. analysed ion...
Baby food from jars is made of meat, vegetables or fruits, and might be a valuable source essential elements such as Na K. However, these infant products could also toxic Al Cd, which are dangerous to infants. In total, 45 samples various kinds baby in (meat, vegetables, fruit mixed) were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP OES) with the aim evaluating daily intake (K, Na, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Mo, Mn) dietary exposure (Al, Pb, B, Ba, V, Sr, Li, Ni). Mixed...
There are a large number of pests which detrimental to plant production, specifically banana cultivation, and the use pesticides is main method control these pests. Therefore, active substances in has been steadily increasing since before Second World War. growing consumer concern about health effects pesticide residues there certainly evidence link between exposure prevalence chronic diseases. it particular interest study presence bananas their toxicological, agricultural legal...
Instant soups and noodles are one of the most widely consumed commercial food products. These products made from ingredients animal (chicken, meat) and/or vegetable origin, in addition to various additives that prolong shelf life product. It should be noted instant a dehydrated product, whose water-removal process can increase accumulation contaminants, such as toxic metals (Al, Cd, or Pb), harmful health consumers. The content Pb) total 130 samples different types (poultry, meat,...
Canary Islands is a North Atlantic Ocean archipelago in the Macaronesian region that stand out for its great algae diversity and climatic conditions. However, even this low industrialised area, human activities tend to increase marine pollution. Asparagopsis spp. Liagora are red frequent Islands’ coasts. Therefore, they could be used as bio-indicators of pollution trace elements. A total 30 samples both algae’s species from Tenerife’s southern coast, specifically Playa Grande, Porís de...
The objective of this study was to whether the metal concentrations in Sparisoma cretense and Serranus atricauda differ between different coastal areas around island Tenerife, Canary Islands these species are good bioindicators pollution. Thirty samples each were collected from three parts coastline island, muscle liver tissue taken specimens. determination content (Al, Cd, Pb, Ca, K, Mg, Na, B, Ba, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Zn) performed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission...
Fluoride is present in various foods ingested daily. It has been demonstrated that the intake of high concentrations fluoride, both adults and children, can cause pathologies, among which dental fluorosis, osteoporosis damage to central nervous system stand out. The objective this study was determine fluoride 60 samples ready-to-drink cold brewed coffee different brands types (expresso, cappuccino, macchiato decaffeinated) by ion-selective potentiometric method. A statistical analysis also...
The consumption of vegetable milk as a substitute for cow's has increased in recent years. Of all the beverages on market, soy is most widely consumed. Soy exposed to contamination by different chemical elements during harvesting. In this study, concentration fluoride was analyzed. Fluoride an element that high concentrations can be toxic, causing dental and bone fluorosis. aims study were (i) analyze 30 samples popular brands (A-Brand, B-Brand, C-Brand) soybean ion selective potentiometer...
Fluoride is present in a multitude of foods, mainly water, but fruit juices and nectars are also relevant dietary sources, not only because their high water content the consumption figures, especially children adolescents. beneficial hormetin to prevent appearance cavities exposures it can pose health risk. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has established maximum Tolerable Intake Level (UL) between 0.1 0.12 mg/kg weight/day depending on age. objectives this study were determine...
