Glyphosate and glufosinate are broad spectrum herbicides, widely used in agriculture inhabited or industrialised areas, aminomethylphosphonic acid is a degradation product of glyphosate. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer reported that glyphosate probable carcinogenic. 2017, however, scientific opinion European Chemicals concluded not proven to be carcinogenic, mutagenic have negative effects reproduction. Nevertheless, was considered. Due their chemical-physical...
Reviewing the presence of contaminant residues is important both for food safety and monitoring environmental pollution. Here, occurrence 6 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 15 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), 7 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 4 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) 17 perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) was evaluated in mussels clams. A liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) an innovative QuEChERS extraction followed by gas...
The impact of anthropogenic wastes persistent organic pollutants (POPs) on the marine environment has increased in last decades. POPs include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCs). To assess levels these wild fish population, pelagic benthopelagic predator species were selected as biomonitors. For detection quantification muscular tissues, a simple extraction through Accelerated-Solvent-Extraction (ASE) with an 'in-line' clean up purification approach was...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Solid phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) have been reported as useful techniques for analysing volatile compounds to monitor fish freshness. In this study, SPME/GC/MS was applied cultured gilthead sea bream precooked prawn stored in ice 6 days order find possible markers of spoilage. Total basic nitrogen (TVB‐N) also determined a common index RESULTS: The TVB‐N value at the end storage period (302.40 ± 8.50 mg kg −1 ) within...
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been proposed as one of the main factors for differentiating honeys from different botanical/floral origins. In this work, we investigated volatile profile honeys, commercially labeled buckwheat Alps and its relationship with melissopalynological investigation. The results showed that honey samples contained, to extents, pollen grains on analyses similar VOCs profiles, distinguishing them other floral types analyzed. Among identified, 3‐methylbutanal,...
Demand for honey is increasing, especially if it organic and its nutritional properties are linked to untreated environments in order guarantee quality health. Sources of contamination can be divided into environmental apicultural. Therefore, the distribution persistent pollutants, pesticides antibiotic residues from geographical areas with different sources (high anthropic impact, intensive farming, husbandry low impact) was investigated confirm potential transfer xenobiotics supply chain...
Nowadays food wrapping assures attractive presentation and simplifies self-service shopping. Polyvinylchloride (PVC)- polyethylene (PE)-based cling-films are widely used worldwide for cheeses. For this purpose, films in retail possess suitable technical properties such as clinginess unrolling capacity, that achieved by using specific plasticizers during their manufacturing process. In the present study, main VOCs of three (either PVC-based or PE-based) use were characterized means...
Irradiation is a reputed efficient sterilizing method that demonstrated valuable effects on meat preservation. This research, based qualitative untargeted HPLC-Orbitrap metabolomics approach, was intended to estimate the variations in global metabolome profile of irradiated chicken, turkey, and mixed (chicken, pork) ground assess possible presence food safety issue concerning alteration. Overall, 402 metabolites were identified, all three matrices exhibited specific not influenced remarkably...
