Abstract:Objective The interaction between bisphenol E(BPE) and serum albumin was analyzed to provide a useful referrence for the rapid evaluation of the toxicological effect of bisphenols.Methods Electropherograms of serum albumin with BPE under physiological conditions in vitro were determined using external calibration Hummel-Dreyer (HD) method by capillary electrophoresis. To obtain the interaction parameters, the experimental data were analyzed by three functional forms: Nonlinear equation, Scatchard equation and Klotz equation.Results Three form functions were fitted with the interaction parameters. The binding ratio of BPE and serum albumin was about 2. The interaction parameters showed that two kinds of serum albumin had the same number of binding sites, and the binding between different albumin and BPE were both non-covalent interactions.Conclusion As a simple and effective method, external calibration HD method could be used to analyze the protein pollutant interaction in the food safety field. BPE showed similar moderate interaction with different serum albumin, which suggested that bisphenol compounds had similar pollution distribution regularity in human body and cattle.

Abstract:Objective To clarify the best water cycle sterilization method of canned chestnut in flexible packaging, the effects of different water cycle sterilization and heat sterilization intensity (F) on the sensory quality were explored.Methods When the sterilized temperature and time were the same, the horizontal still water immersion retort, horizontal still water spray retort and horizontal still water shower retort were used to sterilize the canned chestnut in flexible packaging. The heat sterilization intensity (F) of canned chestnut in flexible packaging was calculated by General method, and the influence of different F values on the sensory quality were explored. According to the above determined F, the F in the upper and lower ranges were constructed. When the F was the same, the BALL formula method was used to calculate the sterilized temperature and time of different water cycles, and to explore the effects of different water cycles on the sensory quality.Results When the sterilized temperature and time were the same, the F of horizontal still water immersion retort was 6.2 min, the horizontal still water spray retort was 5.1 min, and the horizontal still water shower retort was 4.9 min. When the F was 5.1 min, the sensory quality evaluation of chestnut was the best. According to F=5.1 min, the ranges of heat sterilized intensity were 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 min. When the F values were 3~5 min, the sensory quality of chestnut under the three water cycle sterilization processes was positively correlated with the F. When the F values were 5~7 min, the sensory quality of chestnut was negatively correlated with the F.Conclusion When the sterilized temperature and time were the same, the sensory quality evaluation of chestnut after water spray retort was the best. When the F was the same, the sensory quality of chestnut was the best with water spray retort, followed by water immersion retort and water shower retort. In summary, among the three water cycle sterilization process conditions, the chestnut had the best sensory quality after water spray retort.

Abstract:Objective To reveal the effects of specific factors on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in peanut oil and the status of AFB1 contamination in peanut oil in Guangdong Province from 2017 to 2018 was taken as an example.Methods A total of 637 peanut oil samples were collected from 21 cities in Guangdong Province from 2017 to 2018, and their labels were recorded. The content of AFB1 in peanut oil was detected according to “GB 5009.22—2016 Determination of aflatoxin group B and group G in foods”. The temperature data of manufacturing place was obtained from ECMWF Reanalysis v5 database (ERA5) and the average temperature of the month before production was calculated, and the correlation between temperature and AFB1 content was then analyzed.Results The total detection rate of AFB1 in peanut oil samples was 65.3% with 24.6% over-standard rate. There was no over-standard sample in the standardized packages, while the bulk samples had a higher over-standard level rate and the median content of AFB1 was significantly higher than that in the standardized package samples. Among several meteorological factors, average temperature of the month before peanut oil production had a strong relevance to the over-standard rate and content of AFB1 in the samples. The median content of AFB1 in bulk peanut oil samples with average temperature of pre-production above 25 ℃ was about 3.5 times that of the samples with average temperature below 22 ℃. However, other meteorological factors showed no correlation with AFB1 content in peanut oil.Conclusion AFB1 in bulk peanut oil samples in Guangdong Province from 2017 to 2018 has a high over-standard rate, and the average temperature of pre-production is a key factor affecting the content of AFB1. Therefore, the government should raise the awareness of the production environment and production process to ensure the quality of bulk peanut oil and reduce the risk of AFB1 exposure and other risks.

Abstract:Objective A qualitative and quantitative method was established for the simultaneous detection of 60 mycotoxins in nuts and dried fruits.Methods Peanuts and raisins, two typical food substrates rich in fat and sugar, were pre-processed by QuEChERS technique (900 mg MgSO4, 150 mg PSA, 150 mg C18), and analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Orbitrap/MS) with full scan and data-dependent scanning (dd-MS2) mode. It was qualitatively determined by the retention time and accurate mass of mycotoxins, the chromatographic peak area was quantified, and the fragment ion information was used for confirmation.Results The results showed that the pH value of the extraction solution significantly affected the dissociation state of mycotoxins, which in turn affected the recovery rate. The interference of components such as carbohydrates and lipids in the sample was effectively removed by QuEChERS purification, and the accuracy of qualitative and quantitative analysis was improved. A blank matrix-matched standard curve was used for calibration to reduce the matrix effect and meet the quantitative analysis requirements. The mycotoxins had a good linear relationship within their respective mass concentration ranges (correlation coefficient R2>0.95), and the recoveries were 60%-120% with relative standard deviation less than 20%. The other seven mycotoxins with R2 less than 0.95 can be qualitatively analyzed.Conclusion Compared with the detection method based on triple quadrupole mass spectrometry, the high-resolution mass spectrometry method is easier to quantify, and there is no need to optimize the parent ion, product ion and collision energy for the target one by one,which can effectively reduce the difficulty and time consuming for multi-target analysis. The method has high sensitivity, accuracy and reliable results, and is suitable for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of 60 mycotoxins in nuts and dried fruits.

Abstract:Objective To provide a reference for food safety risk assessment and safety assurance for the Winter Olympics and Beijing residents, the exposure level and possible health risks of cadmium (Cd) in main foods in the surrounding areas of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were evaluated. Methods Based on the hazard assessment and limit standard analysis of cadmium, the point assessment method was used to assess the dietary exposure risk of cadmium. The 2019 to 2020 on-site sampling survey data of an urban area of Beijing and Zhangjiakou Chongli area and the 2018 Beijing main food consumption survey data were used in this pre-assessment. Results The cadmium provisional tolerated monthly intake (PTMI) established by joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) was 25 μg/kg·BW. The overall average content of cadmium in various foods was 0.010 6 mg/kg, and the overall rate of exceeding the standard was 0.47%. The average exposure of Beijing residents to cadmium through the main food was 5.92 μg/(kg·BW·m), accounting for 23.66% of the JECFA-recommended provisional tolerable monthly intake (PTMI) of 25 μg/kg·BW. In addition, cereals and vegetable foods were the main sources of dietary cadmium exposure. According to the current limit of cadmium (LOC) in GB 2762—2017 National Food Safety Standards Limits of contaminants in food, except for these two categories of food, the theoretical exposure to cadmium in the rest of the food did not exceed the PTMI. The estimated LOC for vegetables, grains and cereals is 0.172 and 0.199 mg/kg, both of which were less than the maximum limit value stipulated by the national standard. Conclusion The main food cadmium exposure of Winter Olympics and Beijing residents is generally at a safe level, and the health risk is relatively low.

Abstract:Objective To understand the potential harm and influencing factors to the health risk of residents through the exposure of nitrite in cooked meat products in S district of Beijing.Methods The nitrite contents in 535 cooked meat samples in S district from 2013 to 2019 was monitored by spectrophotometry, the food consumption of meat products at different ages in S district were collected through nutrition survey. Compared with the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0.07 mg/kg·BW established by the joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (FAO/WHO JECFA), the health risk of nitrite dietary exposure was analyzed.Results The detection rate of nitrite in cooked meat products sold in S district of Beijing was 94.02%, and the violation rate was 9.16%. The daily exposure of nitrite from cooked meat products for people over 2 years old ranged from 0.000 0 to 0.390 0 mg/kg?BW, the average nitrite exposure was 0.018 8 mg/kg·BW, and 2.5 % of the residents exceeded the ADI. Except 50~64 years-old group and ≥80 years-old group, the daily exposure of nitrite from cooked meat products exceeded the ADI. Daily exposure of nitrite from cooked meat products in 2~5 years-old group and 6~12 years-old group exceeded ADI at P95 percentile,which was at an unacceptable level. The daily exposure of nitrite from cooked meat products in the 13~17 years-old group was equal to ADI at P95 percentile.Conclusion Nitrite residues in cooked meat products sold in S district had the risk of chronic toxicity in some population. Supervision and sampling efforts should be strengthened to popularize nitrite-related knowledge to the public, and minimized the addition of exogenous nitrite and the production of endogenous nitrite.
