RESUMEN
Human dietary exposure to chemical compounds is a priority issue for public health authorities since it constitutes a key step in risk assessment, and food packaging could be an important source of contamination. In this study, the bioaccessibility of cyclodi-BADGE was evaluated in canned seafood samples using a standardized protocol of in vitro gastrointestinal digestion and an analytical method based on liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. The impact of enzymes, different gastric pHs, and food-covering liquids on the bioaccessibility of cyclodi-BADGE was studied. The results highlighted that cyclodi-BADGE was available to be absorbed at the intestinal level (90.9-112.3%), and its bioaccessibility increased substantially in fat food samples. Finally, the estimated dietary exposure to cyclodi-BADGE in the Spanish adult population reached values of 14.26 µg/kg bw/day for tuna in tomato, exceeding the tolerable daily intake (1.5 µg/kg bw/day) recommended for chemicals with high toxicological risk.

The aim of the present study was to explore changes in the profile of volatile compounds (VCs) in canned Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) at different processing stages using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-IMS). A total of 43 VCs were detected using GC-IMS in all krill meat samples, which included mainly alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, and furans. Considering the different processing stages, the highest variation in VCs and the highest VC content were observed in krill meat which underwent both blanching and salt addition. PLS-DA further revealed flavor differences in canned Antarctic krill meat at different processing stages, with octanal, 2-hexanol, 2-octane, 2,3,5-trimethyl pyrazine, and cis-3-hexanol as the main contributors to observed differences in VC profiles. These findings contribute to the production of high-quality canned krill meat, enhancing its flavor quality and providing a feasible theoretical basis for future krill meat pretreatment and industry development.

Bisphenols are endocrine-disrupting chemicals used in plastics and resins for food packaging. This study aimed to evaluate the exposure to bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS), and bisphenol F (BPF) associated with the consumption of fresh, canned, and ready-to-eat meals and determine the effects of bisphenols on blood pressure and heart rate. Forty-eight healthy young adults were recruited for this study, and they were divided into the following three groups: fresh, canned, and ready-to-eat meal groups. Urine samples were collected 2, 4, and 6 h after meal consumption, and blood pressure and heart rate were measured. The consumption of ready-to-eat meals significantly increased urine BPA concentrations compared with canned and fresh meal consumption. No significant difference in BPS and BPF concentrations was observed between the groups. The consumption of ready-to-eat meals was associated with a significant increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and a marked decrease in diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. No significant differences were noted in blood pressure and heart rate with canned and fresh meal consumption. It can be concluded that total BPA concentration in consumed ready-to-eat meals is high. High BPA intake causes increase in urinary BPA concentrations, which may, in turn, lead to changes in some cardiovascular parameters.

There is limited research on the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in canned seafood. All types of canned seafood investigated in the present study were contaminated. After sample digestion in 30 % hydrogen peroxide, a total of 40 MPs were recovered. Fibers were the most common type, blue was the dominant colour, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identified polyester as the most common polymer. Considering all samples, an average of 3.5 ± 5.2 MPs/can was obtained, with octopus in tomato sauce and tuna in olive oil presenting the highest contamination (5.2 ± 7.5 MPs/can and 5.2 ± 5.1 MPs/can, respectively). Also, significant differences between the number of MPs in the seafood tissues and immersion liquids were verified. The present study demonstrates MPs occurrence in canned seafood, a potential contamination pathway for humans. More research on the different stages of the canning processing is vital for understanding MPs contamination in cans.

Food contaminated with heavy metals poses a serious threat to consumers. This study aims to assess levels of lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in offals of chicken, cattle, and pig as well as tin (Sn) in canned food. A total of 378 offal samples was collected from wet markets, while 218 canned food samples were purchased locally. Samples were digested using a microwave before analysis with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Pb was determined, highest in cattle lung (0.11 ± 0.20 mg/kg) followed by cattle spleen (0.09 ± 0.14 mg/kg), and cattle tripe (0.09 ± 0.12 mg/kg). For Cd, the highest concentrations were in cattle liver (0.13 ± 0.12 mg/kg), pig liver (0.08 ± 0.05 mg/kg), and chicken liver (0.03 ± 0.02 mg/kg). Significant variations of Sn levels existed in different canned food categories with 3.21% samples (n = 7) exceeded the maximum level of 250 mg/kg set by Codex Alimentarius. All offal samples were below the Malaysian regulatory limits, indicating their safety for human consumption. However, Sn levels varied significantly among canned food categories, with the highest levels found in canned pineapple chunks in syrup, mixed pineapple cubes in syrup, pineapple slices and longan. Samples exceeding the maximum level set by Codex Alimentarius may pose a risk to consumers.

Introducción. Los embutidos crudos se componen de carne fragmentada y otros ingredientes no cárnicos (sal, especias, fosfatos, nitritos) pero cuya formulación varía según el país; son productos altamente perecederos y podrían representar un riesgo para el consumidor. Objetivo. Los embutidos frescos son de alto consumo en varios países de Latinoamérica, por ello, el objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es compilar la información disponible sobre la calidad microbiológica de este tipo de productos en la región. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda de literatura (desde el 2006 a la fecha) en las principales bases de datos. Resultados. Se determinó que la calidad microbiológica de los embutidos crudos latinoamericanos no es adecuada según la reglamentación. Las bacterias más estudiadas son los microorganismos totales aerobios mesófilos (MTAM), y las bacterias ácido-lácticas (BAL); estos dos grupos son los referentes para determinar la vida útil. Los patógenos más analizados son Salmonella spp. y Listeria monocytogenes y llama la atención que Staphyloccoccus aureus no se utiliza como indicador de malas prácticas de higiene o de inocuidad. Conclusiones. En general se confirma que los embutidos frescos podrían ser un riesgo para la salud pública ya que presentan recuentos microbiológicos altos, en ocasiones no regulados. Algunos agentes antimicrobianos como los compuestos etanólicos de propóleos (EEP), compuestos fenólicos y bacteriófagos han sido estudiados. Sin embargo, no está claro si a nivel artesanal este tipo de ingredientes son utilizados del todo. Finalmente, destaca la necesidad de armonizar las metodologías de estudio y la normativa vigente en los distintos países(AU)
Introduction. Raw sausages are products composed of comminuted meat and other non- meat ingredients (salt, spices, phosphates, nitrites) but the formulation varies in each country. Given this nature, raw sausages are highly perishable and may represent an important risk for consumers. Aim. As raw sausages are highly consumed in many Latin-American countries, the objective of this literature review was to compile the available information about studies of the microbial quality of these products in the region. Materials and methods. For that purpose, a literature search was performed on main data bases to compile studies from 2006 to nowadays. Results. In general, it was found that microbiological quality of Latin-American raw sausages is not adequate according to current regulation. Total aerobic mesophilic microorganisms (TAMM) and Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were the most studied indicators; these two groups are the main reference to establish shelf life. Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes were the most studied pathogens, and it is noticeable that Staphyloccoccus aureus is not used as an indicator for safety or manipulation. Conclusions. It is perceived that raw sausages in the region could represent a public health risk as they frequently present high microbiological counts, not regulated in many cases. For conservation, antimicrobial agents as propolic ethanoplic extracts (PEE), phenolyc compounds, and bacteriophages have been studied. However, it is not clear if these ingredients are used at the artisanal level, even though it can be assumed that they are not given the high microbial numbers that are reported. Finally, it stands out the need of harmonization of methodologies and current regulation in the countries(AU)

Lifestyles, genetic predispositions, environmental factors, and geographical regions are considered key factors of heavy metals initiatives related to health issues. Heavy metals enter the body via the environment, daily lifestyle, foods, beverages, cosmetics, and other products. The accumulation of heavy metals in the human body leads to neurological issues, carcinogenesis, failure of multiple organs in the body, and a reduction in sensitivity to treatment. We screened for Cr, Al, Pb, and Cd in selected foods, beverages, and cosmetics products depending on questionnaire outcomes from female volunteers. We also screened for Cr, Al, Pb, and Cd on hair, nails, and serum samples using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) from the same volunteers, and we analyzed the serum cholinesterase and complete blood picture (CBC). We performed an AutoDock study on Cr, Al, Pb, and Cd as potential ligands. Our results indicate that the most elevated heavy metal in the cosmetic sample was Al. In addition, in the food and beverages samples, it was Pb and Al, respectively. The results of the questionnaire showed that 71 percent of the female volunteers used the studied cosmetics, food, and beverages, which were contaminated with Cr, Al, Pb, and Cd, reflecting the high concentration of Cr, Al, Cd, and Pb in the three different types of biological samples of sera, nails, and hair of the same females, with 29 percent of the female volunteers not using the products in the studied samples. Our results also show an elevated level of cholinesterase in the serum of group 1 that was greater than group 2, and this result was confirmed by AutoDock. Moreover, the negative variation in the CBC result was compared with the reference ranges. Future studies should concentrate on the actions of these heavy metal contaminations and their potential health consequences for various human organs individually.

It is known that the industry already abandoned the use of bisphenol A (BPA)-based epoxy resins as internal coatings for some canned food products (e.g. infant formula, soups). The presence of bisphenol A (BPA) in foods has also been extensively investigated, especially since late 2000. However, information on temporal trends of BPA occurrence in foods is very limited. It is not clear if BPA-based epoxy resins are still being used in internal coating for many other canned foods and if the overall exposure to BPA through consumption of canned foods has significantly decreased. As part of the Canadian total diet study (TDS) program, we have been analysing food samples for BPA since 2008. In this study, results of BPA in samples of different composite canned foods from 2008-2020 TDS were reported. Clear temporal trends were observed for canned fish and soups, with BPA levels being significantly reduced since 2014 for canned fish products and 2017 for canned soups. Temporal trends were not observed for canned evaporated milk, luncheon meats, and vegetables, with even the highest levels of BPA being detected in recent samples for evaporated milk (57 ng/g), luncheon meats (56 ng/g), and baked beans (103 ng/g). This seems to indicate that BPA-based epoxy resins are still being used in the internal coatings for these canned foods products. Thus, analysis of canned food samples for BPA should be continued for exposure assessment.

Quantitative analysis of bisphenol A (BPA) was performed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry. It was found that BPA was ionized as deprotonated species when anthracene was used as the matrix. A peak of deprotonated BPA and a peak assignable to epoxy resin were observed on analysis of liquids in canned tomato and mackerel samples. In addition, many identical peaks were observed from the liquids in both cans, indicating that epoxy resin was degraded and BPA was eluted into the canned tomato and mackerel during the storage period. It was suggested that the mackerel heat-treatment process and the acidity of tomato were responsible for the elution of BPA. Using bisphenol B (BPB) as the internal standard, the concentrations of BPA were determined to be 0.55 ± 0.05 and 1.72 ± 0.13 ng/µL (µg/mL) for the canned tomato and mackerel samples, respectively. These canned products were imported goods, and their BPA levels exceeded the safe concentration recommended by The Can Manufacturers Institute of Japan. The results indicate that consumers should exercise caution when consuming canned products particularly those manufactured overseas, which have different safety standards.

Cat food production is a billion-dollar industry in the United States, with most pet owners trusting pet food companies to provide their pets with complete nutrition. Moist or canned cat food is healthier than dry kibble for cats due to its higher water content promoting healthy kidney function, but ingredient labels on canned cat food are lengthy with ambiguous terminology including 'animal by-products.' Forty canned cat food samples were collected from grocery stores and were processed using routine histologic methods. Hematoxylin and eosin-stained tissue sections were evaluated microscopically to determine the cat food content. Many brands and flavors were composed of well-preserved skeletal muscles admixed with various animal organs, which closely approximates nutritional components found in natural feline prey. However, several samples demonstrated marked degenerative changes suggesting a delay in food processing and potential decrease in nutrient content. Four samples contained cuts consisting of skeletal muscle only with no organ meat. Surprisingly, 10 samples contained fungal spores and 15 demonstrated refractile particulate matter. A cost analysis demonstrated that although the overall quality of canned cat food increases as the average cost per ounce increases, low-cost high-quality canned cat food is available.

Tin (Sn) element plays a vital role in the human body, and its detection is a mandatory inspection item for canned food. The application of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) in fluorescence detection has received extensive attentions. In this work, we designed a kind of novel COFs (COF-ETTA-DMTA) with high specific surface area (353.13 m2/g) by solvothermal synthesis using 2,5-dimethoxy-1,4-dialdehyde and tetra (4-aminophenyl) ethylene as precursors. It shows fast response time (about 50 s), low detection limit (228 nM) and good linearity (R2 = 0.9968) for the detection of Sn2+. Via coordination behavior, the recognition mechanism of COFs toward Sn2+ was simulated and verified by the small molecule with the same functional unit. More importantly, this COFs was successfully applied to identify Sn2+ in solid canned food (luncheon pork, canned fish, canned red kidney beans) with satisfactory results. This work provides a new approach for determining metal ions with COFs taking the advantage of their natural rich reaction set and specific surface area, improving the detection sensitivity and capacity.

In this study, a conversion method and molecular imprinting technology were used to design molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP)-based ratiometric fluorescence test papers. The ZnO quantum dots (ZnO QDs) acted as the background quantum dots and ZIF-8 raw material. Carbon dots (CDs) were used as the identification signals. The imprinting layer achieved a selective function. Therefore, a ZnO@ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs sensor was designed for the detection of Bisphenol A (BPA). The sensor exhibited a fast response time for BPA detection. In addition, the sensor demonstrated that effective detection of BPA can still be achieved in complex environments. The detection limit of this sensor was 0.778 nM with a linear range of 0-60 nM. The corresponding test solutions exhibited clear changes from blue to yellow. The selectivity experiments results demonstrated that ZnO@ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs only exhibit excellent selective recognition effect for BPA. ZnO@ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs-2 was used for the detection of BPA in canned food and compared with the results of HPLC detection of BPA. The two spiked recovery ranges were 96.58-102.04% and 97.43-103.82%, respectively. In addition, the prepared ZnO@ZIF-8/CDs@MIPs-2 test paper visually recognized BPA under ultraviolet light. This study provides guidelines for the design and application of fluorescent test papers for quick detection in practical applications.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical which has raised concerns due to its potential toxicological effects on humans, has been widely detected in canned and non-canned meat and meat products. This study estimated BPA migration from packaging to non-canned and canned meat products by developing two probabilistic models. BPA concentration data in packaging materials were collated, including polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride, epoxy-based coatings, and polyester-based coatings. Migration ratios were calculated from migration tests of BPA molecules moving from packaging to food simulants. The predictive model revealed that the BPA migration concentration from packaging ranges from 0.017 to 0.13 (5th-95th percentile) µg kg-1 with a simulated mean of 0.056 µg kg-1 in non-canned meat products. This is in stark contrast to the simulated mean of 134.57 (5th-95th percentile: 59.17-223.25) µg kg-1 for canned meat products. Nevertheless, plastic packaging was estimated to contribute only 3 % of BPA levels in non-canned meat products. The sensitivity analysis showed that the contact area of meat products with films is the most sensitive parameter of the plastic packaging migration model. It is concluded that plastic packaging may not be the only or dominant source of BPA in non-canned meat products.

Food preservatives nowadays are widely used chemicals throughout the food industries due to their commercial importance in increasing the shelf life of foods. But daily consumption of these preserved food products may be fatal to human health. Among different aldehydic compounds, formaldehyde and benzaldehyde are mainly used for preservation. Therefore, we reported a study on simple, selective and sensitive non-enzymatic detection of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde using GA-AuNP@Tollens'. Plasmonic resonance of GA-AuNP@Tollens' was taken as the basis for sensing formaldehyde and benzaldehyde in the linear range of 10-150 nM and 0.15-0.75 µM respectively. Both optimization and detection were acquired at UV absorbance of 409 nm. Detection limit of formaldehyde and benzaldehyde obtained through the proposed method was 20.08 nM and 0.12 µM respectively. Smartphone based detection method showed good linearity with R-Square value of 0.95 for both analytes. Lastly, GA-AuNP@Tollens' was implemented for the quantification of analytes in real samples.

A core-shell magnetic sulfonatocalix[6]arene covalently cross-linked polymer was proposed as a magnetic adsorbent, combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for the enrichment and determination of epoxy derivatives in canned foods. The adsorbent has high density of host-guest recognition functional groups, abundant binding sites and suitable cavity size, showing good extraction performance for epoxy derivatives. Quantum chemical simulation calculations provedmultiple interaction forces in the adsorption process. Theextractionparameterswere investigated. Under optimized experimental conditions, 13 kinds of target analytes showed low detection limits (0.0072-0.023 ng/g) and good precisions (RSDs of 0.8 %-9.4 %). This method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of 13 kinds of epoxy derivatives in different food samples including canned beverage, fish, meat, and milk powder. Satisfactory recoveries (74.9 %-118 %) were obtained. The results showed the potential application prospects in the enrichment and detection of hazardous substances in food.

Canning, as a preservation technique, is widely used to extend the shelf life as well as to maintain the quality of perishable foods. During the canning process, most of the microorganisms are killed, reducing their impact on food quality and safety. However, the presence of a range of undesirable chemical contaminants has been reported in canned foods and in relation to the canning process. The present review provides an overview of these chemical contaminants, including metals, polymeric contaminants and biogenic amine contaminants. They have various origins, including migration from the can materials, formation during the canning process, or contamination during steps required prior to canning (e.g. the disinfection step). Some other can-packaged foods (e.g. beverages or milk powder), which are not canned foods by definition, were also discussed in this review, as they have been frequently studied simultaneously with canned foods in terms of contamination. The occurrence of these contaminants, the analytical techniques involved, and the factors influencing the presence of these contaminants in canned food and can-packaged food are summarized and discussed.

Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) is widely present in the inner coating of metal food cans, from which it can migrate into food and generate harmful derivatives during storage, such as bisphenol A (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether, and bisphenol A (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl) (2,3-dihydroxypropyl) glycidyl ether. Here, a gold-nanoparticle-based immunochromatographic strip assay based on a broad-spectrum polyclonal antibody was developed for the simultaneous detection of BADGE and its derivatives, which could be accomplished within 15 min. The quantitative analysis of the visualization results was performed using Adobe Photoshop CC 2021, and the detection limit, defined as the concentration causing 15% inhibition, was 0.97 ng/mL. The recoveries of BADGE and its derivatives at various spiking levels in canned food samples ranged from 79.86% to 93.81%. The detection results of the proposed immunochromatographic strip assay were validated via high-performance liquid chromatography, showing a good correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.9580).

Significant improvement in thiamin retention of canned cat food has not been achieved by altering processing conditions. Some ingredients, such as yeasts, may supply thiamin able to withstand thermal processing. Therefore, the study objective was to evaluate yeast ingredients as thiamin sources for canned cat food. Six yeast ingredients were screened for thiamin content, and values ranged from 9.9-4,283.8 mg/kg dry matter basis (DMB). Treatments for thermal processing were arranged as a 2×4 factorial with 2 levels of vitamin premix (with or without) and 4 yeast ingredients (NY = none and LBV, BY, or EA from the ingredient screening). Replicates (n = 3) were processed in a horizontal still retort to an average lethality of 79.23 minutes. Thiamin degradation was analyzed as a mixed model with pre-retort thiamin content as a covariate and production day as a random effect. Main effects of vitamin premix and yeast and their interaction were significant at P-values less than 0.05. The Fisher's LSD post hoc comparison test was used to separate means. On average, experimental formulas retained 33.75% thiamin. The main effect of vitamin premix (average -42.9 mg/kg DMB) was not significant (P > 0.05). Thiamin degradation between NY (-31.3 mg/kg DMB) and BY (-33.8 mg/kg DMB) was similar (P > 0.05) whereas EA (-40.5 mg/kg DMB) and LBV (-55.6 mg/kg DMB) lost more (P < 0.05) thiamin than NY. The experimental formula of EA with vitamin premix (-70.3 mg/kg DMB) lost more (P < 0.05) thiamin than no yeast, BY, or EA without vitamin premix (average -17.4 mg/kg DMB) and all others (average -57.3 mg/kg DMB) were intermediate (P > 0.05). In summary, thiamin from yeast ingredients didn't exhibit better thermal stability than thiamin mononitrate. However, those ingredients with similar degradation levels or uniquely high thiamin levels may provide added value.

In this study, a three-dimensional adsorbent was developed based on graphene oxide/AgO nanoparticles over interconnected nickel foam (GO/AgO@Ni foam) for rapid and efficient vortex assisted floating solid phase extraction of bisphenol A in canned food products prior to high performance liquid chromatography with a fluorescence detector. The analytical techniques scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) were used for characterization of the synthetized GO/AgO@Ni foam. The effect of proficiency factors including pH, foam size, vortexing time, salt addition, sample volume, desorption type and volume, and desorption time on the extraction efficiency of bisphenol A were explored through the matrix match method. Under the above experimental conditions, the figures of merit of the method were acquired as LODs (S/N = 3) of 0.18-0.84 µg kg-1, LOQs of 0.61-2.81 µg kg-1 (S/N = 10), linear ranges of 0.5-500 µg kg-1, and enrichment factors of 235.5-244.9. The inter-day precision values (RSD%, n = 7) of 2.5-3.6 and the intra-day precision (%) of (5 days and seven replicates for each day) 2.8-3.8 were achieved for bisphenol A at a concentration of 50 µg kg-1. The relative recoveries of 94.0% to 99.6% were obtained for the canned food samples.
