Nitrate, nitrite and nitrosamine: contents and analyses in selected foods; effect of vitamin C supplementation on N-nitrosodimethylamine formation in humans; and an investigation of natural alternatives to nitrites as preservatives in cured meat products

Hsu, James Chun Hou, Chemical Sciences & Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW January 2009 (has links)
Dietary nitrite intake has been implicated in numerous gastrointestinal cancers in humans due to the formation of a group of carcinogens called N-nitroso compounds. The need to estimate their intake is vital in establishing at risk population and to monitor and perhaps one day manage their dietary intake. This is the first study to estimate nitrate and nitrite in selected vegetables, cured and fresh meat in Australian food supply using ion-paired reversed-phased HPLC. Nitrite content in meat products analysed ranged from 0 to 83.9 mg/kg in medallion beef and Frankfurt, respectively; nitrate content ranged from 18.7 mg/kg in minced beef to 142.5 mg/kg in salami. The nitrite content was below the maximum limit set by the Food Standards Australia and New Zealand. Nitrate content in selected vegetables ranged from 123 to 4850 mg/kg in Iceberg lettuce and English spinach, respectively; only minimal nitrite at 20 mg/kg was present in Gai choy, which was most likely due to bacterial contamination during storage. Based on the food consumption pattern of Australians, the dietary nitrite and nitrate intake from bacon were 1.51 and 3.42 mg per capita per day, which was below the Adequate Daily Intake set by the European Union Scientific Committee for food in 1995. Taking into considerations of oral nitrate reduction to nitrite and the endogenous nitrate formation, the upper extreme of dietary nitrite and nitrate intake in Australians were 44 and 2.4 times over the ADI, respectively. However, this does not take into effect of other dietary promoters and inhibitors. Eighteen healthy human volunteers were put on a low nitrate, nitrite and antioxidant diet for three days during which they were fed one serving of cured meat with and without 500 mg of vitamin C. Using GC-MS, N-nitrosodimethylamine was not detected in the urine before or after vitamin C supplementation, suggested that a diet low on nitrate and nitrite cannot produce NDMA and thus may reduce the risk of developing gastrointestinal cancers. Different extraction methods and combination of herbs and spices were demonstrated in vitro to show inhibition against B. cereus, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, autoclaved turmeric powder at 0.3 % (w/v), hot water extracted turmeric with ginger at 0.5 % and rosemary at 1.0 % showed growth inhibition against Clostridium sporogenes, which was used as a surrogate for Clostridium botulinum. The use of these combinations of herbs and spices may replace or at least reduce the use of nitrite as a preservative in cured meat products to prevent botulism and reduce dietary nitrite intake.

Capacidade de detecção de adulteração e suficiência das provas oficiais para assegurar a qualidade do leite pasteurizado / Ability to detect adulteration and sufficiency of the official tests to assure pasteurized milk quality

Silva, Lívia Cavaletti Correa da January 2013 (has links)
O leite é um alimento sujeito à fraudes. As mais frequentes são a adição de água, reconstituintes, conservantes e neutralizantes. Apesar da legislação determinar a pesquisa diária dessas substâncias, a avaliação do leite pelas indústrias geralmente é realizada apenas por análises físico-químicas genéricas como densidade e crioscopia. Contudo, essas fraudes muitas vezes são calculadas para impedir sua identificação por provas de rotina não específicas. O objetivo desse trabalho foi pesquisar a ocorrência de fraudes, resíduos de antibióticos e irregularidades físico-químicas e microbiológicas em leite pasteurizado, bem como avaliar a capacidade de detecção de adulterações e a suficiência das provas oficiais específicas e inespecíficas na identificação da adição de reconstituintes, conservantes e neutralizantes. Foram avaliadas 100 amostras de leite pasteurizado, produzido no Paraná, para a presença de reconstituintes, conservantes, neutralizantes e antibióticos e demais parâmetros físico-químicos e microbiológicos determinados pela legislação. Em outro experimento, a capacidade de detecção das provas oficiais para pesquisa de sacarose, cloretos, amido, formaldeído, cloro, hipoclorito, peróxido de hidrogênio e neutralizantes da acidez foi avaliada utilizando-se de amostras adulteradas em laboratório. Foram avaliados adicionalmente testes não oficiais para avaliar a presença de inibidores do crescimento microbiano e o efeito inibidor de algumas substâncias conservantes e neutralizantes sobre a microbiota do leite cru. Os resultados mostraram que das 100 amostras de leite pasteurizado, 51% apresentaram problemas, das quais 25% estavam fora dos padrões nas análises físico-químicas e 10% nas análises microbiológicas, 14% apresentaram resíduos de antibióticos e a adição de reconstituintes foi detectada em 13% das amostras. Observou-se que a avaliação do leite apenas por análises físico-químicas de rotina, como densidade e crioscopia não é suficiente para identificar fraudes por adição de água e reconstituintes. As provas para a pesquisa específica de substâncias reconstituintes apresentaram boa capacidade de detecção, assim como a prova para pesquisa de formaldeído. A adição de sacarose em amostras adulteradas no laboratório elevou a porcentagem de lactose detectada por equipamentos que utilizam infravermelho e ultrassom, demonstrando que estes equipamentos não quantificam especificamente a lactose. Quanto às amostras adicionadas de conservantes e neutralizantes no laboratório, a prova inespecífica da cultura de iogurte foi capaz de detectar a inibição de crescimento nas amostras adicionadas de formaldeído, peróxido de hidrogênio, hipoclorito e hidróxido de sódio, apresentando resultados próximos aos das provas oficiais para a pesquisa dessas substâncias. A adição de formaldeído, peróxido de hidrogênio e hipoclorito promoveu reduções significativas nas contagens de micro-organismos aeróbios mesófilos no leite cru adulterado no laboratório. o entanto, não foi possível detectar peróxido de hidrogênio e compostos clorados após 24 horas de refrigeração, provavelmente em consequência da degradação e /ou inativação dessas substâncias no leite. A prova para a pesquisa de neutralizantes da acidez detecta a substância apenas quando a alcalinização é excessiva. A neutralização equilibrada do ácido lático resulta na anulação da capacidade de detecção da prova. A pesquisa de inibidores microbianos, neutralizantes e reconstituintes é obrigatória apenas para leite cru, porém, a presença de grande parcela de amostras positivas para reconstituintes e antimicrobianos no leite pasteurizado demonstra falhas no controle de qualidade e pode indicar a prática de adulteração do leite também pela indústria. / Milk is one of the major targets for fraud. The most frequent are addition of water, restoratives, preservatives and neutralizers. Although legislation determines the daily survey of these substances by specific tests, milk evaluation by industries is usually performed only by generic physicochemical tests as density and freezing point. However, these adulterations are often calculated to prevent their identification by these routine non specific tests. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of fraud, antibiotic residues and irregularities in physico-chemical and microbiological parameters in pasteurized milk produced in northern Paraná, as well as to evaluate the ability of adulteration detection by official tests to identify the addition of restoratives, preservatives and neutralizers in milk. An assessement was performed in 100 pasteurized milk samples to evaluate the presence of restoratives, preservatives, antibiotics and neutralizers and other physico-chemical and microbiological tests determined by legislation. In a second experiment, the detection ability of official tests for the research of sucrose, chloride, starch, formaldehyde, chlorine, hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide and neutralizers was evaluated using samples adultered in laboratory. Additionally, unofficial tests to evaluate the presence of inhibitors of microbial growth and the inhibitory effect of some preservative and neutralizers substances on the biota of raw milk were performed. Results show that of the 100 samples of pasteurized milk evaluated, 51% had problems, from which 25% were outside parameters for physicochemical analyzes, 10% for microbiological analyzes, 14% were positive for the presence of antibiotic and in 13% adulteration by restoratives were detected. It was observed that milk evaluation only by physico-chemical routine analyzes, such as density and cryoscopy is not sufficient to identify fraud by water and restoratives addition. Specific tets for restoratives detection exhibit good detection potentials, as well as the test for formaldehyde. . The addition of sugar altered quantification of lactose detected by equipments tha use infrared and ultrasound, demonstrating that these do not detect lactose exclusively. Regarding samples added with preservatives and neutralizers substances in laboratory, the yogurt culture test was able to detect microbial grouth inhibition in samples added with formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide. Presenting resluts similar to the official tests. The addition of formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite promoted significant reductions in the counts of mesophilic aerobic micro-organisms in raw milk adulterated in laboratory. However it was not possible to detect hydrogen peroxide and clhorated compounds after 24 hours of refrigeration, maybe due to its rapid degradation and / or inactivation of these substances in milk. Neutralizing substances detection can only dectect this substances when alcalinization is excessive. The balanced neutralization of latic acid results on the anulment of detection ability of the test. The research of preservatives, neutralizers and restoratives is not required for pasteurized milk, only for raw milk. The presence of large numbers of samples positive for these substances demonstrates flaws in quality control of raw milk or occurrence of milk adulteration by the industry itself.

Qualidade ambiental da sub-bacia do Baixo Taquari influenciada por sítio contaminado em processo de remediação

Gameiro, Paula Hauber January 2015 (has links)
A contaminação do solo é uma das fontes pela qual os contaminantes são escoados para os ecossistemas aquáticos, afetando a qualidade dos sedimentos. Neste compartimento alguns compostos são capazes de bioacumular e interferir nos fluxos de energia e de nutrientes da cadeia biológica, gerando efeitos agudos, crônicos e genotóxicos para as comunidades que vivem ou entram em contato com este local. A região de estudo está localizada em área às margens do rio Taquari, no município de Triunfo, RS, próxima a um sítio com solo contaminado por preservantes de madeira, com passivo ambiental identificado (creosoto, pentaclorofenol e a hidrossal CCA). Esta área foi submetida à primeira fase do processo de intervenção para retirada das principais fontes ativas. Em estudos anteriores foi definido o provável escoamento de contaminantes para o rio a partir do solo contaminado. Para avaliar a qualidade dos sedimentos, nas diferentes fases de intervenção da área, foi utilizado o ensaio Salmonella/microssoma, para avaliar mutagênese, além da dosagem de HPAs nos extratos orgânicos de sedimentos. Foram testados quatro áreas de coleta, identificadas pela distância em Km a partir da foz, abrangendo local a montante do sítio, Ta032, em frente, Ta010, e a jusante, Ta006 e Ta004. As coletas foram nas fases, antes (inverno e verão), durante (verão) e após (verão) o processo de intervenção. A mutagênese foi avaliada através de linhagens que medem erro no quadro de leitura (TA98 e Ta97a) e substituição de pares de bases (TA100), na presença e ausência de S9mix (±S9) em extratos de compostos moderadamente polares de sedimento. Os resultados indicaram presença de pró-mutágenos em todas as amostragens na área Ta010, sendo mais elevada na anterior à intervenção (verão) para TA100+S9 (1672 rev/g) decrescendo durante e após este processo. Foram também observados valores constantes de HPAs totais e presença das espécies com potencial cancerígeno nos diferentes períodos avaliados. O local Ta006, após a intervenção, foi o que mostrou mutagênese mais alta (764 rev/g), sendo que as espécies consideradas cancerígenas foram detectadas em maiores concentrações, em especial o benzo(b+k) fluoranteno, que também esteve elevado, neste período, em Ta004. Presença de mutagênese e HPAs em arroio interno ao sítio, a montante de Ta010, marcaram uma das rotas de dispersão dos contaminantes. A presença de contaminação em frente ao sítio, após a intervenção, pode estar relacionada com a técnica escolhida para retirada das fontes ativas, contribuindo na presença de contaminantes a jusante deste rio, Ta006 e Ta004. / Soil contamination is one fo the sources of contaminant runoff into acquatic system, affecting sediment quality. In this compartment some compounds can bioaccumulate and interfere in the energy and nutrient flux of the biological chain with acute, chronic and genotoxic effects on the communities who live there or have contact with this place. The region studied is located on the area on the banks of Taquari river, in the municipality of Triunfo, RS, close to a site with soil contaminated by wood preservatives and identified environmental liabilities (creosote, pentachlorophenol and hydrosalt CCA). This area was submitted to the first stage of the intervention process to remove the main active sources. Previous studies defined the probable runoff of contaminants into river from contaminated soil. In order to evaluate the sediment quality in the different phases of intervention in the area, the Salmonella/microsome assay was used to evaluate mutagenesis, besides the dosage of PAHs in the sediment organic extracts. Four collection areas were tested, identified by the distance in km from the mouth, covering a location upstream from the site, Ta032, in front, Ta010, and downstream, Ta006 and 004. The collections were performed in the phases, before (winter and summer), during (summer) and after (summer) the intervention process. Mutagenesis was evaluated using frameshift (TA98 and Ta97a) and base pair substitution (TA100) strains in the presence and absence of S9mix (±S9), in extracts of moderately polar sediment compounds. The results indicate the presence of promutagens in all samplings in the Ta010 area, and it is higher before the intervention (summer) for TA100+S9 (1672 rev/g) decreasing during and after this process. Constant values of total PAHs and presence of species with a carcinogenic potential were also observed in the different periods evaluated. Site Ta006, after intervention, showed the highest mutagenesis (764 rev/g), and the species considered carcinogenic were detected at higher concentrations, especially benzo(b+k) fluoranthene, which was also high during this period at Ta004. The presence of mutagenesis and PAHs in a stream inside the site, upstream from Ta010 marks one of the contaminant dispersion routes. The presence of contamination in front of the site after intervention may be related to the technique chosen to remove the active sources, contributing to the presence of contaminants downstream of this river, Ta006 and Ta004.
