Evaluating the Application of Portable Handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Scanner for Determining Seafood Provenance: A Case Study on Penaeus monodon. Foods 2023; 12:2874. [PMID: 37569144 PMCID: PMC10417198 DOI: 10.3390/foods12152874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Seafood elemental profiling (SEP) is the quantification of a range of elements in seafood products and may serve in addressing questions of seafood provenance and quality. Traditional methods for analyzing soft tissue present several limitations for the industry-level use of SEP. Portable handheld X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) analysis is a promising alternative to conventional methods; however, its application for biological analysis has not been fully established. Intact giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) abdomens were analyzed with a Vanta M series XRF portable analyzer following a novel soft tissue protocol. Exploratory statistics (principal component analysis, nonmetric multidimensional scaling, and canonical discriminant analysis), as well as random forest models, have been implemented with pXRF profiles, yielding 81% accuracy when assigning the geographical origin of P. monodon. The results of this study highlight that SEP via pXRF is a viable industry-level analysis, and its application will depend on improved instrument calibration to account for fluctuating wetness factors that are influenced by cooking, storage, and other pre- and post-harvest treatments.

Foods 2023; 12:foods12081653. [PMID: 37107446 PMCID: PMC10137893 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 04/12/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Although cooked diets are the primary sources for humans to absorb trace elements, there is limited data available on the concentrations and bioaccessibility of trace elements in cooked food ingredients. This work aims to evaluate the effects of culinary procedures on the concentrations and bioaccessibility of trace elements in common food ingredients. Twelve food species from the local market were treated with four culinary procedures (boiling, steaming, baking, and frying), then the bioaccessibility of copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and arsenic (As) were evaluated using the in vitro digestion method. The subcellular distribution of these elements was also determined using the sequential fractionation method. The results show that culinary procedures decreased the retention rate of As during cooking (100% for raw and 65-89% for cooked ingredients) and the bioaccessibility of Cu and Zn during digestion (nearly 75% for raw and 49-65% for cooked ingredients), resulting in a reduction of the total bioaccessible fraction (TBF) of Cu, Zn, and As in food ingredients. The TBF of Cu, Zn, and As in all tested food ingredients followed the order: raw (76-80%) > steaming and baking (50-62%) > boiling and frying (41-50%). The effects of culinary procedures were associated with the subcellular distribution of trace elements. As was dominantly distributed in heat-stable proteins (51-71%), which were more likely to be lost during cooking. In comparison, Cu and Zn were mainly bound to the insoluble fraction and heat-denatured proteins (60-89% and 61-94% for Cu and Zn, respectively), which become less digestible in cooked ingredients. In conclusion, these results suggest that culinary procedures reduce the absorption of Cu, Zn, and As in various food ingredients, which should be considered in the coming studies related to nutrition and risk assessment of trace elements.

Mineral Content (Essential and Toxic Elements) of Squid Flesh Is Affected by Maceration with Sodium Salts and Vacuum-Cooking. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223688. [PMID: 36429280 PMCID: PMC9689938 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223688] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Maceration with sodium salts is applied to irmprove water holding capacity in squid-based products. The aim of this work was to determine how the mineral content of squid flesh is affected by maceration and further vacuum-cooking. Atlantic squids (Loligo vulgaris) from two fisheries (FAO areas No. 47 and 34) were sampled. Macrominerals (g/100 g) present in raw flesh were Na, Mg, P, S, K and Ca, while microminerals accounting for >1 mg/kg were Zn, Si, Sr, Fe, Cu, Al and Mn. As a result of maceration (3 + 1.5% w: w NaCl+ Na citrate) and vacuum-cooking (at 65 °C for 20 min), some squid minerals was removed. The levels of Cd and As were reduced by half, while Na content increased from 0.28 to 0.49 g/100 g. Maceration with sodium salts generally led to minerals leaching (except for Na) with the medium. Further cooking produced additional losses of most of the minerals present in macerated squid (except Pb and Cd). Squid microminerals were hardly removed with the cooking juice. The consumption of macerated-cooked squid covered > 10% of the recommended dietary intake for Na, P, Zn, Mg and Mn, while health risks were almost negligible and mainly concerned Cd (up to 14% of the probable tolerable weekly intake). The combination of both treatments involves certain loss of most of the essential minerals but also contributes to reducing toxicological risks related to mineral intake through squid products.

Abstract
This study used the sexually mature Chinese mitten crabs as the research object, and the total arsenic and six major species were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). The influence of three common cooking methods on the forms of arsenic and content in different edible parts of crabs were explored. Furthermore, the bioavailability of arsenic and its different forms in the crabs were studied by in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. Based on the risk assessment of arsenic in gastrointestinal digestion, the results showed that the Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) of arsenic was less than 1, which did not pose a significant health risk, but the risk of carcinogenesis of arsenic can not be ignored. Considering the effects of cooking and gastrointestinal digestion into account, a more realistic estimate of the risk associated with the consumption of Chinese mitten crabs can be deciphered.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates that chronic low-dose arsenic (As) exposure can pose adverse health effects to children. This study aimed to systematically study the exposure risk induced by As ingestion in children living in Hubei Province, central China. The feasibility of first morning spot urine instead of 24-h urine as an environmental exposure biomarker was also explored. A total of 120 children aged 2-17 years were recruited from an urban area for the collection of biomarker samples (first morning and 24-h urine samples), environmental exposure samples (duplicate diets, drinking water, and soil), and related child-specific exposure factors. The external exposure risk, internal exposure level, and source of exposure to As in children were analyzed. The results indicated that As concentration in duplicated diets, water, and soil were 29.2 μg kg-1, 1.3 μg L-1, and 9.3 mg kg-1, respectively; these were all below the corresponding maximum allowable levels in China (the threshold value of As in most food, drinking water and soil are 0.5 mg⸱kg-1, 0.01 mg L-1, and 20 mg⸱kg-1, respectively). Dietary intake was the predominant exposure route, accounting for 90% of the total daily dose. The combined oral non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks all exceeded the corresponding maximum acceptable risk level. Therefore, As bioavailability should be investigated and used in health risk assessment. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that urinary As was positively associated with dietary As, with a one-unit increase in daily As intake from the diet associating with 4.82 and 5.21 μg g-1 increases in 24-h urine and first morning urine, respectively. Furthermore, significant correlations with 24-h urine and external exposure metrics suggested that creatine-adjusted As concentrations in first morning urine could be an appropriate substitute of 24-h urine as exposure biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Arsenic hydrocarbons, major arsenolipids occurring naturally in marine fish, have substantial cytotoxicity leading to human health-related studies of their distribution and abundance in foods. These studies have all investigated fresh foods; because most fish are cooked before being consumed, it is both food- and health-relevant to determine the arsenolipids present in cooked fish. METHODS We used HPLC/mass spectrometry to investigate the arsenolipids present in salmon (Salmo salar) before and after cooking by either baking or steaming. RESULTS In raw salmon (total As 2.74 mg kg-1 dry mass, of which 6% was lipid-soluble), major arsenolipids were three arsenic hydrocarbons (oxo-AsHC 332, oxo-AsHC 360, and oxo-AsHC 404, ca 55% of total arsenolipids) and a band of unidentified less-polar arsenolipids (ca 40%), trace amounts of another four arsenic hydrocarbons and two thioxo analogs were also detected. During the cooking process, 28% of the oxo-AsHCs were converted to their thioxo analogs. CONCLUSION Our study shows that arsenic hydrocarbons naturally present in fresh fish are partly converted to their thioxo analogs during cooking by either baking or steaming. The greater lipophilicity of the thioxo analogs could alter the mode of toxicity of arsenic hydrocarbons, and hence future food regulations for arsenic should consider the influence of cooking on the precise type of arsenolipid in fish.

Abstract
Seafood is an important source of arsenic (As) exposure for humans. In this study, 34 seafood samples (fishes, shellfishes, and seaweeds) collected from different markets in China were analysed for total and speciated As before and after boiling. Furthermore, the As bioaccessibility was also assessed using a physiologically based extraction test combined with the Simulator of Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystems. The results showed that the total As (tAs) contents of seaweeds (raw: 44.12; boiled: 31.13, μg·g-1 dw) were higher than those of shellfishes (raw: 8.34; boiled: 5.14, μg·g-1 dw) and fishes (raw: 6.01; boiled: 3.25, μg·g-1 dw). Boiling significantly decreased the As content by 22.24% for seaweeds, 32.27% for shellfishes, and 41.42% in fishes, respectively (p < 0.05). During in vitro digestion, the bioaccessibility of tAs and arsenobetaine (AsB) significantly varied between the investigated species of seafood samples in gastric (G) and small intestinal phases (I) (p < 0.05). Higher tAs bioaccessibility (G: 68.6%, I: 81.9%) were obtained in fishes than shellfishes (G: 40.9%, I: 52.5%) and seaweeds (G: 31%, I: 53.6%). However, there was no significant differences in colonic phase (C) (p > 0.05). With the effect of gut microbiota, arsenate (AsⅤ) was transformed into monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and arsenite (AsⅢ) in C. Moreover, as for seaweeds, an unknown As compound was produced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Seafood present important advantages for human nutrition, but it can also accumulate high levels of toxic and potentially toxic elements. Culinary treatments could influence seafood chemical element content and element bioavailability. In this study, the influence of culinary treatments on the total concentration and on the bioavailability of Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb in shark, shrimp, squid, oyster, and scallop was assessed. METHODS Boiling, frying, and sautéing with or without seasonings (salt, lemon juice and garlic) were evaluated. Total concentration and bioavailability of Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb in seafood after all these culinary treatments were compared with those in uncooked samples. Analytes were determined by triple-quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS). An alternative to express the results avoiding underestimated or overestimated values was proposed. RESULTS The analytes concentration in seafood without culinary treatment varied from 0.0030 μg g-1 (shrimp) to 0.338 μg g-1 (oyster) for Cd; 0.010 μg g-1 (squid) to 0.036 μg g-1 (oyster) for Cr; 0.088 μg g-1 (scallop) to 8.63 μg g-1 (oyster) for Cu, and < 0.005 μg g-1 (shrimp, squid and oyster) to 0.020 μg g-1 (shark) for Pb. Only Cd (in scallop) was influenced by culinary treatments (reduction from 37 to 53 % after boiling, frying, and sautéing). Bioavailability percentage varied from 11% (oyster) for Cd; 18% (oyster) to 41% (shark) for Cr; 6% (shark) for Cu, and 8% (oyster) for Pb. Bioavailability percentage was not influenced by culinary treatments. CONCLUSION Cadmium concentration was reduced in scallop after some culinary treatments (reduction o 37-53% after boiling, frying, and sautéing), but bioavailability percentage was not influenced. The employed analytical method was adequate for the purpose, presenting import results for food safety assessment about the influence of culinary treatments on metals concentration and bioavailability in seafood.

Abstract
Metallic contamination in seafood, especially fish, has been of increasing concern to human health. Moreover, with increasing dependency on farmed fish for fish resources, the metallic contamination in them is still questionable. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cooking (steaming) on heavy metal concentration in farmed fish and to estimate its potential human health risk. Farmed sea basses (Lates calcarifer) from Setiu Lagoon were used to study the difference in metal uptake through human consumption of raw and cooked (steamed) fish samples. Selected heavy metals, namely copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb), were measured using ICP-MS following Teflon bomb closed digestion of the fish samples. Cooking of the fish muscle by steaming was applied to investigate if cooking changes the concentration of heavy metals. Mercury and As were found accumulated more notably in the fish muscle, though only Hg was found to show significant (p > 0.05) increase when L. calcarifer is cooked. The amount of As in the fish muscle throughout its growth can be potentially harmful to humans, with the highest averaged concentration at 3.29 ± 0.65 mg/kg dw. above the standard set by the Malaysian Food Regulation (1985) of >1 mg/kg. All the other heavy metals were at relatively safe concentrations well below the standard set by both national and international guidelines. The PTWI per individual of L. calcarifer for As was at 0.84 mg/kg bw., which indicated that the amount of this fish safe for consumption without any adverse effect is 170 g/week. Therefore, long-term intake of these fish may pose a risk to human health due to the relatively higher Hg and As concentration found in these fishes.

Assessing South American Guadua chacoensis bamboo biochar and Fe 3O 4 nanoparticle dispersed analogues for aqueous arsenic(V) remediation. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 706:135943. [PMID: 31862592 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.135943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2019] [Revised: 11/29/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Discarded bamboo culms of Guadua chacoensis were used for biochar remediation of aqueous As(V). Raw biochar (BC), activated biochar (BCA), raw Fe3O4 nanoparticle-covered biochar (BC-Fe), and activated biochar covered with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (BCA-Fe) were prepared, characterized and tested for As(V) aqueous adsorption. The goal is to develop an economic, viable, and sustainable adsorbent to provide safe arsenic-free water. Adsorbents were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive analysis by X-ray (SEM-EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (TEM-EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements (SBET), point of zero charge determinations (PZC), and elemental analysis. Activation with KOH increased the O/C ratio and the surface area of BC from 6.7 m2/g to 1239.7 m2/g (BCA). As(V) sorption equilibrium was achieved within <2 h for all four adsorbents and kinetics followed the pseudo-second-order model. At a 10 mg/L initial As(V) concentration, BC-Fe achieved a 100% removal (5 mg/g) over a pH 5 to 9 window. Sorption was endothermic on all four adsorbents and the capacities rose with the increasing temperature. Langmuir capacities at 40 °C for BC, BCA, BC-Fe, and BCA-Fe were 256, 217, 457, and 868 mg/g, respectively, and capacities were compared with other sorbents. Breakthrough fixed-bed column sorption was carried out for BC and BC-Fe producing 6.6 mg/g and 13.9 mg/g bed capacities, respectively. Potassium phosphate was a better As stripping agent than sodium bicarbonate. Performance of the adsorbents in an As(V)-spiked natural water and a naturally As(V)-contaminated domestic water were assessed. Robust arsenate sequestration occurred generating As-safe water (As <0.01 mg/L), despite the presence of competing ions. Stoichiometric precipitation of iron-arsenate complexes triggered by iron dissolution was also established.

Abstract
High arsenic (As) concentrations are found in marine clams, usually as less-toxic arsenobetaine (AsB). However, when clams were exposed to elevated As concentrations in the environments, As species distribution within them may be altered. This study aimed to determine As bioaccumulation and biotransformation in marine clams (Asaphis violascens) along As concentration gradients for 10 days. Nine treatments of dissolved As exposure [control, 1, 3 (low), 10, 20 (high) mg/L As(III) and As(V)] were performed. Clams could biotransform low-levels of inorganic As efficiently, while they had lower biotransformation efficiencies when exposed to high As concentrations. AsB decreased with increasing As(III) and As(V) concentrations, while dimethylarsinic acid exhibited as a predominant As species in 3 mg/L exposure treatments. These results suggested that As methylation, synthesis and/or degradation of AsB should be affected by exposure concentrations. Therefore, these toxic As species within clams may cause a potential toxicological hazard to human beings.

Abstract
The anthropogenic contamination of water bodies with metals via fertilizer, industrial sewage and urban wastewater has resulted in widespread problems in aquatic organisms, but also poses a risk to consumer health. Shellfish from coastal and estuarine environments bioaccumulate toxic metals in their tissues due to their ability to concentrate inorganic contaminants several orders of magnitude above ambient levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of trace elements in adult specimens of indigenous clams (Ruditapes decussatus). To this end, wild clams were collected from four different brackish areas of Sardinia (Western Mediterranean Sea, Italy) devoted to extensive aquacultural practices. The concentration of 16 trace elements (Al, Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sn, Tl and Zn) in the tissues of the clams was quantified. The legal limits set by European Regulations for cadmium; mercury and lead were never exceeded. However, unexpectedly high values for aluminium and iron (mean 207 mg kg⁻1 and 113 mg kg⁻1 wet weight) were found in Santa Gilla lagoon, which is close to industrial settlements and had the highest values for the majority of chemical elements investigated. The highest values of the metalloid arsenic (As) were reported in the Porto Pozzo and San Teodoro lagoons (9.6 and 6.8 mg kg⁻1 w.w., respectively). The clam R. decussatus confirmed the capacity of bivalves as suitable bioindicators of trace elements pollution. Further investigations are necessary for constant monitoring of clams, 32 which constitute an important traditional resource for the fishing activity in Sardinia.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2018; 242:73-81.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for animals and humans with a relatively narrow margin between nutritional essentiality and potential toxicity. Even though our previous studies have demonstrated algae could efficiently remove Se, mainly through volatilization, concern is raised about eco-risks posed by the remaining Se in algae. Here, Sinanodonta woodiana was investigated as a biofilter for the removal of Se-containing Chlorella vulgaris and for its potential risk to human health. Our results suggest filtration rates of S. woodiana were independent of Se levels in algal biomass, with a removal efficiency of between 60 and 78%. However, Se concentrations accumulated in mussels were significantly correlated with algal-borne Se levels, with a dietary assimilation efficiency ranging from 12% to 46%. Thus, a pilot biofiltration system was set up to assess uptake and depuration processes. The system was found to efficiently remove Se laden algae through the uptake by mussels, while 21% of Se in mussels could be depurated in 6 days. Among tissues, gills accumulated the highest Se concentration after assimilating algal-borne Se but shed Se compounds in the fastest pace during depuration. Health risks posed by consumption of mussels exposed to different sources of Se were further assessed. S. woodiana accumulated the highest Se concentration after exposure to waterborne SeMet, followed by dietary Se, selenite and control. The relatively higher Se levels were found in gills for all the treatments. After boiling, the most common method of cooking mussels, the greatest reduction in Se concentration occurred in mantle for the control and dietary Se groups and in muscle for the SeMet and selenite treatments. Therefore, within the safe limits, Se-containing mussels can be consumed as a dietary supplement. Overall, our research suggests incorporation of mussels into an algal treatment system can improve Se removal efficiency and also provide financial incentives for practitioners.

Abstract
Shellfish is a common part of indigenous cuisines throughout the world and one of the major sources of human exposure to arsenic (As). We evaluated As speciation in shellfish after cooking and gastrointestinal digestion in this study. Results showed that washing and cooking (boiling and steaming) can reduce As exposures from shellfish. The use of spices during cooking processes also helped to reduce the bioaccessibility of total As. Through mass balance calculations, we verified the transformation of methylated As compounds into inorganic As in shellfish takes place during cooking and that As demethylation can occur during simulated gastrointestinal digestion. In vivo demethylation of As after gastrointestinal digestion was also demonstrated in laboratory mice. This increase in inorganic As during digestion suggests that risks of As toxicity from shellfish consumption are being underestimated. Further studies on the mechanisms of As speciation transformation in food are necessary for more thorough risk assessments.

Abstract
Exposure to heavy metals such as arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) in either the short or the long term can cause cancers in humans. Dietary intake and consumption of rice (Oryza sativa L.) is increasing in Iran, and several studies on the concentration of heavy metals in rice have been carried out in this country in recent years. In this perspective, the main objective of the present study was to investigate, even via a meta-analysis of the existing literature, the presence of As and Pb in rice from many geographical areas in Iran, as well as to estimate the carcinogenic risk of these heavy metals in rice consumers. The results of the present ten years-spanning systematic review indicate that 21 reports, collecting a total of 2088 samples, were performed between 2008 and October 2017. The minimum and maximum concentration of As was observed in the Golestan area (0.01 ± 0.01 mg/kg d.w) and the Gillan region (3 mg/kg d.w); and Pb in the Shahrekord (0.07 ± 0.02 mg/kg d.w) and Mazandaran (35 mg/kg d.w). The meta-analysis of data showed that pooled concentration of As in the rice was 0.04 (95%CI: 0.02-0.06 mg/kg d.w), which resulted lower than the National Standard (NS) limits. However, the pooled concentration of Pb in the rice was 0.38 (95%CI: 0.25-0.5 mg/kg d.w), i.e., higher than NS limits. The heterogeneity was significant between As (I2 = 63%, P value = .003) and Pb (I2 = 96%, P value < .001) studies. The carcinogenic risk assessment showed that minimum and maximum incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) of As was in the 45-54 (4.53 × 10-2) and 15-24 (5.50 × 10-2) year age groups consumers; and Pb, 45-54 (2.442 × 10-3) and 15-24 (2.96 × 10-3), respectively. The overall carcinogenesis risk of As (4.864 × 10-2) was 18.5 times higher than Pb (2.623 × 10-3). All age groups consumers of rice content of As and Pb are at considerable carcinogenesis risk (ILCR > 10-3). Therefore a decreased level of heavy metals in rice cultivation should be encouraged and performed in next planning.

Abstract
In this study the concentration of total arsenic (As) and arsenic species (inorganic As, arsenobetaine, dimethylarsinate, and methylarsonate) was monitored in different foodstuffs (rice, vegetables, algae, fish, crustacean, molluscs) before and after preparation using common kitchen practices. By measuring the water content of the foodstuff and by reporting arsenic concentrations on a dry weight base, we were able to distinguish between As release effects due to food preparation and As decrease due to changes in moisture content upon food preparation. Arsenic species were released to the broth during boiling, steaming, frying, or soaking of the food. Concentrations declined with maxima of 57% for total arsenic, 65% for inorganic As, and 32% for arsenobetaine. On the basis of a combination of our own results and literature data, we conclude that the extent of this release of arsenic species is species specific, with inorganic arsenic species being released most easily, followed by the small organic As species and the large organic As species.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2017; 579:1228-1239. [PMID: 27914647 PMCID: PMC5207036 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.11.108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 159] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2016] [Revised: 11/07/2016] [Accepted: 11/17/2016] [Indexed: 04/15/2023]
Abstract
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is ubiquitous in the environment as arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV) compounds and biotransformation of these toxic chemicals leads to the extraordinary variety of organoarsenic species found in nature. Despite classification as a human carcinogen based on data from populations exposed through contaminated drinking water, only recently has a need for regulatory limits on iAs in food been recognized. The delay was due to the difficulty in risk assessment of dietary iAs, which critically relies on speciation analysis providing occurrence data for iAs in food - and not simply for total arsenic. In the present review the state of knowledge regarding arsenic speciation in food and diet is evaluated with focus on iAs and human exposure assessment through different dietary approaches including duplicate diet studies, market basket surveys, and total diet studies. The analytical requirements for obtaining reliable data for iAs in food are discussed and iAs levels in foods and beverages are summarized, along with information on other (potentially) toxic co-occurring organoarsenic compounds. Quantitative exposure assessment of iAs in food is addressed, focusing on the need of capturing variability and extent of exposure and identifying what dietary items drive very high exposure for certain population groups. Finally, gaps and uncertainties are discussed, including effect of processing and cooking, and iAs bioavailability.

Abstract
The risk of Hg poisoning by eating seafood is considered real from the several international agencies that recommended, by fish consumption advisories, to pregnant women and young children to avoid or severely limit the consumption of the fish and shellfish with a high-range mercury levels. The analyses of two common species, European hake and Norway lobster, collected from an area of Central Adriatic Sea, reported high mercury levels in crustaceans. For Norway lobster total mercury exceeded, in six out of ten analysed pools, the recommended 0.5mg/kg wet weight European limit. Moreover the increased amount of Hg concentrations in Norway lobster cooked samples suggests the necessity to review current procedures of Hg control in food, considering also consumption habits of consumers. The Hg values found in all European hake samples are below the legal limits and, in this species, the boiling did not modify the concentrations in fish tissues.

Abstract
Geogenic arsenic (As) contamination of groundwater is a major ecological and human health problem in southwestern and northeastern coastal areas of Taiwan. Here, we present a probabilistic framework for assessing the human health risks from consuming raw and cooked fish that were cultured in groundwater As-contaminated ponds in Taiwan by linking a physiologically based pharmacokinetics model and a Weibull dose-response model. Results indicate that As levels in baked, fried, and grilled fish were higher than those of raw fish. Frying resulted in the greatest increase in As concentration, followed by grilling, with baking affecting the As concentration the least. Simulation results show that, following consumption of baked As-contaminated fish, the health risk to humans is <10(-6) excess bladder cancer risk level for lifetime exposure; as the incidence ratios of liver and lung cancers are generally acceptable at risk ranging from 10(-6) to 10(-4), the consumption of baked As-contaminated fish is unlikely to pose a significant risk to human health. However, contaminated fish cooked by frying resulted in significant health risks, showing the highest cumulative incidence ratios of liver cancer. We also show that males have higher cumulative incidence ratio of liver cancer than females. We found that although cooking resulted in an increase for As levels in As-contaminated fish, the risk to human health of consuming baked fish is nevertheless acceptable. We suggest the adoption of baking as a cooking method and warn against frying As-contaminated fish. We conclude that the concentration of contaminants after cooking should be taken into consideration when assessing the risk to human health.

Abstract
Bioaccessibility represents the maximum amount of pollutant ingested with food that is available for intestinal absorption. The measurement of bioaccessibility can achieve a more accurate risk assessment. Thus, in this study, the bioaccessibility of raw/microwave-cooked store-bought food including carrot, potato, white radish, lotus root, sweet corn, long grain rice, soybean, fleshy prawn, eastern oyster, kelp, and common carp were investigated by applying an in vitro digestion method. A validated microwave digestion/ICP-MS method was applied for determining the concentration of Cd. In this study, the concentration of Cd ranged 3.7-215.8 μg/kg fw in which carrot contained the lowest Cd while the fleshy prawn contained the highest Cd. There are no statistical differences of Cd content in microwave-cooked food and raw food except potato, lotus root, and eastern oyster. Cd in most of the cooked food materials was less bioaccessible than in raw food except sweet corn, potato, and kelp. The bioaccessibility of Cd was around 100 % in either raw or cooked potatoes. Microwave cooking caused the decreasing of bioaccessibility around 0-68 %, depending on different food matrix. Maximal decreasing of Cd bioaccessibility occurred in common carp. Thus, microwave cooking could be a feasible strategy for decreasing Cd bioaccessibility. In addition, the Cd dissolution in oral, gastric, and small intestine phase was different in different food matrix. For most of the investigated food items, Cd was largely migrated either into the oral phase (carrot, potato, white radish, lotus root, raw soybean, kelp, and common carp) or into the gastric phase (sweet corn, cooked soybean, rice, fleshy prawn, and eastern oyster). Our findings will have significant implications for food processing aiming to decrease the absorption of Cd and risk assessment analysis improvements. Further study is needed to use the animal model to validate these results.

Abstract
The distribution of total arsenic in different portions of Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus L., Crustacea) was studied both in fresh samples and after a boiling process. All individuals (n = 80) were selected of medium standard commercial size (13-15 cm). The highest mean concentrations (26.86 ± 1.57 mg/kg wet weight (ww)) were found in the raw brown meat of the crustacean, probably due to its detoxification role, whereas the lowest mean values (15.97 ± 0.85 mg/kg ww) were in the raw exoskeleton. The raw white meat reported mean values of 16.09 ± 0.61 mg/kg ww. The levels of arsenic contamination detected in the boiled portions showed a significant (p < 0.01) decrease compared to the raw portions, as a consequence of solubilization phenomena. In fact, a large amount of arsenic from raw lobsters was transferred to the corresponding boiling broth. In the most commonly consumed portion, the white meat, only slight losses (7.22%) in total arsenic content were observed compared to the raw portion.

Abstract
In order to assess mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and arsenic (As) exposure in the Mediterranean area, total mercury (THg), monomethylmercury (MeHg), Se and As levels were measured in umbilical cord blood and breast milk from Italian (n=900), Slovenian (n=584), Croatian (n=234) and Greek (n=484) women. THg, MeHg, As, and Se levels were also determined in blood samples of the same mothers from Italy and Croatia. In addition, THg and MeHg were determined in the same women's hair from all the countries involved in this study and As and Se levels were determined in the mother's urine samples from Italy, Croatia and Greece. Besides recording the consumption of other food items, the frequencies of fish consumption were assessed by detailed food frequency questionnaires, since fish represents an important source of Hg, Se and As in humans. The highest levels of THg and As were found in cord blood (Med((THg))=5.8 ng/g; Med((As))=3.3 ng/g) and breast milk (Med((THg))=0.6 ng/g; Med((As))=0.8 ng/g) from Greek women, while the highest Se levels were found in cord blood (Med=113 ng/g) from Italy. Significant linear correlations were found between Hg, Se and As in blood, cord blood and breast milk. In addition, significant relations were found between the frequencies of total fish consumption and biomarkers of As, MeHg and Se exposure, with the strongest Spearman rank coefficients between frequencies of total fish consumption and THg levels in cord blood (r(s)=0.442, p<0.001) or THg levels in hair (r(s)=0.421, p<0.001), and between frequencies of total fish consumption and As levels in cord blood (r(s)=0.350, p<0.001). The differences in Hg and As exposure between countries were probably due to different amounts of fish consumption and the consumption of different species of fish of different origin, while the highest Se levels in women from Italy were probably the consequence of the more frequent consumption of different non specific food items. Moreover, fish consumption, the possible common source of As, Hg and Se intake, could explain the correlations between the elements determined in cord blood, mother's blood or breast milk.

Abstract
Many regions of Latin America are widely reported for the occurrence of high arsenic (As) in groundwater and surface water due to a combination of geological processes and/or anthropogenic activities. In this paper, we review the available literature (both in English and Spanish languages) to delineate human As exposure pathways through the food chain. Numerous studies show that As accumulations in edible plants and crops are mainly associated with the presence of high As in soils and irrigation waters. However, factors such as As speciation, type and composition of soil, and plant species have a major control on the amount of As uptake. Areas of high As concentrations in surface water and groundwater show high As accumulations in plants, fish/shellfish, livestock meat, milk and cheese. Such elevated As concentrations in food may result in widespread health risks to local inhabitants, including health of indigenous populations and residents living close to mining industries. Some studies show that As can be transferred from the water to prepared meals, thereby magnifying the As content in the human diet. Arsenic speciation might also change during food preparation, especially during high temperature cooking, such as grilling and frying. Finally, the review of the available literature demonstrates the necessity of more rigorous studies in evaluating pathways of As exposure through the human food chain in Latin America.

Abstract
An acidic solution containing mercury chelating agents to eliminate mercury in raw fish (mackerel) fillet was developed. The solution contained hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, cysteine, EDTA, and NaCl. The optimum conditions for mercury reduction were achieved using response surface methodology (RSM) at cysteine concentration of 1.25%, EDTA of 275 mg/L, NaCl of 0.5%, pH of 3.75, and exposure time of 18 min. The optimized conditions produced a solution which can remove up to 91% mercury from raw fish fillet. Cysteine and EDTA were identified as potential chelating agents with the greatest potential for use. The solution can be employed in fish industries to reduce mercury in highly contaminated fish.

Abstract
The dietary bioaccessibility of seven elements ((241)Am, Cd, Co, Cs, Mn, Se, and Zn) in the Mediterranean mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) was assessed for human consumers. In this respect, we assessed and compared the proportion of elements associated with the cellular cytosolic ("soluble") fraction vs. the bioaccessible fraction derived, respectively, from (1) the differential centrifugation method and (2) the simulated digestion method. Comparisons were carried out on both raw and cooked mussels. Results showed that (1) the centrifugation method systematically underestimated (up to a factor 4) element bioaccessibility in raw mussels compared with the in vitro digestion method (e.g., 10% vs. 42% for (241)Am), and (2) the cooking process (5min at 200 degrees C) leads to concentrating the elements in mussel tissues (e.g., by a factor 2 for Zn) and reducing their bioaccessibility. Overall, the simulated in vitro digestion method appears as a powerful tool for seafood safety assessment and cooking could contribute in reducing substantially the global trace element intake from mussel tissues (up to 65% for Cd and Cs).

Abstract
The effects of cooking processes commonly used by the population of Catalonia (Spain) on total arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) concentrations in various foodstuffs were investigated. All food samples were randomly acquired in local markets, big supermarkets, and grocery stores of Reus (Catalonia). Foods included fish (sardine, hake, and tuna), meat (veal steak, loin of pork, breast and thigh of chicken, and steak and rib of lamb), string bean, potato, rice, and olive oil. For each food item, two composite samples were prepared for metal analyses, whose levels in raw and cooked (fried, grilled, roasted, and boiled) samples were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The highest concentrations of As, Hg, and Pb (raw and cooked samples) were mainly found in fish, with a clear tendency, in general, to increase metal concentrations after cooking. However, in these samples, Cd levels were very close to their detection limit. In turn, the concentrations of metals in raw and cooked meat samples were detected in all samples (As) or only in a very few samples (Cd, Hg, and Pb). A similar finding corresponded to string beans, rice, and olive oil, while in potatoes, Hg could not be detected and Pb only was detected in the raw samples. In summary, the results of the present study show that, in general terms, the cooking process is only of a very limited value as a means of reducing metal concentrations. This hypothetical reduction depends upon cooking conditions (time, temperature, and medium of cooking).
