Gräfenhahn M, Beyrer M. Plant-Based Meat Analogues in the Human Diet: What Are the Hazards? Foods 2024; 13:1541. [PMID: 38790841 PMCID: PMC11121679 DOI: 10.3390/foods13101541] [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: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Research regarding meat analogues is mostly based on formulation and process development. Information concerning their safety, shelf life, and long-term nutritional and health effects is limited. This article reviews the existing literature and analyzes potential hazards introduced or modified throughout the processing chain of plant-based meat analogues via extrusion processing, encompassing nutritional, microbiological, chemical, and allergen aspects. It was found that the nutritional value of plant-based raw materials and proteins extracted thereof increases along the processing chain. However, the nutritional value of plant-based meat analogues is lower than that of e.g., animal-based products. Consequently, higher quantities of these products might be needed to achieve a nutritional profile similar to e.g., meat. This could lead to an increased ingestion of undigestible proteins and dietary fiber. Although dietary fibers are known to have many positive health benefits, they present a hazard since their consumption at high concentrations might lead to gastrointestinal reactions. Even though there is plenty of ongoing research on this topic, it is still not clear how the sole absorption of metabolites derived from plant-based products compared with animal-based products ultimately affects human health. Allergens were identified as a hazard since plant-based proteins can induce an allergic reaction, are known to have cross-reactivities with other allergens and cannot be eliminated during the processing of meat analogues. Microbiological hazards, especially the occurrence of spore- and non-spore-forming bacteria, do not represent a particular case if requirements and regulations are met. Lastly, it was concluded that there are still many unknown variables and open questions regarding potential hazards possibly present in meat analogues, including processing-related compounds such as n-nitrosamines, acrylamide, and heterocyclic aromatic amino acids.

Mass Spectrometry-Based Strategies for Assessing Human Exposure Using Hemoglobin Adductomics. Chem Res Toxicol 2023; 36:2019-2030.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) adducts are widely used in human biomonitoring due to the high abundance of hemoglobin in human blood, its reactivity toward electrophiles, and adducted protein stability for up to 120 days. In the present paper, we compared three methods of analysis of hemoglobin adducts: mass spectrometry of derivatized N-terminal Val adducts, mass spectrometry of N-terminal adducted hemoglobin peptides, and limited proteolysis mass spectrometry . Blood from human donors was incubated with a selection of contact allergens and other electrophiles, after which hemoglobin was isolated and subjected to three analysis methods. We found that the FIRE method was able to detect and reliably quantify N-terminal adducts of acrylamide, acrylic acid, glycidic acid, and 2,3-epoxypropyl phenyl ether (PGE), but it was less efficient for 2-methyleneglutaronitrile (2-MGN) and failed to detect 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB). By contrast, bottom-up proteomics was able to determine the presence of adducts from all six electrophiles at both the N-terminus and reactive hemoglobin side chains. Limited proteolysis mass spectrometry, studied for four contact allergens (three electrophiles and a metal salt), was able to determine the presence of covalent hemoglobin adducts with one of the three electrophiles (DNCB) and coordination complexation with the nickel salt. Together, these approaches represent complementary tools in the study of the hemoglobin adductome.

Abstract
Acrylamide was detected in considerable amounts in black table olives. In this study, besides black, also green and naturally black table olives were investigated for their acrylamide, free asparagine, and 3-aminopropionamide contents before and after heat treatment. Acrylamide amount was 208-773 μg/kg in black table olives and did not change due to heat treatment. In green and naturally black table olives acrylamide was ≤24 μg/kg before heat treatment and rose to 1200 μg/kg afterward. Asparagine content was 0.35-35 mg/kg in all samples before heat treatment and after heat treatment with no considerable change in the range. 3-Aminopropionamide showed amounts of ≤56 μg/kg in the unheated samples and increased up to 131 μg/kg due to heat impact. However, quantified asparagine and 3-aminopropionamide amounts were insufficient in almost all samples to explain the acrylamide quantities formed due to heat treatment based on the formation via the Maillard reaction.

Yeast strains do have an impact on the production of cured cocoa beans, as assessed with Costa Rican Trinitario cocoa fermentation processes and chocolates thereof. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1232323. [PMID: 37621398 PMCID: PMC10445768 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1232323] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The microbiological and metabolic outcomes of good cocoa fermentation practices can be standardized and influenced through the addition of starter culture mixtures composed of yeast and bacterial strains. The present study performed two spontaneous and 10 starter culture-initiated (SCI) cocoa fermentation processes (CFPs) in Costa Rica with local Trinitario cocoa. The yeast strains Saccharomyces cerevisiae IMDO 050523, Hanseniaspora opuntiae IMDO 020003, and Pichia kudriavzevii IMDO 060005 were used to compose starter culture mixtures in combination with the lactic acid bacterium strain Limosilactobacillus fermentum IMDO 0611222 and the acetic acid bacterium strain Acetobacter pasteurianus IMDO 0506386. The microbial community and metabolite dynamics of the cocoa pulp-bean mass fermentation, the metabolite dynamics of the drying cocoa beans, and the volatile organic compound (VOC) profiles of the chocolate production were assessed. An amplicon sequence variant approach based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing instead of targeting the V4 region led to a highly accurate monitoring of the starter culture strains added, in particular the Liml. fermentum IMDO 0611222 strain. The latter strain always prevailed over the background lactic acid bacteria. A similar approach, based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) region of the fungal rRNA transcribed unit, was used for yeast strain monitoring. The SCI CFPs evolved faster when compared to the spontaneous ones. Moreover, the yeast strains applied did have an impact. The presence of S. cerevisiae IMDO 050523 was necessary for successful fermentation of the cocoa pulp-bean mass, which was characterized by the production of higher alcohols and esters. In contrast, the inoculation of H. opuntiae IMDO 020003 as the sole yeast strain led to underfermentation and a poor VOC profile, mainly due to its low competitiveness. The P. kudriavzevii IMDO 060005 strain tested in the present study did not contribute to a richer VOC profile. Although differences in VOCs could be revealed in the cocoa liquors, no significant effect on the final chocolates could be obtained, mainly due to a great impact of cocoa liquor processing during chocolate-making. Hence, optimization of the starter culture mixture and cocoa liquor processing seem to be of pivotal importance.

Abstract
The growing world population, combined with scarcities of agricultural land, water, forest, fisheries, and biodiversity resources, makes it necessary to search for alternative sources of nutrients. For this reason, in recent years, edible insects have been introduced into the diet, even in areas where entomophagy is not traditional. In light of this, the present study aims at characterizing the aromatic profile of three edible insects flours: cricket (Acheta domesticus, CP), buffalo worm (Alphitobius diaperinus, BW), and mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, MW). This goal has been achieved by means of an (HS)-SPME/GC-MS strategy. 67 compounds have been tentatively identified; of these, 27 are present only in the CP and BW flours, while 10 are common in all three flours. The compound with the highest peak's relative area in gas chromatograms of CP and BW flours is hexadecanoic acid, while in MW it is 1-heptylpyrrolidin-2-one. In general, we have observed that CP and BW flours have 37 compounds in common, and their volatile compositions along with their profiles are more similar to each other than to MW profile.

Abstract
Abstract:
Acrylamide is classified as a hazard whose formation in carbohydrate-rich food cooked at a high temperature has created much interest in the scientific community. The review attempts to comprehend the chemistry and mechanisms of formation of acrylamide and its levels in popular foods. A detailed study of the toxicokinetic and biochemistry, carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, genotoxicity, interaction with biomolecules, and its effects on reproductive health has been presented. The review outlines the various novel and low-cost conventional as well as newer analytical techniques for the detection of acrylamide in foods with the maximum permissible limits. Various effective approaches that can be undertaken in industries and households for the mitigation of levels of acrylamide in foods have also been discussed. This review will assist to provide in depth understanding about acrylamide that will make it simpler to assess the risk to human health from the consumption of foods containing low amounts of acrylamide.

Effects of thermal processing on N,N-dimethylpiperidinium (mepiquat) formation in meat and vegetable products. Food Res Int 2021; 150:110771. [PMID: 34865786 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2021] [Revised: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
N,N-dimethylpiperidinium (mepiquat) is an important food contaminant formed from natural ingredients during thermal processing. In this study, mepiquat formation in meat (pork and beef) and vegetables (potatoes and broccoli) was investigated via HPLC-MS/MS; the investigated cooking methods were oven baking, pan cooking, deep frying, and microwaving. The results showed that, among all foods, oven-baked potatoes showed the highest mepiquat level of 1064 μg/kg, which appeared after 20 min at 240 °C. The residual rates of mepiquat precursors, pipecolic acid (PipAc), betaine, choline, and trigonelline, were determined in oven-baked potatoes to investigate their correlation with mepiquat formation. The PipAc levels reduced by 99.8% at 260 °C after 30 min of oven baking, exhibiting a significantly high decomposition rate. Therefore, PipAc could be used as a marker of quality for the detection of mepiquat in thermally processed foodstuffs.

Abstract
N,N-dimethylpiperidinium (mepiquat) is a new process-induced compound formed from natural constituents during the cooking process. Mepiquat was first found in coffee and cereal products, but its formation mechanism in coffee is still unclear. In the current study, Arabica and Robusta coffee beans were roasted at different temperatures (215, 220, and 230 °C) to study the effect of roasting process on mepiquat formation. The highest mepiquat content, 1,020 µg/kg, was found in dark roast (230 °C) Indonesia Wahana, while 430 µg/kg of mepiquat was detected in medium roast (220 °C) Vietnam Robusta. At the same roasting temperature, higher level of mepiquat was observed in Arabica than in Robusta. In both species, substances related to mepiquat formation, including betaine, choline, trigonelline, lysine, carnitine, pipecolic acid (PipAc), pipecolic acid betaine (PipBet), were also detected. The lysine-based Maillard reaction and decarboxylation in Arabica and Robusta promoted mepiquat formation through the degradation of choline and trigonelline, and the formation of intermediate products. Results from both the model system and selected commercial beans showed that choline and trigonelline had a significant correlation (P < 0.01) with mepiquat formation in Arabica. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Mepiquat is considered as a new process-induced compound resulting from typical roasting conditions, but its formation mechanism in coffee is still unclear. This work demonstrates the formation mechanism of mepiquat by many precursor substances contained in Arabica and Robusta. It is very important to figure out how mepiquat is ''naturally" present in daily diets, especially in those processed at high temperatures.

Abstract
Carnitine is demonstrated as an effective methyl donor in the formation of the plant growth regulator N, N-dimethylpiperidinium (mepiquat), encompassing either N-methylation/decarboxylation of pipecolic acid, or Maillard pathways followed by transmethylation reactions. The formation of mepiquat and the intermediate compounds was monitored (180-300 °C, up to 180 min) using HPLC-MS/MS in different binary or ternary model systems composed of (i) lysine/fructose/carnitine, (ii) lysine/glucose/carnitine, or (iii) pipecolic acid (PipAc)/carnitine. The highest yield of mepiquat was 2.4% after 120 min incubation at 290 °C (PipAc/carnitine model system). The highest yield was recorded in fructose and glucose (Maillard) systems after 180 min at 230 °C. The full-scan mode was used to monitor the formation of the corresponding intermediates (piperidine and N-methylpiperidine, the demethylated intermediates of carnitine). The new pathways of mepiquat formation indicate that the occurrence of low levels of this thermally induced compound is potentially more widespread in some selected cooked foodstuffs. For the first time, mepiquat was detected in oven-cooked beef, reaching up to 82.5 μg/kg. These amounts are not expected to significantly contribute to the overall exposure via different foodstuffs, as reported in previous studies.

[PMID: 27046699 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2016.03.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2016] [Revised: 03/22/2016] [Accepted: 03/30/2016] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Electrophilic compounds have the ability to form adducts with nucleophilic sites in proteins and DNA in tissues, and thereby constitute risks for toxic effects. Adductomic approaches are developed for systematic screening of adducts to DNA and blood proteins, with the aim to detect unknown internal exposures to electrophiles. In a previous adductomic screening of adducts to N-terminals in hemoglobin, using LC-MS/MS, 19 unknown adducts were detected in addition to seven previously identified adducts. The present paper describes the identification of four of these unknown adducts, as well as the strategy used to identify them. Using LC-MS data from the screening, hypotheses about adduct identities were formulated: probable precursor electrophiles with matching molecular weights were suggested based on the molecular weights of the modifications and the retention times of the analytes, in combination with comparisons of theoretical Log P calculations and databases. Reference adducts were generated by incubation of blood samples with the hypothesized precursor electrophiles. The four identified precursor electrophiles, corresponding to the observed unknown adducts, were glyoxal, methylglyoxal, acrylic acid and 1-octen-3-one. Possible origins/exposure sources and toxicological information concerning the electrophilic precursors are discussed. The identified adducts could be explored as possible biomarkers for exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acrylamide (AA) is of concern worldwide because of its neurotoxicity, genotoxicity and reproductive/developmental toxicity. Consequently, methods for minimizing AA formation during food processing are vital. RESULTS In this study, the formation and elimination of AA in an asparagine/glucose low-moisture model system were investigated by response surface methodology. The effect of garlic powder on the kinetics of AA formation/elimination was also evaluated. The AA content reached a maximum level (674.0 nmol) with 1.2 mmol of glucose and 1.2 mmol of asparagine after heating at 200 °C for 6 min. The AA content was greatly reduced with the addition of garlic powder. Compared to without garlic powder, an AA reduction rate of 43% was obtained with addition of garlic powder at a mass fraction of 0.05 g. Garlic powder inhibited AA formation during the generation-predominant kinetic stage and had no effect on the degradation-predominant kinetic stage. The effect of garlic powder on AA formation in bread and bread quality was also investigated. Adding a garlic powder mass fraction of 15 g to 500 g of dough significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the formation of AA (reduction rate of 46%) and had no obvious effect on the sensory qualities of the bread. CONCLUSION This study provides a possible method for reducing the AA content in bread and other heat-treated starch-rich foods.

Abstract
Processing contaminants may be defined as substances that are produced in a food when it is cooked or processed, are not present or are present at much lower concentrations in the raw, unprocessed food, and are undesirable either because they have an adverse effect on product quality or because they are potentially harmful. The presence of very low levels of processing contaminants in common foods is becoming an increasingly important issue for the food industry, as developments in analytical techniques and equipment bring foods under closer and closer scrutiny. This review considers the formation of lipid oxidation products, hydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids to prevent lipid oxidation and the associated risk of trans fatty acid formation. The formation of acrylamide in the Maillard reaction is described, as well as the genetic and agronomic approaches being taken to reduce the acrylamide-forming potential of cereal grain. The multiple routes for the formation of furan and associated chemicals, including hydroxymethylfurfuryl, are also described. The evolving regulatory and public perception situations for these processing contaminants and their implications for the cereal supply chain are discussed, emphasising the need for cereal breeders to engage with the contaminants issue.

Abstract
Acrylamide (AA) was firstly detected in food in 2002, and since then, studies on AA analysis, occurrence, formation, toxicity, risk assessment and mitigation have been extensively carried out, which have greatly advanced understanding of this particular biohazard at both academic and industrial levels. There is considerable variation in the levels of AA in different foods and different brands of the same food; therefore, so far, a general upper limit for AA in food is not available. In addition, the link of dietary AA to human cancer is still under debate, although AA has been known as a potential cause of various toxic effects including carcinogenic effects in experimental animals. Furthermore, the oxidized metabolite of AA, glycidamide (GA), is more toxic than AA. Both AA and GA can form adducts with protein, DNA, and hemoglobin, and some of those adducts can serve as biomarkers for AA exposure; their potential roles in the linking of AA to human cancer, reproductive defects or other diseases, however, are unclear. This review addresses the state-of-the-art understanding of AA, focusing on risk assessment, mechanism of formation and strategies of mitigation in foods. The potential application of omics to AA risk assessment is also discussed.

Abstract
The thermal behavior of glutamic acid was investigated in N2 and 4% O2 in N2 under flow reactor conditions at a constant residence time of 0.2 s, within a total pyrolysis time of 3 min at 1 atm. The identification of the main pyrolysis products has been reported. Accordingly, the principal products for pyrolysis in order of decreasing abundance were succinimide, pyrrole, acetonitrile, and 2-pyrrolidone. For oxidative pyrolysis, the main products were succinimide, propiolactone, ethanol, and hydrogen cyanide. Whereas benzene, toluene, and a few low molecular weight hydrocarbons (propene, propane, 1-butene, and 2-butene) were detected during pyrolysis, no polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected. Oxidative pyrolysis yielded low molecular weight hydrocarbon products in trace amounts. The mechanistic channels describing the formation of the major product succinimide have been explored. The detection of succinimide (major product) and maleimide (minor product) from the thermal decomposition of glutamic acid has been reported for the first time in this study. Toxicological implications of some reaction products (HCN, acetonitrile, and acyrolnitrile), which are believed to form during heat treatment of food, tobacco burning, and drug processing, have been discussed in relation to the thermal degradation of glutamic acid.

Abstract
Acrylamide, a chemical that is probably carcinogenic in humans and has neurological and reproductive effects, forms from free asparagine and reducing sugars during high-temperature cooking and processing of common foods. Potato and cereal products are major contributors to dietary exposure to acrylamide and while the food industry reacted rapidly to the discovery of acrylamide in some of the most popular foods, the issue remains a difficult one for many sectors. Efforts to reduce acrylamide formation would be greatly facilitated by the development of crop varieties with lower concentrations of free asparagine and/or reducing sugars, and of best agronomic practice to ensure that concentrations are kept as low as possible. This review describes how acrylamide is formed, the factors affecting free asparagine and sugar concentrations in crop plants, and the sometimes complex relationship between precursor concentration and acrylamide-forming potential. It covers some of the strategies being used to reduce free asparagine and sugar concentrations through genetic modification and other genetic techniques, such as the identification of quantitative trait loci. The link between acrylamide formation, flavour, and colour is discussed, as well as the difficulty of balancing the unknown risk of exposure to acrylamide in the levels that are present in foods with the well-established health benefits of some of the foods concerned.

Abstract
Acrylamide occurs in foods commonly consumed in diets worldwide. It is formed from the reaction of reducing sugars (e.g., glucose or fructose) with the amino acid asparagine via the Maillard reaction, which occurs during heat processing of foods, primarily those derived from plant origin, such as potato and cereal products, above 120°C (248°F). The majority of epidemiological studies concerning potential relationships between acrylamide consumption and different types of cancer have indicated no increased risk, except with a few types that warrant further study. Efforts to reduce the formation of acrylamide in food products have resulted in some successes, but there is no common approach that works for all foods. Reduction in some foods is probably not possible. The results from a major toxicological study (aqueous intake of acrylamide by rats and mice) are in the process of being released. The status of current knowledge in these areas is reviewed.

Abstract
Acrylamide is a synthetic monomer with a wide scope of industrial applications, mainly as a precursor in the production of several polymers, such as polyacrylamide. The main uses of polyacrylamides are in water and wastewater treatment processes, pulp and paper processing, and mining and mineral processing. The announcement by the Swedish National Food Administration in April 2002 of the presence of acrylamide predominantly in heat-treated carbohydrate-rich foods sparked intensive investigations into acrylamide, encompassing the occurrence, chemistry, agricultural practices, and toxicology, in order to establish if there is a potential risk to human health from the presence of this contaminant in the human diet. The link of acrylamide in foods to the Maillard reaction and, in particular, to the amino acid asparagine has been a major step forward in elucidating the first feasible chemical route of formation during the preparation and processing of food. Other probably minor pathways have also been proposed, including acrolein and acrylic acid. This review addresses the analytical and mechanistic aspects of the acrylamide issue and summarizes the progress made to date by the European food industries in these key areas. Essentially, it presents experimental results generated under laboratory model conditions, as well as under actual food processing conditions covering different food categories, such as potatoes, biscuits, cereals, and coffee. Since acrylamide formation is closely linked to food composition, factors such as the presence of sugars and availability of free amino acids are also considered. Many new findings that contribute towards a better understanding of the formation and presence of acrylamide in foods are presented. Many national authorities across the world are assessing the dietary exposure of consumers to acrylamide, and scientific projects have commenced to gather new information about the toxicology of acrylamide. These are expected to provide new scientific knowledge that will help to clarify whether or not there is a risk to human health from the consumption of foods containing low amounts of acrylamide.

Abstract
Acrylamide in food was determined by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after bromination of acrylamide and underivatized acrylamide was quantified by ultra performance liquid chromatography -mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). Two different sample preparation methods were used and optimised. The GC-MS method was used for various food matrices like breads, potato crisps, potato crackers, french fries. The UPLC-MS method was used for analysis of coffee. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for acrylamide were 7 µg.kg-1 and 20 µg.kg-1 by GC-MS, 9 µg.kg-1 and 30 µg.kg-1 by UPLC-MS. For both methods the reproducibility, given as relative standard deviation was < 5% , and the recovery was close to 100 %.

Abstract
Isotope labeling studies performed using lysine/glucose model systems have indicated that lysine can generate piperidine, a reactive amine capable of undergoing Maillard type interactions. Two possible mechanisms were identified for the formation of piperidine: one arising through decarboxylation of lysine alone to generate cadaverine (1,5-diaminopentane) followed by deamination to form pent-4-en-1-amine which in turn can cyclize into piperidine where both Nepsilon and Nalpha atoms of lysine can be equally involved in its generation due to the symmetrical nature of the precursor diamine. On the other hand, in the presence of sugars, lysine, similarly to asparagine and phenylalanine, can undergo carbonyl-assisted decarboxylative deamination reaction to generate pent-4-en-1-amine, the counterpart of acrylamide. The pent-4-en-1-amine can then cyclize to form piperidine through the Nepsilon atom of lysine. To confirm the formation of pent-4-en-1-amine in the lysine/glucose model system, a useful strategy based on Py-GC/MS analysis was developed using isotope labeling technique to identify sugar adducts of pent-4-en-1-amine. Products simultaneously possessing five lysine carbon atoms (C2'-C6') and the Nepsilon-amino group from lysine in addition to glucose carbon atoms were targeted using specifically labeled precursors such as [(15)Nalpha]lysine.2HCl, [(15)Nepsilon]lysine.2HCl, [U-(13)C(6)]lysine.2HCl, [(13)C-6]lysine.2HCl and [U-(13)C(6)]glucose. The complete labeling studies along with structural analysis using synthetic and other available precursors have shown the presence of a peak that satisfies the above criteria, and the peak was tentatively identified as N-(5-methylfuran-2-yl)methylidene]penta-1,3-dien-1-amine incorporating pent-4-en-1-amine in its structure.

Abstract
Acrylamide forms from free asparagine and reducing sugars during cooking, with asparagine concentration being the key parameter determining the formation in foods produced from wheat flour. In this study free amino acid concentrations were measured in the grain of varieties Spark and Rialto and four doubled haploid lines from a Spark x Rialto mapping population. The parental and doubled haploid lines had differing levels of total free amino acids and free asparagine in the grain, with one line consistently being lower than either parent for both of these factors. Sulfur deprivation led to huge increases in the concentrations of free asparagine and glutamine, and canonical variate analysis showed clear separation of the grain samples as a result of treatment (environment, E) and genotype (G) and provided evidence of G x E interactions. Low grain sulfur and high free asparagine concentration were closely associated with increased risk of acrylamide formation. G, E, and G x E effects were also evident in grain from six varieties of wheat grown at field locations around the United Kingdom in 2006 and 2007. The data indicate that progress in reducing the risk of acrylamide formation in processed wheat products could be made immediately through the selection and cultivation of low grain asparagine varieties and that further genetically driven improvements should be achievable. However, genotypes that are selected should also be tested under a range of environmental conditions.

Abstract
Pilot-scale bread, biscuit, and cracker doughs have been baked to assess how well recipe changes could reduce acrylamide in commercial bakery products. Removing ammonium-based raising agents was beneficial in biscuits. In doughs, long yeast fermentations were an effective way of reducing asparagine levels and hence acrylamide. At moderate fermentation times fructose levels increased, but the yeast later absorbed this, so the net effect on acrylamide was beneficial. Metal ions such as calcium reduced acrylamide when added as the carbonate or chloride. Hence, the fortification of flour with calcium carbonate, over and above its natural mineral content, has an additional benefit. However, some other possible methods of adding calcium to bakery doughs, for example, via the permitted preservative calcium propionate, were not beneficial. Amino acid addition to doughs gave modest reductions in acrylamide. Lowering the dough pH reduced acrylamide, but at the expense of higher levels of other process contaminants such as 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD).

Abstract
The efficiency of antioxidant from bamboo leaves on the reduction of acrylamide during thermal processing and optimization of levels of addition of antioxidant from bamboo leaves applied to fried chicken wings are reported. The authors optimized the method of the addition of antioxidant from bamboo leaves to fried chicken wings and the frying processing parameters, and also compared the relationship between the content of total flavonoids in three extracts (EBL(971), EBL(972) and antioxidant from bamboo leaves) and the extent of the reduction of acrylamide. The acrylamide levels were quantified by a validated liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry detection method and the sensory evaluation was performed in a double-blind manner. The results showed that nearly 57.8 and 59.0% of acrylamide in fried chicken wings were reduced when the antioxidant from bamboo leaves addition ratios were 0.1 and 0.5% (w/w), respectively. The maximum inhibitory rate was achieved when antioxidant from bamboo leaves was chosen as the additive with a total flavonoid content of 32% compared with other two extracts and antioxidant from bamboo leaves mixed with flour was selected as the method of addition. Sensory evaluation results showed that the odour and flavour of fried chicken wings with antioxidant from bamboo leaves treatments had no significant difference compared with normal food matrixes (p > 0.05) when the antioxidant from bamboo leaves addition ratio was <0.5% (w/w). Colour acceptability in the study of sensory evaluation was in good correspondence with colour formation of fried chicken wings in each test group. These results suggest that antioxidant from bamboo leaves could significantly reduce acrylamide formation in fried chicken wings and yet still retain the original flavour and odour of the fried products. This study could be regarded as a pioneer contribution to the reduction of acrylamide in various foods by natural antioxidants.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the progress made in understanding the formation of acrylamide in coffee, as well as potential reduction strategies, as presented during the joint CIAA/EC workshop on acrylamide, held in Brussels in March 2006. Currently, there are no concrete measures to reduce acrylamide concentrations in roast and ground coffee without appreciably changing the organoleptic properties of the product. Certain approaches, such as steam roasting, have been tried on a laboratory scale, albeit without affording a significant reduction. More work on the mechanisms governing the "loss" of acrylamide during storage of roast and ground coffee is warranted, and studies in this direction have been initiated. Finally, risk/benefit analysis must be addressed in a complex food such as coffee, known to harbour numerous health beneficial/chemoprotective compounds with antioxidant and antimutagenic properties.

Abstract
The recent report of elevated acrylamide levels in heat processing foods evoked an international health alarm. Acrylamide, an acknowledged potential genetic and reproductive toxin with mutagenic and carcinogenic properties in experimental mammalians, has been found in various heat processing foods. Many original contributions reported their findings on the formation mechanism and possible reduction methods of acrylamide. The aim of this review article is to summarize the state-of-the-art about the formation and reduction of acrylamide in the Maillard reaction. This research progress includes mechanistic studies on the correlation between the Maillard reaction and acrylamide, the formation mechanism of acrylamide, the main pathways of formation and impact factors on formation including cultivars, storage temperature, storage time, heat temperature, heat time, environmental pH, concentration of precursors, effects of food matrixes, type of oil, etc. Meanwhile, primary mechanisms on the reduction of acrylamide as well as reduction pathways including material and processing related ways and use of exogenous chemical additives are systematically reviewed. The mitigation studies on acrylamide are also summarized by the Confederation of the Food and Drink Industries of the EU (CIAA) "Toolbox" approach.

Abstract
The generation of acrylamide was determined during frying and cold storage of breaded chicken products. The role of the batter crust on acrylamide formation also was evaluated. The effect of storage under a modified atmosphere on the fate of acrylamide was investigated during a 23-day storage period under refrigeration. Acrylamide was analyzed by using normal phase high-performance liquid chromatography according to a previously developed methodology that allows for dual identity verification as acrylamide and acrylic acid and determination of concentrations as low as 10 microg liter(-1), which corresponds to 20 microg kg(-1) of solid sample. For the total 28 commercial precooked samples analyzed, initial acrylamide concentrations ranged between 0.91 and 0.97 mg kg(-1) and were attributed to the combined effect of batter and meat. In all cases, acrylamide concentrations increased during storage, attaining a maximum (1.36 to 1.80 mg kg(-1)) between day 15 and day 19. The maximum value was observed in samples packaged under air, and the minimum value was observed under a modified atmosphere mixture of 60% CO2-40% N2. In this group, the maximum acrylamide concentration was reached after 19 days of storage. These data indicate that there is a high concentration of acrylamide in precooked, battered protein foods and that the concentration changes considerably during storage, which may lead to almost twice the initial amounts when air is present within the package.

Abstract
Acrylamide formation from asparagine and glucose in different ratios in neutral glycerol/water mixtures was found to increase with decreasing water activity (0.33 < or = aw < or = 0.71 investigated) and increasing temperature (120 degrees C < or = T < or = 160 degrees C investigated). The initial rate of acrylamide formation was found to be approximately proportional to the asparagine concentration for an excess of asparagine, but less dependent on an excess of glucose. A steady-state concentration of acrylamide was established at 160 degrees C after 1 h for aw = 0.33 (30 microg x L-1 for GLU:ASN = 10:1, 11 microg x L-1 for GLU:ASN = 1:1, and 130 microg x L-1 for GLU:ASN = 1:10) and for aw = 0.47 (15 microg x L-1 for GLU:ASN = 10:1 and 80 microg x L-1 for GLU:ASN = 1:10), suggesting a protection by glucose against acrylamide degradation. The energy of activation, as estimated from the temperature dependence of the initial rate, increased with decreasing aw despite a higher rate of formation of acrylamide at low aw. For high aw, water elimination from a reaction intermediate is suggested to be rate determining. For low aw, the increase in energy of activation (and enthalpy of activation) is accordingly counteracted by a more positive entropy of activation, in agreement with decarboxylation as rate determining at low aw.

Abstract
The present study was to demonstrate the efficiency of antioxidant of bamboo leaves (AOB) on the reduction of acrylamide during thermal processing and to summarize the optimal level of AOB applied in potato-based products. Potato crisps and French fries were immersed into different contents of AOB solution, and the frying processing parameters were optimized. The acrylamide content was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The sensory evaluation was performed in double blind manner. Our results showed that nearly 74.1% and 76.1% of acrylamide in potato crisps and French fries was reduced when the AOB addition ratio was 0.1% and 0.01% (w/w), respectively. The maximum inhibitory rate was achieved when the immersion time was designed as 60 s. Sensory evaluation results showed that the crispness and flavor of potato crisps and French fries processed by AOB solution had no significant difference compared to normal potato matrixes (P > 0.05) when the AOB addition ratio was <0.5% (w/w). These results suggested that AOB could significantly reduce acrylamide formation in potato-based foods and keep original crispness and flavor of potato matrixes. This study could be regarded as a pioneer contribution on the reduction of acrylamide in various foods by natural antioxidants.

Abstract
Glutamine is one of the most abundant free amino acid found in raw food. In this study, the contribution of free glutamine to nonenzymatic browning and fluorescence was investigated using an aqueous model system with methylglyoxal. The results indicated that glutamine contributed to the Maillard reaction via two pathways. First, the hydrolysis of the amide bond of glutamine led to the release of ammonia which was implicated in the formation of brown color and fluorescence. Among other nitrogen donors tested (asparagine, glutamic acid and urea) our results demonstrated that free glutamine was a major source of ammonia during heating. When heated at 120 and 180 degrees C, 100% of ammonia was released from glutamine after 60 and 10 min, respectively. The second pathway involved a direct Maillard reaction with the alpha-amino group of glutamine. Both pathways led to a rapid and complete destruction of glutamine when heated in the model systems. With reference to the Maillard browning (absorbance at 420 nm) glutamine turned out to be the most reactive amine, followed by asparagine, glutamate, ammonia and urea. Maximum fluorescence (excitation and emission wavelengths at 330 and 450 nm, respectively) was also observed with glutamine followed by urea and ammonia. Overall this study suggested that free glutamine predominantly contributes to the color and fluorescence formations of foodstuffs.

Abstract
This paper summarizes the progress made to date on acrylamide research pertaining to analytical methods, mechanisms of formation, and mitigation research in the major food categories. Initial difficulties with the establishment of reliable analytical methods have today in most cases been overcome, but challenges still remain in terms of the needs to develop simple and rapid test methods. Several researchers have identified that the main pathway of formation of acrylamide in foods is linked to the Maillard reaction and in particular the amino acid asparagine. Decarboxylation of the resulting Schiff base is a key step, and the reaction product may either furnish acrylamide directly or via 3-aminopropionamide. An alternative proposal is that the corresponding decarboxylated Amadori compound may release acrylamide by a beta-elimination reaction. Many experimental trials have been conducted in different foods, and a number of possible measures identified to relatively lower the amounts of acrylamide in food. The validity of laboratory trials must, however, be assessed under actual food processing conditions. Some progress in relatively lowering acrylamide in certain food categories has been achieved, but can at this stage be considered marginal. However, any options that are chosen to reduce acrylamide must be technologically feasible and also not negatively impact the quality and safety of the final product.
