Objective: To analyze the nutrient composition and nutritional value evaluation of 5 potatoes in Anqing City.

Methods: According to the requirements of the Technical Manual for Food Composition Monitoring Projects, 5 types of potato samples were collected from Anqing City, Anhui Province. National standard detection method were used to determine the nutritional components such as water, ash, protein, fat, dietary fiber, sugar, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids in the samples.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the health risks posed by Alternaria toxins and develops a method for detecting specific toxins in human samples.
  • An ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technique was optimized to measure toxins in human plasma and urine using specific mobile phase solutions and scanning methods.
  • The method proved to be effective and accurate, with detection limits ranging from 0.02 to 0.6 µg/L, aiding in the evaluation of human exposure to these toxins.

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are a class of cationic surfactants that can be used as the main active ingredient of disinfectants. The increased use of QACs is concerning as exposure from inhalation or ingestion to these compounds that has been associated with adverse effects on the reproductive and respiratory systems. Humans are exposed to QACs primarily by food consumption and inhalation of air.

Enniatins (ENNs) and beauvericin (BEA), known as emerging mycotoxins, are the toxic secondary metabolites produced by various species. Most grain and grain-based products are contaminated with ENNs and BEA. Animals have been exposed to ENNs and BEA primarily due to consumption of cereal grains and cereal by-products.

A method for the preparation and certification of the reference material of tenuazonic acid (TeA) and tentoxin (TEN) in wheat flour was developed. This method provided methodological references to develop of standard material for analyzing alternaria toxins in grains. The wheat flour reference materials were based on wheat grains which were naturally contaminated with alternaria toxins.
