Objective: Comparative analysis of two method for determining fat and analysis of fatty acid content in tea samples.
Methods: The content of freefatand total fat in tea was determined by Soxhlet extraction method and acid hydrolysis method, and the content of fatty acids were determined by gas chromatography. The composition and content of fatty acids in 21 tea samples from 5 regions were analyzed.
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.

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.
