Article Synopsis
- The traditional method for extracting nitrite from food involves slightly alkaline conditions and colorimetric analysis, but it can result in cloudy samples that are hard to filter.
- An improved analytical method has been validated, yielding target values for trueness (88-92%), repeatability (2.0-3.0%), and intralaboratory reproducibility (3.2-4.3%) in common food samples like cod roe and ham.
- An interlaboratory study across eight institutions confirmed the method's effectiveness, reporting trueness between 82-95% and repeatability of 2.3-5.8%, demonstrating the method's potential for reliable nitrite determination in food.

Article Synopsis
- A survey was conducted in 2018 in Japan to estimate how much food additives young children (ages 1-6) consume daily, using various food additives like colorants, preservatives, and sweeteners.
- The findings revealed that phosphorus compounds were consumed the most, with an intake of 11.2 mg/kg bw/day, followed by propylene glycol at 0.80 mg/kg bw/day, while other additives ranged between 0 and 0.20 mg/kg bw/day.
- Comparisons with acceptable daily intakes (ADI) showed propylene glycol at 3.2% of its ADI, while other additives stayed between 0 and 1.1%, and phosphorus compounds were at 16%
