A method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of acrylamide (AA) in foods. The method includes the addition of 13C-labeled acrylamide-1-13C (AA-1-13C) as an internal standard, extraction with water, bromination, clean-up with a Florisil cartridge column, dehydrobromination and GC/MS analysis in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Bromination of AA to 2,3-dibromopropionamide (2,3-DBPA) was done using potassium bromide and potassium bromate under an acidic condition. 2,3-DBPA was converted to 2-bromopropenamide (2-BPA) by dehydrobromination with triethylamine before GC/MS analysis. The recoveries of AA from spiked potato chips, corn snack, pretzel and roasted tea were 97-105%, and their relative standard deviations were 0.8-3.9%. The detection limit of AA in foods was 9 ng/g. The method was applied to thirty-one foods purchased from retail markets. AA was found in potato chips at the level of 466-3,340 ng/g, and in other foods at the level of ND-520 ng/g.

The human body gets exposed to a variety of toxins intentionally or unintentionally on a regular basis from sources such as air, water, food, and soil. Certain toxins can be synthetic, while some are biological. The toxins affect the various parts of the body by activating numerous pro-inflammatory markers, like oxidative stresses, that tend to disturb the normal function of the organs ultimately.

The study focused on converting tea bag waste into strong fluorescence carbon quantum dots (TBW-CQDs) for the detection of acrylamide in drinking water, antimicrobial activity, and photocatalytic degradation. The TBW-CQDs exhibited blue luminescence and maximum absorbance at 287 nm under UV light and distinctive fluorescence emission and excitation wavelengths at 425 nm and 287 nm, respectively. TBW-CQDs revealed a particle size of 8.

The formation and occurrence of acrylamide in carbohydrate-rich foods has been extensively studied over the course of the past few decades. However, the emergence of plant-based meat alternatives presents a new challenge in this field. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of acrylamide in commercially available plant-based meat alternatives before and after heat treatment.

This research aimed to produce a multifunctional bread by adding hydrothermally processed rice bran (RB), green tea extract (GTE), and rosemary extract (RE). In the first step, hydrothermal processing was used to reduce the amount of phytic acid in RB, which decreased by 55 %. Based on the acrylamide amount, texture profile analysis, and color parameters, 3 % RB was selected as the optimum concentration in the bread formulation.
