This study demonstrates the results obtained from the GC/MS experimental determination of low concentrations of N-nitrosodiphenylamine in meat canned baby food in the concentration range of 0.027-3.89 mg/kg. The perfect conditions of sample preparation (extraction with organic solvent and solid phase extraction) as well as the application of the chromatography-mass spectrometry allowed us to detect N-nitrosodiphenylamine in samples of the meat canned baby food with high selectivity in concentrations ranged from 0.016 to 5 mg/kg when an error of 23% was assumed. The use of the reaction of transesterification of fatty acids by potassium methylate, the removal of the ester generated from the samples of canned meat by organic solvent (hexane), concentrating of N-nitrosodiphenylamine in the aqueous layer on the cartridges of an automatic solid-phase extraction system provided 99.94% extraction of N-nitrosodiphenylamine from the canned meat samples. The experiment has made evident the presence of N-nitrosodiphenylamine in the samples of canned meat (beef + chicken) with the help of mass-spectrometry method in the mode of full ion scanning using the AMDIS automatic mass-spectral identification system.

Purpose: Provision of nutrition information is mandated for packaged foods, but few countries regulate serving sizes. Our objective was to develop a methodology to establish globally consistent portion size recommendations for both nutrient-dense and discretionary foods.
Methods: A stepwise systematic approach incorporated portion values from serving size regulations (n = 10), food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG; n = 90, aggregated into 6 regions), and reported food intakes from Europe and Australia.
Sex-differences in the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome: results from a large Ontario, Canada worker cohort.

Occupational Cancer Research Centre, Ontario Health, 525 University Avenue, 5th floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5G 2L3, Canada.
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent cumulative strain injury associated with occupational risk factors such as vibration, repetitive and forceful wrist movements, and awkward wrist postures. This study aimed to identify Ontario workers at elevated risk for CTS and to explore sex differences in CTS risk among workers.
Methods: The Occupational Disease Surveillance System (ODSS) links accepted lost time compensation claims to health administrative databases.

Selecting the appropriate sterilization intensity is crucial for the canning of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba). This study investigated the effects of different sterilization intensities on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of canned krill. Using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), which identified 45 and 36 VOCs, respectively.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA novel approach for reducing mercury content in fish meat during post-packaging storage is developed to extend the margin of their safe consumption. It involves employing a single-component aqueous medium containing cysteine, as the active agent responsible for displacing mercury from fish proteins and its stabilization in the medium without the need for pH adjustments. The mercury removal efficiency depends on the cysteine concentration and its ratio to fish muscle.

Mercury is a toxic trace metal found in seafood products owing to its bioaccumulative and ubiquitous nature. Seafood and fish are frequently consumed, being necessary to assess its human health risk. Accordingly, this study quantified total mercury in samples of canned tuna in water from supermarkets in the Metropolitan District of Quito in Ecuador, in order to ensure that Hg content is within the maximum limits stablished in national and international regulations.
