Diet is a main source of acrylamide exposure to humans. Existing observational data on the relationship between dietary exposure to acrylamide and risk of cancer are inconsistent. We performed a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of epidemiological studies evaluating the association between dietary acrylamide exposure and several site-specific cancer. A systematic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases until March 7, 2022. Studies were eligible if they were carried out in non-occupationally exposed adults, assessed dietary acrylamide exposure (μg/day) and reported risk estimates of cancer incidence (all but gynecological cancers). Using a random-effects model, we performed a meta-analysis of site-specific cancer risk comparing the highest vs. lowest category of dietary acrylamide exposure. We also carried out a one-stage dose-response meta-analysis assessing the shape of the association. Out of 1,994 papers screened, 31 were eligible (total of 16 studies), which included 1,151,189 participants in total, out of whom 48,175 developed cancer during the median follow-up period of 14.9 years (range 7.3-33.9). The mean estimated dose of dietary acrylamide across studies was 23 μg/day. Pooled analysis showed no association between the highest vs. lowest dietary acrylamide exposure and each site-specific cancer investigated, with no evidence of thresholds in the dose-response meta-analysis. There were also no associations between dietary acrylamide exposure and the risk of cancers when stratifying by smoking status, except for increased risk of lung cancer in smokers. In conclusion, high dietary acrylamide exposure was not associated with an increased risk of site-specific non-gynecological cancer.

In the present study, einkorn wheat flour ( L.) was incorporated into a special dried bread (peksimet) formulation produced from sourdough breads at different concentrations (0-10-20-30-40 and 50 g 100 g) and some physicochemical and nutritional (total dietary fiber, resistant starch, glycemic index, acrylamide content) characteristics and sensory properties of the samples were investigated. The total dietary fiber content of the bread samples ranged from 3.

Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) is consumed traditionally and is known to possess health-promoting effects. In this research, application of Echium amoenum (borage) powder (EAP) at levels of zero, 1 and 2 % w/w was investigated in the production of biscuit as a widely consumed snack and some characteristics of dough and biscuit samples were evaluated. By adding EAP and increasing its level, water absorption values and dough stability increased (p < 0.

Acrylamide is a food contaminant formed during high-temperature cooking processes, leading to unintentional human exposure. Diet is the primary source for non-smokers, with potatoes, cereals, and coffee being the main contributors. While animal studies have demonstrated that acrylamide is neurotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and cardiotoxic, its effects on human cardiovascular health remain poorly understood.

Acrylamide (AA) has raised concerns throughout the world in recent years because of its potential negative effects on human health. Numerous researches on humans and animals have connected a high dietary exposure to AA to a possible risk of cancer. Additionally, higher consumption of acrylamide has also been associated with dysfunctioning of various organ systems from nervous system to the reproductive system.

Article Synopsis
- This study measured acrylamide levels in traditionally brewed Ethiopian coffee varieties from regions including Jimma and Sidama.
- Acrylamide concentrations varied among coffee types, with the highest levels found in Hararge and Nekemte, while brewed coffee showed significantly lower concentrations for both first and second brews.
- Daily acrylamide intake from coffee was well within safe limits, though some concerns were noted for Nekemte coffee in specific areas, suggesting a need for strategies to reduce acrylamide levels to protect health.
