This comprehensive study aimed to determine the level of nutritional compounds (20 amino acids, 11 phenolic acids, and 8 vitamins) and hazard compounds (14 mycotoxins) in ten types of conventional and ecological nuts from 25 countries. Moreover, chronic and acute toxicological risk assessment of mycotoxins was performed. Examined constituents were determined using LC-MS/MS. Ecological pine nuts showed the highest level of amino acids (233.87 g kg) compared to conventional (207 g kg), pecans-phenolic acids (816.6 mg kg in ecological and 761 mg kg in conventional), while pistachios-vitamins (3471.4 mg kg in ecological and 3098.4 mg kg in conventional). Increased concentration of mycotoxins was determined in conventional peanuts (54 μg kg) and walnuts (49.9 μg kg). Children were the most exposed population to acute intoxication with HT-2 toxin in conventional pistachios (20.66% ARfD). The results confirmed the nutritional importance of ecological nuts and emphasized the need for continuous screening of mycotoxins.

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are environmental pollutants extensively used in industries. While the use of short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) has been restricted since 2017, the use of medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCPs) has risen as their replacement. Due to lipophilic character, it can be expected that CPs enter the cells; however, the in vitro accumulation potential of CPs remains poorly understood.

Polyphenolic plant compounds possess nutritional and pro-healthy potential, reducing the risk of auto-inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. However, their interference with the progression of thyroid gland dysfunctions has remained largely unaddressed. For this purpose, we combined the analyses of phenolic content and antioxidative activity with the thyroid peroxidase (TPO), lipoxygenase (LOX), xanthine oxidase (XO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity assays, isobolographic approach and the estimation of thyroid cancer cells' proliferation and motility in vitro.

Background: Untargeted metabolomics requires robust and reliable strategies for data processing to extract relevant information form the underlying raw data. Multiple platforms for data processing are available, but the choice of software tool can have an impact on the analysis. This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of four workflows based on commonly used metabolomics software tools: XCMS, Compound Discoverer, MS-DIAL, and MZmine.
