Abstract:
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are considered to be potentially genotoxic and carcinogenic to humans. For non-smoking populations, food is the main source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure. Due to their lipophilic nature, oils and fats rank among the food items with the highest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content. Consequently, the detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils is critical for the promotion of human health. This paper reviews sample pretreatment methods, such as liquid-phase-based extraction methods, adsorbent-based extraction methods, and the QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) method, combined with detection techniques like mass spectrometry and chromatography-based techniques for accurate quantification of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in edible oils since 2010. An overview on the advances of the methods discussed herein, along with a commentary addition of current challenges and prospects, will guide researchers to focus on developing more effective detection methods and control measures to reduce the potential risks and hazards posed by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
摘要:
多环芳烃被认为对人类具有潜在的遗传毒性和致癌性。对于非吸烟人群,食物是多环芳烃接触的主要来源。由于它们的亲脂性,油脂是多环芳烃含量最高的食品之一。因此,食用油中多环芳烃的检测对促进人类健康至关重要。本文综述了样品预处理方法,例如基于液相的萃取方法,基于吸附剂的提取方法,和QuEChers(快,easy,便宜,有效,崎岖,和安全)方法,自2010年以来,结合质谱和基于色谱的检测技术,对食用油中的多环芳烃进行准确定量。概述本文讨论的方法的进展,加上对当前挑战和前景的评论,将指导研究人员重点开发更有效的检测方法和控制措施,以降低多环芳烃带来的潜在风险和危害。
