Factors Affecting the Rheological Properties of Foods
PublicationIn this chapter, engineering aspects concerning real body mechanics and the impact of respective food ingredients on said properties are presented together. Food is a complex matrix and each of macro and micro ingredients plays its role in the formation of rheologic properties, and minor changes in the basic ingredient structure may affect the change of these properties significantly. Basic analytic techniques are presented for...

Edible Lepidoptera as human foods – a comprehensive review
PublicationAs the global population continues to grow, traditional protein sources like meat and fish are becoming increasingly unsustainable due to their environmental impact. Edible insects, on the other hand, are highly nutritious, require minimal resources to produce, and emit significantly fewer greenhouse gases than traditional livestock. Lepidoptera, one of the most diverse insect orders, contains some popular edible species that have...

Chapter 19. Mutagenic, Carcinogenic, and Chemopreventive Compounds in Foods
PublicationMutagenami są nazywane czynniki i substancje mogące powodować zmiany w zapisie genetycznym, kancerogenami lub czynnikami rakotwórczymi natomiast te, które przyczyniają się do powstawania nowotworów, z wyłączeniem podatności uwarunkowanej genetycznie. Przetwórstwo, a w szczególności obróbka termiczna żywności, jest główną przyczyną tworzenia się mutagenów i kancerogenów, niemniej jednak zwiekszają one trwałość żywności. Badania...

An analysis of pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls in biological samples and foods.
PublicationPestycydy i polichlorowane bifenyle występują w środowisku w małych ilościach, ale ulegając kumulacji, stanowią zagrożenie dla ludzi i zwierząt. Najbardziej zagrożony jest człowiek stojący na szczycie łańcucha pokarmowego. Świadomość niebezpieczeństw jakie niesie ze sobą postępujące zanieczyszczenie środowiska w połączeniu z nowoczesnymi środkami zaradczymi powinna zmniejszyć do minimum możliwość występowania zatruć u ludzi i powstania...

Natural sweeteners: Sources, extraction and current uses in foods and food industries
PublicationFood producers have leaned towards alternative natural and synthetic sweeteners in food formulations to satisfy market demands. Even so, several synthetic sweeteners (e.g., aspartame, saccharin, sucralose) are becoming less popular due to health-related concerns, lower nutritional values, and controversies around their safety. Conversely, natural sweeteners confer favourable customer perceptions due to their association to a healthier...

The content of high-intensity sweeteners in different categories of foods available on the Polish market
PublicationThe objective of this study was to measure the concentrations of nine high-intensity sweeteners (acesulfame-K, aspartame, alitame, cyclamate, dulcin, neohesperidin DC, neotame, saccharin and sucralose) in different categories of food available on the Polish market. Over 170 samples of different brands of beverages, yoghurts, fruit preparations, vegetable preserves and fish products were analysed using an analytical procedure based...

3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol in Infant Foods and Human Breast Milk: Determination by GC-MS
Publication3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol is one of the food borne contaminants called chloropropanols. Over the last decade plenty of analytical methods was developed in order to determine 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol in its free and bound form in various foodstuffs with the use of GC-FID, GC-ECD, LC-TOFMS and finally GC-MS, which is now widely used in laboratories. The aim of this research was the determination of 3-monochloropropane--1,2-diol...

A comprehensive review on current and emerging technologies toward the valorization of bio‐based wastes and by products from foods
PublicationIndustries in the agro-food sector are the largest generators of waste in the world. Agro-food wastes and by products originate from the natural process of senescence, pretreatment, handling, and manufacturing processes of food and beverage products. Notably, most of the wastes are produced with the transformation of raw materials (such as fruits, vegetables, plants, tubers, cereals, and dairy products) into different processed...

Meat products Brassica exploiting anticarcinogenic potential of cabbage phytochemicals: Polish path to bio-inspired foods
PublicationBadania populacyjne ostatnich dwóch dziesięcioleci wskazują na sposób odżywiania jako jeden z głównych czynników zagrożenia chorobami cywilizacyjnymi, z nowotworami włącznie. W przypadku chorób nowotworowych głównym elementem diety sprzyjającej kancerogenezie jest czerwone mięso. Ze względu na wartość odżywczą i powszechność spożycia produktów mięsnych, poprawienie ich wartości żywieniowej staje się problemem o istotnym znaczeniu...

Determination of nine high-intensity sweeteners in various foods by high-performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection
PublicationAn analytical procedure involving solid-phase extraction (SPE) and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed for the determination of nine high-intensity sweeteners authorised in the EU; acesulfame-K (ACS-K), aspartame (ASP), alitame (ALI), cyclamate (CYC), dulcin (DUL), neohesperidin dihydrochalcone (NHDC), neotame (NEO), saccharin (SAC) and sucralose (SCL) in a variety of food samples (i.e. beverages,...

ANTIOXIDANT POWER SERIES (APS) AS A TOOL FOR RATIONAL DESIGN AND ASSESSMENT OF HEALTH PROMOTING PROPERTIES OF FUNCTONAL FOODS BASED ON ANTIOXIDANT PHYTOCHEMICALS
PublicationOver past decades, plantborne antioxidants dominated so called "translational research" in the area of food, nutrition, and disease prevention. Among consumers and producers, such phytochemicals are synonyms of nutriceuticals. Popularity and commercial success of antioxidants stems from mechanistic studies suggesting the involvement of reactive oxygen species in etiology of chronic diseases. However, epidemiology failed to provide...

Synthesis, characterization and application of cross-linked functional terpolymer through epoxy group as sorbent for extraction of cadmium from waters and foods: Multivariate optimization
PublicationThe purpose of this study was to develop a selective sorbent for cadmium ions (Cd(II)) enrichment in orbital shaker assisted solid phase microextraction (OS-SPME) from different aqueous and food samples. A maleic anhydride-styrene-glycidyl methacrylate (MA-St-GMA) terpolymer was synthesized and characterized in detail. Experimental variables of sample preparation step were optimized using a central composite design (CCD). The final...

Concentration of Potentially Bioactive Compounds in Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oils from Various Sources by Using LC-MS and Multivariate Data Analysis
PublicationHigh quality extra virgin olive oils represent an optimal source of nutraceuticals. The European Union (EU) is the world’s leading olive oil producer, with the Mediterranean region as the main contributor. This makes the EU the greatest exporter and consumer of olive oil in the world. However, small olive oil producers also contribute to olive oil production. Beneficial effects on human health of extra virgin olive oil are well...

Occurrence and Levels of Biogenic Amines in Beers Produced by Different Methods
PublicationThe concentration of biogenic amines (BAs) in beer depends, among other factors, on the activity of microorganisms, in particular lactic acid bacteria. In this work an analytical method based on derivatization with tosyl chloride and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was used to determine 17 BAs in samples of commercially available beers, and to monitor the changes in concentration of...
