متن کاملFood Mycotoxins: An Update
Unavoidable, natural contaminants in foods may have either chemical or biological origin. Mycotoxins—toxic secondary metabolites of fungi—are biological in origin. Despite efforts to control fungal contamination, toxigenic fungi are ubiquitous in nature and occur regularly in worldwide food supplies due to mold infestation of susceptible agricultural products, such as cereal grains, nuts, and f...

In rodents, BPA is associated with early sexual maturation, altered behavior, and effects on prostate and mammary glands. In humans, BPA is associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and male sexual dysfunction in exposed workers. Food is a major exposure source. We know of no ...
متن کاملAir coupled ultrasonic detection of surface defects in food cans
In this paper we describe an ultrasonic inspection system used for detection of surface defects in food cans. The system operates in pulse-echo mode and analyzes the 220 kHz ultrasonic signal backscattered by the object. The classification of samples into valid or defective is achieved with χ statistics and the k-nearest neighbour method, applied to features computed from the envelope of the ul...
متن کاملXenoestrogens released from lacquer coatings in food cans.
We present data showing that some foods preserved in lacquer-coated cans and the liquid in them may acquire estrogenic activity. Hormonal activity was measured using the E-screen bioassay. The biological activity of vegetables packed in cans was a result of plastic monomers used in manufacturing the containers. The plastic monomer bisphenol-A, identified by mass spectrometry, was found as a con...
