cationic copolymer gels of acrylamide and [(methacrylamido) propyl] trimethyl ammonium chloride (maptac) were synthesized by free radical aqueous solution polymerization. the taguchi method, a robust experimental design, was employed for the optimization of the synthesis based on the equilibrium swelling capacity of the hydrogels. based on taguchi method a standard l16 orthogonal array with fiv...

Since its discovery in many heat-treatment foods 2002, efforts have been made to reduce acrylamide levels foods. Methods by reducing Maillard reaction products considered. However, baking cookies produces acrylamide, a carcinogenic compound. This study aimed use new quantitative index and formula for L-asparaginase, glucose oxidase, their 1:1 blending enzymes, baker’s yeast, green tea powder (0...

Introduction On April 24, 2002, the Swedish National Food Administration published data and comments on disturbingly high concentrations of acrylamide in some foods (1). Acrylamide causes tumors in laboratory animals. The discovery was considered particularly alarming as the acrylamide-containing foodstuffs include products regularly consumed in rather large quantities, such as potato chips, Fr...

Barnes, J. M. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 147-149. Observations on the effects on rats of compounds related to acrylamide. Nine compounds (Table), close chemical relations of acrylamide, were given to adult rats both in their diet and as repeated daily doses by mouth. Dose rates were such that with acrylamide acute poisoning and neuropathy would have resulted. Seven of the compounds wer...

acrylamide (aa) is an important industrial chemical agent that is mainly used in the production of polymers and copolymers. recently it has been attention because of its production in the diet at high-temperature (>120 ºc) processes such as cooking, frying, toasting, roasting or baking of high carbohydrate foods. according to high exposure to acrylamide, recognition of its toxic effect is neces...

Glycols, aldehydes, and acrylamide inhibit the in vitro formation of cold cataracts in calf lenses. The inhibition is reversed when the glycols or the acrylamide are diffused out of the lenses. The inhibition by aldehydes or polacrylamide is irreversible, suggesting that the crosslinking reagents may permanently modify lens structure to prevent the development of lens opacities due to a phase t...

The Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of acrylamide, as an activated alkene, has seen little development due to its low reactivity. We have developed the reaction using isatin derivatives with acrylamide, DABCO as a promoter and phenol as an additive in acetonitrile. The corresponding aza version with acrylate and acrylonitrile has also been developed resulting in high product yields.

Clickable biocompatible nanoparticles were prepared in a one-pot process by microemulsion polymerization using acrylamide, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide and either N-(11-azido-3,6,9-trioxaundecanyl)acrylamide or N-propargylacrylamide, which were then readily modified by CuAAC reaction to afford sensing nanomaterials.

The micronucleus (MN) test in bone-marrow and peripheral blood erythrocytes is one of the best established in vivo cytogenetic assays in the field of genetic toxicology, providing a convenient and reliable index of both chromosome breakage and chromosome loss. Therefore a study was made on micronuclei assay to evaluate the degree of genotoxicity of acrylamide and its toxicologic effects on chic...

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is used routinely in potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivation to maximize yield. However, it also affects sugar and free amino acid concentrations in potato tubers, and this has potential implications for food quality and safety because free amino acids and reducing sugars participate in the Maillard reaction during high-temperature cooking and processing. This results in ...
