Acrylamide, a neurotoxin and suspected carcinogen, is produced by industrial processes and during the heating of foods. In this study, the microbial diversity of acrylamide metabolism has been expanded through the isolation and characterization of a new strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris capable of growth with acrylamide under photoheterotrophic conditions. The newly isolated strain grew rapi...

abstract: acrylamide is a chemical compound that has been widely used since the last century for various applications. it is also formed from carbohydrate and amino acid containing foods by application of heat particularly in fried potato products, coffee and bread. since bread is one of the primary foods of iranian people, the determination of acrylamide content in bread might be considered im...

background and objectives: in the production process of foods rich in carbohydrates and some other foods containing precursors of acrylamide formation, there is the possibility of acrylamide creation, which is a mutagen and carcinogen material. this study aims to introduce and optimize a new method for determining acrylamide in potato chips using xanthydrol as a derivative representative with g...

INTRODUCTION Acrylamide is used for wide range of industry purposes and it is produced in food during heating process. Foods with high acrylamide concentration include French fries, chips, bread crust, cereal, different baked goods. The electrophilic nature of acrylamide allows to interact with biological molecules. It is easily absorbed via the ingestion, inhalation or through the skin. OBJE...

The report of elevated acrylamide levels in some foods raised an international health alarm, because acrylamide probably has carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and genotoxic properties. However, data on the bioavailability of acrylamide from food matrices in humans are limited. In particular, only little is known about the interactions of acrylamide with food ingredients. Using a human intestine model (...

Oxidative stress was thought to be associated with acrylamide cytotoxicity, but the link between oxidative stress and acrylamide cytotoxicity in the gastrointestinal tract, the primary organ in contact with dietary acrylamide, is still unclear. This study was conducted to evaluate the antioxidant activity of natural dietary compound myricitrin and its protective role against acrylamide cytotoxi...

Acrylamide is an industrial chemical that has attracted considerable attention due to its presumed carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and cytotoxic effects. In this study we investigated possible acrylamide reproductive toxic effects in female mice. Mice were fed an acrylamide-containing diet for 6 weeks. Our results showed the following effects of an acrylamide-containing diet. (1) Ovary weights were r...

Objective: Toxic effects of acrylamide on body organs incline researches to prevent or decrease these effects. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of cinnamon extract (CE) supplementation on inflammation and oxidative stress induced by acrylamide in rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty two rats were divided into four groups as fo...

Acrylamide is an alpha,beta-unsaturated vinyl monomer that causes cytotoxicity due to its alkylating properties. In recent years several proteins have been identified that are alkylated by acrylamide in vivo. This finding might explain the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide in humans. However, the list of potential acrylamide target proteins is far from being complete. In particular, the proteins...
