In this study, an accelerated migration test on food can coatings into food simulants was investigated. Food simulants covering a wide range of polarity were used to conduct migration tests at 60 °C with storage times ranging from 4 h to 30 days. Epoxy-resins, acrylic–phenolic, polyester, and vinyl coatings were exposed to water, 3% acetic acid, 50% ethanol, and Miglyol 812®. Using liquid chromatography coupled to a variety of detectors (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS, UFLC-MS/MS, and HPLC-DAD), migration of several monomers and previously identified oligomers, as well as some unidentified migrants, were determined during the experiment. The data from this study was compared to our findings from previous long-term migration studies with storage times ranging from 24 h to 540 days at 40 °C using the same can coating applications. The results illustrate that performing migration experiments for short time periods at 60 °C may mimic migration results that would be obtained at 40 °C after long-term migration tests (up to 1.5 years) from food can coatings into food simulants.

Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs), worldwide appreciated and used as condiments, dyes, and preservatives, possess several biological properties that justify their continuous application in the food industry. In the present study, the nutritional and chemical profiles, as well as the bioactive properties of four combinations of condiments, sold for seasoning poultry, meat, fish, and salads, were evaluated. Twenty-five phenolic compounds (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS) were identified, with apigenin-O-malonyl-pentoside-hexoside as the major compound detected in all extracts. Oxalic and citric acids were identified in all mixtures (UFLC-PDA), as well as all the four tocopherol isoforms (HPLC-fluorescence). Regarding bioactivities, the mixtures for meat and salads (TBARS) and meat and poultry (OxHLIA) stood out for their antioxidant potential, whereas for the anti-inflammatory and antitumor properties, the mixtures revealing the greatest results were those for poultry and salad, respectively. In terms of antimicrobial activity, all the mixtures revealed the capacity to inhibit the growth of some bacterial strains. In brief, condiment mixtures showed to be a good source of bioactive compounds, as they confer health benefits, validating the importance of their inclusion in the human diet as a good dietary practice.

Lentils (Lens culinaris spp.) are an important food consumed worldwide given their high protein, fiber, mineral, and phytochemical contents, and can be used as a potential source of good nutrition for many people. With the purpose of valuing the Pardina variety, the quality brand from a protected geographical indication “Lenteja de Tierra de Campos”, a full assessment of the nutritional, chemical, and antioxidant properties of 34 samples from this variety was carried out. Besides its actual rich nutritional profile, three phenolic compounds by high performance liquid chromatography equipped with photodiode array detection-mass (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS) were identified (kaempferol derivatives) with slight differences between them in all extracts. Sucrose by high-performance liquid chromatography with a refraction index detector (HPLC-RI) and citric acid by ultra-fast liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector (UFLC-PDA) were the major identified sugar and organic acid components, respectively, as well as α-tocopherol and γ-tocopherol isoforms (HPLC-fluorescence). Additionally, all the extracts presented excellent antioxidant activity by the oxidative hemolysis inhibition assay (OxHLIA/TBARS). Briefly, Pardina lentils from this quality brand are a good source of nutritional and chemical components and should therefore be included in a balanced diet.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of two different doses (250 and 500 mg/kg) of Morinda citrifolia fruit aqueous extract (AE) in high-fat/high-fructose-fed Swiss mice. The food intake, body weight, serum biochemical, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), as well as histological analyses of the liver, pancreatic, and epididymal adipose tissue, were used to determine the biochemical and histological parameters. The chemical profile of the extract was determined by ultra-fast liquid chromatography–diode array detector–tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC–DAD–MS), and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate the gene expressions involved in the lipid and glucose metabolism, such as peroxisome proliferative-activated receptors-γ (PPAR-γ), -α (PPAR-α), fatty acid synthase (FAS), glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P), sterol regulatory binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), carbohydrate-responsive element-binding protein (ChREBP), and fetuin-A. Seventeen compounds were tentatively identified, including iridoids, noniosides, and the flavonoid rutin. The higher dose of AE (AE 500 mg/kg) was demonstrated to improve the glucose tolerance; however, both doses did not have effects on the other metabolic and histological parameters. AE at 500 mg/kg downregulated the PPAR-γ, SREBP-1c, and fetuin-A mRNA in the liver and upregulated the PPAR-α mRNA in white adipose tissue, suggesting that the hypoglycemic effects could be associated with the expression of genes involved in de novo lipogenesis.

A fritura é um processo rápido de preparação do alimento, resultando em produtos com aroma, sabor e textura agradável. As alterações que se processam em um óleo comestível durante o preparo de alimentos, são derivadas de reações hidrolíticas, térmicas e oxidativas. Entre os compostos formados durante a degradação dos óleos pode-se destacar os hidroxialquenais α, β- insaturados, devido a seus efeitos citotóxicos e mutagênicos, uma vez que eles podem interferir em uma ampla gama de atividades biológicas, incluindo a inibição de proteínas e a síntese de DNA. Esse trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a formação de compostos carbonílicos (CC), com ênfase nos hidroxialdeídos α, β- insaturados, na fração líquida do óleo quando submetido a aquecimento contínuo a temperatura típica de processo de fritura (180°C), na presença dos íons metálicos Fe(III), Cu(II) e Mn(II), em diferentes concentrações (10, 30 e 50 g.kg-1 de óleo) ao longo de oito horas de aquecimento.Para determinação dos CC, foi desenvolvida, validada e aplicada metodologia analítica por extração líquido-líquido e análise por UFLC-DAD-ESI-MS. No desenvolvimento do método foram avaliados: solvente extrator, volume do extrator, modo e velocidade de agitação e tempo de sonicação. Na validação do método foram avaliados o efeito da matriz, sensibilidade, seletividade, linearidade das curvas analíticas, limites de detecção e quantificação, precisão e exatidão. Dentre os CC estudados foram identificados e quantificados dez: 4-hidroxi-2-trans- hexenal, 4-hidroxi-2-trans-nonenal, 4,5-epoxi-2-decenal, acroleína, 2-heptenal, 2,4- heptadienal, 2-octenal, 2,4-decadienal, 2-decenal e 2-undecenal. Além destes, o hidroxi-decadienal e o dihidroxi-decenal foram propostos como também sendo formados, baseando-se na análise dos espectros de massas dos picos cromatográficos. Durante o aquecimento, 4-hidroxi-2-trans-nonenal, 2,4-decadienal e 2,4-heptadienal foram os compostos que apresentaram as maiores concentrações médias nas oito horas de aquecimento. No estudo da influência dos metais, de um modo geral, a adição dos íons metálicos às amostras provocou um aumento nas concentrações dos CC, sendo que o 2-undecenal, 4-hidroxi-2-trans-hexenal e o 2- decenal foram os que tiveram os maiores aumentos relativos nas concentrações. Em termos de efeito catalítico, o cobre foi o metal que mostrou-se mais eficiente em promover um aumento nas concentrações, seguido do manganês, sendo que, em geral, esses efeitos eram superiores na concentração de 50 g.kg-1. Por outro lado, os íons metálicos estudados não afetaram significativamente a ordem de concentração com que os CC foram formados; entretanto, atuaram como catalisadores de reações oxidativas, acelerando o processo de degradação dos óleos vegetais e com isso aumentaram a formação de compostos secundários, como os compostos carbonílicos. Finalmente, cabe destacar as concentrações relativamente altas do 4-hidroxi-2-trans-nonenal, 2,4-decadienal e 4,5-epoxi-2- decenal, encontradas neste estudo na fração líquida do óleo de soja, tendo em vista sua alta toxicidade relatada e uma possível transferência para os alimentos em contato com o óleo.
The frying is a rapid process of preparing the food, resulting in products with nice aroma, flavor and texture. The changes that occur in the edible oil during food preparation are derived from hydrolytic, thermal and oxidative reactions. Among the compounds formed during the degradation of oils can highlight the α, β- unsaturated hydroxyalkenals, due to their cytotoxic and mutagenic effects, since they may interfere with a wide range of biological activities, including inhibition of protein and DNA synthesis. This work aimed to study the formation of carbonyl compounds, with emphasis on α, β- unsaturated hydroxyaldehydes present in soybean oil when subjected to the process continuous heating at typical frying temperature (180°C), in the presence of metal ions such as Fe (II), Cu (II) and Mn (II), in different concentrations (10, 30 and 50 g kg-1 oil) over eight hours of heating. For determination of carbonyl compounds in oil samples was developed, validated and applied the analytical method by liquid-liquid extraction and analysis by UFLC- DAD/ESI-MS. In developing the method were evaluated: solvent extractor, extractor volume, mode and rate of stirring and sonication time; in the validation of the method were evaluated the matrix effect, sensitivity, selectivity, linearity of the calibration curves, limits of detection and quantification, precision and accuracy. We identified and quantified ten CC: 4-hydroxy-2-trans-hexenal, 4-hydroxy-2-trans-nonenal, 4,5- epoxy-2-decadal, acrolein, 2-heptenal, 2,4-heptadienal, 2-octenal, 2,4-decadienal, 2- decadal and 2-undecenal. In addition, the hydroxy-dihydroxy-decadienal and decadal also been proposed as being formed, based on the analysis of the mass spectra of the chromatographic peaks. During heating, 4-hydroxy-2-trans-nonenal, 2,4- heptadienal and 2,4-decadienal were compounds which had the highest average concentration within eight hours of heating. In the study of the influence of metals, in general, the addition of metal ions to the samples caused an increase in the concentration of CC, wherein the 2-undecenal, 4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and trans-2- decadal were that had the greatest relative increases in concentrations. In terms of catalytic effect, copper is the metal which was more efficient at promoting an increase in concentration followed by manganese, and, in general, these effects were higher in concentration of 50 g kg-1. On the other hand, the metal ions studied did not significantly affect the order that the CC concentration were formed; however, acted as catalysts for oxidative reactions, accelerating the process of degradation of vegetable oils and thereby increased the formation of secondary compounds, such as carbonyl compounds. Finally, we highlight the 4,5-epoxy-2-decadal relatively high concentrations of HNE, 2,4-decadienal, and in this study the liquid fraction of soybean oil, given its high toxicity and reported a possible transfer to food in contact with the oil.
