Analysis of foods for arsenic and selenium by acid digestion, hydride evolution atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
A method based on acid digestion, hydride evolution atomic absorption spectrophotometry for estimating microgram and submicrogram quantities of As and Se in foods was developed and evaluated. Samples up to 3 g dry weight were digested with HNO3-HCIO4-H2SO4. As and Se in aliquots of the digests were reduced with NaBH4 to volatile hydrides, using laboratory-constructed and commercially available generators. As and Se were estimated by transient signal atomic absorbance measurements as the hydrides were decomposed in an Ar-H2-entrained air flame. Recoveries of inorganic As and Se added at levels of 0.1-1.0 microgram/g to a variety of foods ranged from 70 to 125%. Analyses of several standard reference samples indicated the method is capable of recovering native analytes. Detection limits for the determinative step and the method as a whole were as low as 5 and 25 ng, respectively, for both elements.

[Analysis of food allergy incidence in children up to 5 years of age in the Wielikopolska region].
The aim of this study was found the most frequent food allergens and analysis of food allergy incidence in children with food allergy from region Wielkopolska. 78 children in age from 2 months to 5 years of life with the first symptoms of food allergy: gastrointestinals symptoms and atopic dermatitis was examined. The specific IgE using the immunoenzymatic Quidel and AlaSTAT method to wheat, peanut, hazel nut, tomato, soya been, cow milk, egg, corn, orange and cod was percentage of the lymphocytes ThCD4+ in peripheral blood of allergy children was estimated. The normal results ranging from 29-42%. During the analysis established that in children from region Wielkopolska the most frequent allergen in each age was cow milk. Allergy to wheat found in 50% children with food allergy. It was observed increase allergy to new products as soya been, corn and nuts which are the more frequent used in our region. The causes apparent the food allergy among the children in age to 5 years are: so early given the cow's milk and other foreign protein to diet of infants, and infections the intestinal, airways and urine tracts. It is necessary breast-feeding the infants minimum up to 6 months of life and varying light diet without a big amounts of cow's milk or other foreign proteins during lactation and pregnancy. About a half of patients had a decreased number of lymphocytes T CD4+. Among the causes of food allergy the most important are in 40% the genetic factors but in 60% the infections factors and feedings defects.

Neutron capture prompt-gamma activation analysis of foods.
The suitability of neutron capture prompt-gamma activation analysis (PGAA) for multielement analysis of foods was investigated. A total of 22 elements was observed in 40 food and mineral supplements. Hydrogen, B, C, N, Na, S, Cl, and K concentrations were determined in NIST RM 8431a Mixed Diet and in a wet diet composite made from FDA Total Diet Study collections. Because the neutron flux is so low for PGAA, the method is nondestructive and reanalysis of analytical portions is possible. Both diet materials were analyzed before and after freeze-drying to check for element losses during this process. No losses were found for RM 8431a, but significant losses of B and Na were observed for the wet composite. The measured loss of hydrogen for the wet composite was not consistent with the assumption that the lost mass was water only.

Food advertising in the age of obesity: content analysis of food advertising on general market and african american television.
OBJECTIVE: To document the types of foods advertised and weight-related nutritional claims made during advertisements appearing on general market and African American television programming. DESIGN: Content analysis of 553 food advertisements appearing during 101.5 prime-time television hours. OUTCOME MEASURES: Advertisements were classified according to general category (fast-food restaurant, sit-down restaurant, packaged food), specific food type, and the presence of a weight-related nutritional claim. ANALYSIS: The type of foods advertised and nutritional claims made on general market and African American programs were compared using t and chi-squared tests. RESULTS: More food advertisements appeared during African American programs than general market programs. These advertisements were more likely to be for fast food, candy, soda, or meat and less likely to be for cereals, grains and pasta, fruits and vegetables, dessert, or alcohol. Of all of the food advertisements, 14.9% made a weight-related nutritional claim. More claims related to fat content appeared during African American programming, whereas more light and lean claims appeared in general market advertisements. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Practitioners and policy makers should be aware of the prevalence of food advertisements and their potential impact on knowledge and behavior and should consider working more closely with food manufacturers to encourage the creation and promotion of weight-friendly foods. Meanwhile, nutrition educators can help by teaching consumers critical thinking skills as may relate to food advertisements.

Internet food marketing strategies aimed at children and adolescents: a content analysis of food and beverage brand web sites.
Americans are spending an increasing amount of time using "new media" like the Internet. There has been little research examining food and beverage Web sites' content and marketing practices, especially those that attract children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to conduct a content analysis of food- and beverage-brand Web sites and the marketing techniques and advertising strategies present on these sites. The top five brands in eight food and beverage categories, 40 brands in total, were selected based on annual sales data from Brandweek magazine's annual "Superbrands" report. Data were collected using a standardized coding form. The results show a wide variety of Internet marketing techniques and advertising strategies targeting children and adolescents. "Advergaming" (games in which the advertised product is part of the game) was present on 63% of the Web sites. Half or more of the Web sites used cartoon characters (50%) or spokescharacters (55%), or had a specially designated children's area (58%) with a direct link from the homepage. With interactive media still in its developmental stage, there is a need to develop safeguards for children. Food and nutrition professionals need to advocate for responsible marketing techniques that will support the health of children.

Trace mycotoxin analysis in complex biological and food matrices by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure ionisation mass spectrometry.
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi that are growing on agricultural commodities. Their frequent presence in food and their severe toxic, carcinogenic and estrogenic properties have been recognised as potential threat to human health. A reliable risk assessment of mycotoxin contamination for humans and animals relies basically on their unambiguous identification and accurate quantification in food and feedstuff. While most screening methods for mycotoxins are based on immunoassays, unambiguous analyte confirmation can be easily achieved with mass spectrometric methods, like gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Due to the introduction of atmospheric pressure ionisation (API) techniques in the late 80s, LC/MS has become a routine technique also in food analysis, overcoming the traditional drawbacks of GC/MS regarding volatility and thermal stability. During the last few years, this technical and instrumental progress had also an increasing impact on the expanding field of mycotoxin analysis. The aim of the present review is to give an overview on the application of LC-(API)MS in the analysis of frequently occurring and highly toxic mycotoxins, such as trichothecenes, ochratoxins, zearalenone, fumonisins, aflatoxins, enniatins, moniliformin and several other mycotoxins. This includes also the investigation of some of their metabolites and degradation products. Suitable sample pre-treatment procedures, their applicability for high sample through-put and their influence on matrix effects will be discussed. The review covers literature published until July 2006.

High-performance liquid chromatographic evaluation of biogenic amines in foods. An analysis of different methods of sample preparation in relation to food characteristics.
Biogenic amines are compounds formed by amino acid decarboxylation in fermented foods. Most of the methods for amine determination involve acid extraction followed by a liquid-liquid purification step. The different parameters which can influence amine recoveries are considered; experience with different foods such as cheese, fish and meat preserves are reported and for each of them the optimized analytical procedure is described. Data concerning recovery and repeatability of the method are also reported and the various factors that influence amine extraction are discussed. The possibility of applying direct derivatization without any other purification step is also considered.

Recent advances in the application of mass spectrometry in food-related analysis.
A review is presented on recent applications of mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques for the analysis of compounds of food concern. Substances discussed are naturally occurring compounds in food products such as lipids, oligosaccharides, proteins, vitamins, flavonoids and related substances, phenolic compounds and aroma compounds. Among xenobiotics, applications of MS techniques for the analysis of pesticides, drug residues, toxins, amines and migrants from packaging are overviewed. Advances in the analysis of trace metals of nutritional and toxicological interest by MS with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) source are presented. The main features of mass spectrometry combined with separation instruments are discussed in food-related analysis. Examples of mass spectrometry and tandem MS (MS-MS) are provided. The development and application of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray (ESI) to the analysis of peptides and proteins in food is discussed. This survey will attempt to cover the state-of-the-art up from 1999 to 2001.

N-nitrosamine analysis in foods: N-nitrosoamino acids by high-performance liquid chromatography/thermal energy analysis and total N-nitroso compounds by chemical denitrosation/thermal energy analysis.
The total N-nitroso content of foods can be measured by chemical denitrosation and chemiluminescent detection of the eliminated nitric oxide. Appropriate procedures substantially reduce the 'system response' to the denitrosating agent, so that N-nitroso group contents down to 10 micrograms/kg can be measured on a one-gram sample. Using N-nitrosamine standards added to beer, the coefficients of variation are approximately 10% and 5% at N-nitroso contents of 19 and 94 micrograms/kg, respectively. In cured meats, the coefficient of variation for unidentified N-nitroso compounds is 26% for a 0.3-g sample containing 600 micrograms/kg. Some interference from non-nitroso compounds is possible, but, in some commodities at least, these interfering compounds are not detectable. Conditions have been established that allow measurement of N-nitrosoamino acids in foods using a high-pressure liquid chromatograph interfaced to a Thermal Energy Analyzer, without the need for prior derivatization. After extraction of lipids with hexane, nitrosoamino acids are extracted with ethyl acetate and subjected to appropriate clean-up stages prior to high pressure liquid chromatography on Microbondapak CN with a hexane:ethanol:acetic acid mobile phase and Thermal Energy Analyzer detection. Recoveries from cured meat are in the 55-75% range for N-nitrososarcosine, N-nitrosoproline and N-nitrosohydroxyproline; elution is complete within seven minutes.

Gel permeation system for removal of fats during analysis of foods for residues of pesticides and herbicides.
A gel permeation chromatography system has been developed for the rapid cleanup of fatty foods in the analysis for pesticide residues. The narrow elution bands of fats and pesticides coupled with the ease of evaporating the eluting solvent makes this system efficient because of the savings in time and solvents. This system allows a wide range of compounds including organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides, industrial chemicals, herbicides, carbamates, and drugs to elute in the cleaned-up fraction.

Nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis--its applicability in the analysis of food, pharmaceuticals and biological fluids.
The use of nonaqueous electrophoresis media for the application of capillary electrophoresis in the analysis of food, pharmaceuticals and biological fluids is reviewed. Some of the applications are discussed in detail and the benefits of using nonaqueous media in these cases are outlined. Three new applications within pharmaceutical analyses are presented. In these methods either a simple sample pretreatment by dilution with methanol (determination of chlorhexidine in a cream) or selective on-line capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (methods for identification of seizure drugs or opium alkaloids) are used. The choice of organic solvents and electrolytes for nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis are discussed. Furthermore, validation data obtained using capillary electrophoresis based on the nonaqueous principle are listed and discussed.
