Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) represent a category of persistent organic pollutants that pose a global concern in the realm of food safety due to their recognized carcinogenic properties in humans. Food can be contaminated with PAHs that are present in water, air, or soil, or during food processing and cooking. The wide and varied sources of PAHs contribute to their persistent contamination of food, leading to their accumulation within these products. As a result, monitoring of the levels of PAHs in food is necessary to guarantee the safety of food products as well as the public health. This review paper attempts to give its readers an overview of the impact of PAHs on crops, their occurrence and sources, and the methodologies employed for the sample preparation and detection of PAHs in food. In addition, possible directions for future research are proposed. The objective is to provide references for the monitoring, prevention, and in-depth exploration of PAHs in food.

[PMID: 37783124 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/25/2023] [Indexed: 10/04/2023]
Abstract
For the first time, a simple, quick, sensitive, and low cost method for quantification of perchlorate in honey using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was developed. Through freezing-assisted sugaring-out liquid-liquid extraction, one-step simultaneous extraction and clean-up of perchlorate from honey were perfectly achieved. Glucose and fructose, the most abundant sugars in honey, were almost completely removed from the extract without use of any clean-up materials. Under optimum conditions, the proposed approach exhibited satisfactory linearity, negligible matrix effects, and low detection limit of 0.05 µg/kg, providing recoveries of 96.7 %-102.3 % with relative standard deviation of < 9 % for honey samples. The validated method was applied to the analysis of perchlorate in 36 honey samples, and detection rate was 94.4 %. This work provided a simple and reliable method for extensive monitoring of perchlorate in honey and opened- up new insights for analysis of contaminants in honey matrixes.

Abstract
In the present study, the optimal experimental conditions were determined by optimizing the effect of extraction solvent types and volume, salt types and concentration, centrifugation speed and time using one variable at a time. Under optimal experimental conditions, calibration curves were constructed separately using water and apple juice samples as representative matrices, and good linearities were achieved over a wide concentration range of 0.2-1600 ng L-1 with a coefficient of determination (r2) ≥ 0.998. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ), determined to be 3 and 10 times the signal-to-noise ratios (S/N), were between 0.07-3.9 and 0.2-12.0 ng L-1 for water samples and 2.6-10.0 and 8.0-30.0 ng L-1 for the apple juice sample respectively. The precisions study showed %RSD values of ≤6% for both matrices, indicating satisfactory precisions. The enrichment factors and recoveries of the proposed method ranged from 41.4-74.5 and 86-109% respectively. The proposed method could be used as a simple and environmentally friendly alternative for the analysis of OCPs from environmental and food matrices. This method potentially offers a more sustainable and effective approach to monitoring OCPs in environmental and food products. Its use in the analysis of apple juice samples is particularly novel and can provide valuable insights into pesticide contamination in fruit juices.

Abstract
In this work, a novel analytical methodology for the extraction and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives, nitrated (NPAH) and oxygenated (OPAH), in bee honey samples was developed. The extraction approach resulted in being straightforward, sustainable, and low-cost. It was based on a salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry determination (SALLE-UHPLC-(+)APCI-MS/MS). The following figures of merit were obtained, linearity between 0.8 and 500 ng g-1 for NPAH and between 0.1 and 750 ng g-1 for OPAH compounds, coefficients of determination (r2) from 0.97 to 0.99. Limits of detection (LOD) were from 0.26 to 7.42 ng g-1 for NPAH compounds and from 0.04 to 9.77 ng g-1 for OPAH compounds. Recoveries ranged from 90.6% to 100.1%, and relative standard deviations (RSD) were lower than 8.9%. The green assessment of the method was calculated. Thus, the Green Certificate allowed a classification of 87 points. This methodology was reliable and suitable for application in honey samples. The results demonstrated that the levels of nitro- and oxy-PAHs were higher than those reported for unsubstituted PAHs. In this sense, the production chain sometimes transforms foods as direct carriers of contaminants to consumers, representing a concern and demonstrating the need for routine control.

Abstract
Miniaturized and simplified sample preparation methods with reduced consumption of chemicals and non-halogenated solvents are presented for the determination of 12 sulfonamides in baby foods. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used for the identification and quantification of the compounds based on the acquisition of full spectrum at high resolution with accurate mass for precursor and its fragment ions. Three miniaturized protocols based on QuEChERS, salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction or low-temperature cleanup were evaluated regarding the extraction efficiency and removal capability of matrix co-extractives. All approaches achieved satisfactory recoveries (70.0-120.0%); however, the miniaturized QuEChERS distinguished by lower co-extractives content in the final extract providing lower matrix effects. Thus, the performance characteristics of the miniaturized QuEChERS were established using different matrices: beef-, egg yolk- and vegetable-based baby food or chicken- and vegetable-based baby food, in compliance with the Codex Alimentarius Commission guidelines. The target compounds were investigated in 30 commercial baby foods.

Abstract
Honey is a popular agricultural product containing mostly sugars and water, but due to its nutritious components and natural production by honeybees (Apis mellifera) from floral nectar, it is marketed as a premium health food item. As environmental monitors, honeybees can potentially transfer environmental contaminants to honey. Whilst pesticides can have ubiquitous presence in agricultural and urban areas, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be more prevalent in higher density urban/industrial environments. Australian beehives are customarily located in rural areas/forests, but it is increasingly popular to keep hives in urban areas. This study assessed the levels of environmental contaminants in honeys (n = 212) from Queensland/Australian sources including rural, peri-urban and urban areas. Honey samples were analysed by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS for 53 herbicides, 83 pesticides, 18 breakdown products (for certain pesticides/herbicides) and 33 PAHs and showed low/negligible pesticide, herbicide and PAHs contamination, consistent regardless of honey origins.

Abstract
A novel density-tunable liquid-phase microextraction (DT-LPME) system was developed with high-density deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as extractant and low-density organic solvents as emulsifier and density regulator. DES-rich phase was induced to form in the bottom or in the top by adjusting the emulsifier amount. This system was used to directly extract polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from liquid and solid foods, and the obtained DES-rich phase was easy to be collected for quantification. The method (LPME with HPLC-fluorescence detector) has linearity (R2 > 0.9974), detection limits of 0.6-4.2 ng L-1 for liquid foods and 0.05-0.35 ng g-1 for solid foods, recoveries of 86.2-114.9%, and intra-day/inter-day RSDs below 6.6%. The method was applied to detect PAHs in real samples, and the PAHs residue was found in honey and five solid foods. The DT-LPME method is simple, fast, green and suitable for direct extraction of analytes from both liquid and solid samples.

Abstract
The continuous discharge of diverse chemical products in the environment is nowadays of great concern to the whole world as some of them persist in the environment leading to serious diseases. Several sampling techniques have been used for the characterization of this chemical pollution, although biomonitoring using natural samplers has recently become the technique of choice in this field due to its efficiency, specificity, and low cost. In fact, several living organisms known as biomonitors could accumulate the well-known persistent environmental pollutants allowing their monitoring in the environment. In this work, a review on environmental biomonitoring is presented. The main sampling techniques used for monitoring environmental pollutants are first reported, followed by an overview on well-known natural species used as passive samplers and known as biomonitors. These species include conifer needles, lichen, mosses, bees and their byproducts, and snails, and were widely used in recent research as reliable monitors for environmental pollution.

Abstract
The accumulation and transfer of carcinogens, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in the human body, especially from mother to fetus, has been the subject of many research studies, but the related data are limited and the mechanisms are unknown. This is the first study to investigate the distribution of PAHs in paired samples of maternal blood, placenta tissue, and umbilical cord blood in relation to pregnancy complications. Sixty-four pairs of samples were collected in Kunming, China; 18 were from healthy pregnant women and 46 were from patients with pregnancy complications. The predominant PAHs in these pregnant women were high-molecular-weight (HMW) compounds, mainly from the incomplete combustion or pyrolysis of biomass. In the control group, the total amount of HMW compounds (ΣHMWPAHs) was significantly higher in maternal blood than in umbilical cord blood, which suggested that placenta may decrease PAH transfer in healthy pregnant women. However, this phenomenon was not observed for low-molecular-weight PAHs or in the case group. In the control group, Σ16PAH and ΣHMWPAH in the placenta were higher than those in maternal blood and umbilical cord blood; for the case group, a contrasting result was observed. ΣHMWPAHs in the placenta was significantly higher in the control group than in the case group. The same results were observed after the exclusion of the impact of the genotypes of the PAH metabolic enzymes (both phase I and phase II enzymes). Thus, the decreased PAH transfer from mother to fetus may partially result from the accumulation of PAHs inside the placenta.

Abstract
In order to assess the air quality in some Lebanese regions, a biomonitoring study based on honey as biomonitor candidate was conducted. For this, 18 samples of honey collected from four regions in Lebanon, were analyzed for their contamination by 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and 22 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Samples were first extracted using a multi-residue extraction method based on the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe extraction method (QuEChERS) followed by a concentration step using Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) procedures. The extraction was then followed by chromatographic analysis by gas chromatography-ion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). After PAHs samples assessment, different ratios of founded PAHs were calculated in order to estimate the sources of the pollution by these compounds. The obtained results showed that the four analyzed regions were contaminated with PAHs originated from both pyro and petro genic sources while none of them was found to be contaminated by any of the 22 assessed PCBs. The results of this study show that honey can be used as potential biomonitor candidate allowing the assessment of the pollution statement of a given environment.

Abstract
A novel method was developed to determine low molecular weight polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in aqueous leachates from soils and sediments using a salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction, synchronous fluorescence spectrometry and a multivariate calibration technique. Several experimental parameters were controlled and the optimum conditions were: sodium carbonate as the salting-out agent at concentration of 2molL-1, 3mL of acetonitrile as extraction solvent, 6mL of aqueous leachate, vortexing for 5min and centrifuging at 4000rpm for 5min. The partial least squares calibration was optimized to the lowest values of root mean squared error and five latent variables were chosen for each of the targeted compounds. The regression coefficients for the true versus predicted concentrations were higher than 0.99. Figures of merit for the multivariate method were calculated, namely sensitivity, multivariate detection limit and multivariate quantification limit. The selectivity was also evaluated and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons did not interfere in the analysis. Likewise, high performance liquid chromatography was used as a comparative methodology, and the regression analysis between the methods showed no statistical difference (t-test). The proposed methodology was applied to soils and sediments of a Brazilian river and the recoveries ranged from 74.3% to 105.8%. Overall, the proposed methodology was suitable for the targeted compounds, showing that the extraction method can be applied to spectrofluorometric analysis and that the multivariate calibration is also suitable for these compounds in leachates from real samples.

Abstract
Biological samples, especially plasma samples, are conventionally stored under freezing conditions to maintain sample integrity prior to the detections of analytes. However, the storage of samples in a low-temperature environment is electric energy consuming, and the preparation of samples prior to analytes detection may be complicated. In this work, an effective and economical method was proposed to freeze-dry the samples using a novel device to allow subsequent storage of samples at ambient temperature. The sample preparations integrated in the new method are simple and easy to follow. Analytes were directly extracted with the extraction agent before sample injections. This new method was validated with quality control (QC) samples of levetiracetam and mycophenolic acid (MPA), and it was also applied to the pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of both drugs in healthy volunteers. When QC samples were stored and prepared with the new method, the detections of analytes were accurate and repeatable, and the analytes maintained stability for a long time. The PK studies of levetiracetam and MPA in healthy volunteers showed that the PK parameters of analytes stored with the new method were consistent with those stored with the conventional method. In conclusion, this effective and economical method is a practical option in reality and can play a big role in clinical and scientific drug researches.

Abstract
A simple and efficient analytical method known as pH- and heat-induced homogenous liquid-liquid extraction combined with high-performance liquid chromatography has been successfully developed for the extraction and determination of neonicotinoid pesticides in aqueous samples. In this method, a few mL of a water-miscible basic extraction solvent is mixed with a high volume of an aqueous phase containing the analytes and passed through a tube which a portion of the tube is filled with sodium carbonate as a separating agent. By passing the solution, salt is dissolved and the fine droplets of the extraction solvent are formed. The produced droplets go up through the remained solution and collect as a separated layer. In the following, the collected organic phase is removed and placed into a micro tube. Then it is heated in a water bath to form two phases. Several experimental parameters that influence extraction efficiency such as type and volume of extraction solvent, type of phase separation agent, temperature, and extraction time were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the extraction recoveries and enrichment factors ranged between 51 and 81% and 680 and 1080, respectively. Calibration curves showed a high-level of linearity for all target analytes with coefficients of determination ranging between 0.997 and 0.999. The repeatability of the proposed method expressed as relative standard deviation varied between 3 and 5% (n=6, C=50μgL(-1)), and the detection limits were in the range of 0.52-1.0μgL(-1). Finally, the performance of the method was evaluated by analyzing the selected pesticides in different fruit juice and vegetable samples.
