Exposure Scenarios for Estimating Contaminant Levels in Healthy Sustainable Die...
Ramos, H; Reis-Mendes, A; Silva, M; Ribeiro, M; Araújo, AM; Borges, C; Viegas, Olga; Melo, A; Martins, Z; Faria, MA; Ferreira, IMPLVO<jats:p>Consumers are regularly exposed to well-known food contaminants (FCs), which are typically assessed for risk on an individual basis. However, there is limited knowledge about the overall levels and combinations of these compounds depending on dietary choices. The goal of this study was to estimate the real-life mixtures of FCs in different dietary models by integrating extensive data from the scientific...
From data to insight: Exploring contaminants in different food groups with lite...
Martins, E; Ramos, H; Araújo, AM; Silva, M; Ribeiro, M; Melo, A; Mansilha, C; Viegas, Olga; Faria, A; Ferreira, MPLVOFood remains a major source of human exposure to chemical contaminants that are unintentionally present in commodities globally, despite strict regulation. Scientific literature is a valuable source of quantification data on those contaminants in various foods, but manually summarizing the information is not practicable. In this review, literature mining and machine learning techniques were applied in 72 foods ...
Chemical characterization and in vitro cyto- and genotoxicity of ‘legal high’ p...
Oliveira, AS; Fraga, S; Carvalho, F; Araújo, AM; Pereira, CC; Teixeira, JP; de Lourdes Bastos, M; de Pinho, PGKratom is a popular ‘legal high’ mainly constituted by alkaloids extracted from the Mitragyna speciosa plant with mitragynine (MG) as the dominant active substance. The increasing use of Kratom for recreational purposes has alerted risk assessment bodies of the lack of information on the real composition and its potential health risks. The present study aimed to determine and compare the MG composition of 13 co...
