Mycotoxins contamination is a real concern worldwide due to their high prevalence in foods and high toxicity; therefore, strategies that reduce their gastrointestinal bioaccessibility and absorption are of major relevance. The use of dietary fibers as binders of four mycotoxins (zearalenone (ZEA), deoxynivalenol (DON), HT-2, and T-2 toxins) to reduce their bioaccessibility was investigated by in vitro digestion...
Acrylamide (AA) is a food contaminant with serious health effects. In this work, the addition of dietary fibre was proposed to mitigate AA in cookies and to reduce bioaccesibility in the gastrointestinal trac. The analytical methodology applied for AA quantification was based on solid-liquid extraction (SLE) followed by gas chromatography (GC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). Preliminar results with commercia...
