● We now have a global food supply chain making food safety a global concern
● The US imports ~$65 billion of food products
● Food is traveling thousands of miles● Kept in various storage conditions● Have temperature fluctuations● Handled by many people
● The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspects about 1% of the imported foods
● No one global screening standard● Each country has to verify that the imported food is adhering to the
regulations of the countryISO Slide Number
Introduction
This introduces many points for possible contamination
4
Types of Contaminants and Health Risks
● Contaminants may originate from ● Agricultural Sources● Environmental Sources● Food Additives Sources● Food Processing Sources
● Food Contaminants can cause a host of problems● Acute Effects : Mild Rash, Light Headache, Vomiting● Serious Effects: Cancer, Auto-immune diseases, Thyroid problems, Death● Health effects of exposure to contaminants may become apparent after years
of prolonged exposure
5
Agricultural Contaminants
6
Agricultural Chemical Contaminants
● Agricultural chemicals are used to:● Increase crop yields● Control weeds and pests● Prevent disease to crops and livestock
● These chemicals include:● Pesticides● Herbicides● Plant growth regulators● Growth Hormones for livestock● Veterinary drugs/Antibiotics for livestock
7
Agricultural Chemical Contaminants:Pesticides
● Some pesticides that pose severe health and environmental risks have been banned by many countries but are still used in others
● Due to the global supply chain the banned pesticides can appear in our food supply
● The build up of legal pesticides can also pose health risk to humans ● The health risk depends on the type of pesticide and the length of
exposure
8
● Dionex ASE systems can be used for the extraction of:● Organophosphates pesticides● Organochlorides pesticides● Carbamates pesticides
● From solid and semisolid food samples rapidly, and with far less solvent than Soxhlet or sonication

Environmental Contaminants
26
Environmental Contaminants
● Can be natural or man-made ● Are present in water, air & soil● Some are biological byproducts of bacteria or fungi that come into
contact with food● During growth● During storage
27
Environmental Contaminants:Different Types
● Types of environmental contaminants● Mycotoxins● Biogenic Amines ● Perchlorate● Nitrate● Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)● Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)● Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE)● Dioxins● Lead ● Arsenic● Mercury● BADGE
28
Environmental Contaminants:Mycotoxins
● Mycotoxins are mild to fatal poisons produced by fungi● Develop in crops during growth or storage● Symptoms of exposure include
● Allergic reaction● Diarrehea● Nausea ● Kidney damage ● Immunosupression● Nerve damage● Death
● Many of these toxins are carcinogens● Over 400 mycotoxins have been identified ● Based on toxicity and occurrence – Aflatoxins, Zearalenone
Vomitoxin, Fumosinin, Zearalenone and T2 are of major concern
29
Environmental Contaminants:Aflatoxins
● Mycotoxins are mild to fatal poisons produced by fungi● Aflatoxins are produced by the fungus Aspergillus that grows in soil and
decaying vegetation● Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 are highly carcinogenic and regulated in many countries
● Zearalenone can be found in wide variety of plants and soils ● Can have negative health effects in humans and animals
30
Environmental Contaminants:Aflatoxins
● Aflatoxins conventionally extracted by Soxhlet & solid-phase extraction (SPE) Dionex automates these sample prep steps with the ASEDionex automates these sample prep steps with the ASE
● Traditional extraction of Zearalenone from animal feed is done by wrist shaking or blending
● These methods take 30–60 min per sample ● Constant lab technician attendanceASE reduces the extraction time to ~ 15 min per sample & Uses only 25–35 mL of solvent

Environmental Contaminants:Perchlorate
● Perchlorate is a naturally occurring mineral found in nitrate fertilizers● Also a manmade chemical used as an ingredient for
● Rocket propellant● Explosives● Industrial processed like rubber manufacturing
● Perchlorate in irrigation water can build up in crops (lettuce, spinach, melons)
● Health Risks● Interferes with the iodide uptake into the thyroid gland● Can disrupt neurological development in fetuses and children
37
Environmental Contaminants:Perchlorate
●Extraction of perchlorate typically involves high speed blending and ultrasonication extraction
● This is not efficient enough to extract tightly bound ions such as perchlorate from complex vegetation
● Additional cleanup steps, such as solid phase extraction, are also usually required
An ASE system can extract perchlorate from most samples in ~15 minsAdditional cleanup steps are not required when in-cell adsorbants are usedExtraction recoveries from fruits, vegetables, and grains range from 89 to 110% for quantities as low as 10 ppb (ng/g).
38
Environmental Contaminants:Extraction of Perchlorate from Vegetation
● Challenging for sample preparation● Many interferences can be coextracted● EPA method labor intensive and time consuming*
● 20 h for extraction● 20+ h for cleanup
● The Accelerated Solvent Extraction can be used to address labor and time
39
Environmental Contaminants:Perchlorate Sample Prep Options
Off-line Cleanup● Oven-dried samples (5 g) mixed with
diatomaceous earth● Extraction with standard ASE® conditions
● D. I. water, 125 °C, 1500 psi, 17-min total time
● SPE cleanup of extracts with alumina and C18
In-line Cleanup● Oven-dried samples (5 g) mixed with
diatomaceous earth● Samples loaded into cell containing
alumina/C18 in outlet● Extracted with standard ASE conditions
● D. I. water, 125 °C, 1500 psi, 17min total time
● Extracts analyzed without cleanup

41
Environmental Contaminants:Perchlorate Conclusion
● ASE® can be used as a sample extraction/cleanup procedure prior to the determination of perchlorate in soils and plant materials● Alumina/C18 in ASE cell (in-line) can provide clean
extracts ready for analysis● Total time is less than 20 min for extraction and cleanup
● Automation of ASE improves the precision of the analytical scheme and increases sample capacity
● Same ASE instrument can be used for both ionic and nonpolar contaminants
42
Environmental Contaminants:Perchlorate
● Sample prep typically involves high speed blending & ultrasonication● These techniques are not efficient to extract tightly bound ions like
Perchlorate from complex vegetation- Addition SPE is required
● ASE system can extract Perchlorate in 15 mins● Additional clean up steps NOT required with in-cell absorbents usage● Extraction recoveries from fruits, vegetables & grains are from 89-110% as
low as 10ppb (ng/g)● Analysis done on the IC
43
Food Additive Contaminants
44
Food Additive Contaminants
● Chemicals intentionally added to products during the manufacturing process
● Many chemical are added for valid reasons and need to be monitored● To assure that the specifications are being met● To detect for contamination● Labeling purposes due to potential allergic reactions for consumers● Examples: Nitrate, Nitrite, Sulfite, Benzoate
● Adulteration: dangerous or banned substance used for financial gains● Examples: Melamine in pet food
ASE would be ideal for the extraction of food additives from foodstuff
45
Food Processing Contaminants
46
Food Processing Contaminants
● Processing contaminants are generated during the processing of foodstuff● Formed in processes like:
● Disinfection● Fermentation● Heating● Canning ● Grilling
● Examples include:● Acrylamide● PAHs● Oxyhalides● Haloacetic acids
47
Food Processing Contaminants:Acrylamide
● Acrylamide is a genotoxic compound found in fried or baked goods● Produced when asparagine reacts with reducing sugars or carbonyl
compounds● Produced in browning and overcooking ● The Acrylamide content in some samples like hash browns and
French fries can be very high (several mg/kg)
48
Food Processing Contaminants: ASE Extraction of Acrylamide
● Extraction conditions:● Sample size: 10–15 g (33-mL cell)● Oven temperature: 80 °C● Pressure: 1500 psi● Solvent: Acetonitrile (Hexane for defatting)● 3 x 5 min extraction cycles● 40% flush volume● Total extract volume: about 40 mL● Total extraction time: 23 min

Food Processing Contaminants: ASE Extraction of Acrylamide from Hash Brown (shredded fried potatoes)
Procedure Water Added? De-Fatted? Acrylamide (µg/g)
1 No Yes 0.01
1 No No 0.02
2 Yes Yes 0.67
2 Yes No 0.54
3 Yes Yes 0.70
3 Yes No 0.75
50
Food Processing Contaminants: Keys to Successful Extraction of Acrylamide
● Addition of water prior to extraction is important ● ASE® extraction streamlines the sample preparation process ● Defatting with hexane prior to extraction does not appear to remove
acrylamide from sample ● Use of IonPac® ICE-AS1 column eliminates need for SPE ● HPLC/MS method much easier than GC/MSD method ● Up to 24 samples unattended (12 samples with defatting step)
51
Food Processing Contaminants: ASE Extraction of PAHs
● PAH: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons● Carcinogenic● Occur in charbroiled and dried foods & edible oils by pyrolytic processes
such as incomplete combustion of organic substances● PAHs result in foods from baking, frying, grilling, carmelizing● PAHs in food can also occur by environmental contamination
ASE would be ideal for the extraction of PAHs from foodstuff
