Abstract

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by various fungi. A very important category of mycotoxins are aflatoxins, considered to be the most dangerous in humans. Aflatoxin B, well known as a favorable factor in the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma in humans, is the most controversial of all mycotoxins. Aflatoxins, found in naturally contaminated food, are resistant to degradation by heat. Current food processing practices and conventional storage conditions do not completely eliminate aflatoxin contamination from the food supply chain. Long storage food products-such as peanuts, pistachio, nuts in general, and dried fruits-are susceptible to aflatoxins contamination. The type of plastic material can influence the concentration of aflatoxins during storage due to the permeability to gas and moisture exchange with the external milieu. Nuts in general and dried fruits are consumed in large quantities worldwide. Therefore, herein we investigated the effect of plastic material on the total aflatoxins and aflatoxin B content in 64 samples of nuts and dried fruits packed and stored in low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The method consisted in a cleanup procedure using immunoaffinity columns coupled with RIDASCREEN FAST immunoenzymatic competitive assays based on the ELISA technique. Collected data were subjected to statistical analysis and multiple comparisons tests were applied. From the total analyzed samples, 14.06% exceeded the maximum admitted European levels for total aflatoxins. The highest concentrations of total aflatoxins were obtained from samples packed in LDPE, followed by PP, PE, and PET. Aflatoxin B was detected in all samples packed in LDPE, PP, and PE. Most of the samples packed in PET had concentrations <1 µg/kg. These results indicate that nuts in general packed and stored in LDPE are more prone to contamination with aflatoxins, while PET is more suitable for maintaining the quality and safety of these products.

摘要

霉菌毒素是由各种真菌产生的次生代谢产物。一类非常重要的霉菌毒素是黄曲霉毒素,被认为是对人类最危险的毒素。黄曲霉毒素B是人类肝细胞癌发生的一个重要因素,是所有霉菌毒素中最具争议性的。天然受污染食物中发现的黄曲霉毒素对热降解具有抗性。当前的食品加工方法和传统储存条件并不能完全消除食品供应链中的黄曲霉毒素污染。长期储存的食品,如花生、开心果、一般坚果和干果,容易受到黄曲霉毒素污染。由于塑料材料对气体的渗透性以及与外部环境的水分交换,其类型会影响储存期间黄曲霉毒素的浓度。一般坚果和干果在全球范围内消费量很大。因此,我们在此研究了塑料材料对64份包装并储存在低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)、聚丙烯(PP)、聚乙烯(PE)和聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)中的坚果和干果样品中总黄曲霉毒素和黄曲霉毒素B含量的影响。该方法包括使用免疫亲和柱进行净化程序,并结合基于ELISA技术的RIDASCREEN FAST免疫酶竞争性测定。收集的数据进行了统计分析,并应用了多重比较测试。在所有分析的样品中,14.06%超过了欧洲规定的总黄曲霉毒素最大允许水平。总黄曲霉毒素浓度最高的样品来自用LDPE包装的样品,其次是PP、PE和PET。在所有用LDPE、PP和PE包装的样品中都检测到了黄曲霉毒素B。大多数用PET包装的样品浓度<1 µg/kg。这些结果表明,一般用LDPE包装和储存的坚果更容易受到黄曲霉毒素污染,而PET更适合保持这些产品的质量和安全性。
