Resumen:
Food processing contaminants (FPCs) form a wide group of chemicals that are generated during different cooking practices. This study was aimed at determining the levels of a number of FPCs (i.e., acrylamide, furans, monochloropropanediols (MCPDs) and glycidyl esters (GEs)) in foodstuffs purchased in Catalonia (Spain), and assessing the human exposure for different population groups. The dietary intake of acrylamide for the adult population was estimated in 2.91 mu g/day, while that of furan, 2-methylfurans and 3-methylfurans was 4.32, 7.35 and 0.439 mu g/day, respectively. Finally, the exposure to 3-MCPD, 2-MCPD, 3-MCPD esters, 2-MCPD esters and GEs through food consumption was estimated in 0.657, 0.529, 10.7, 5.15 and 8.81 mu g/day, respectively. The risk assessment showed that there is a health concern for developing neoplastic effects derived from the intake of acrylamide for all the population groups. In addition, toddlers and infants would exceed the threshold values of 3-MCDP and GEs. The global analysis of these results indicates that a special attention should be paid to the youngest population groups in Catalonia, reinforcing the need of conducting periodical monitoring studies and developing policy measures, especially focused on foodstuffs highly consumed by toddlers, infants and children.
