  7. Hot topic: Bisphenol A in cow milk and dietary exposure at the farm level

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Chemical hazards may enter the milk chain during primary production. The study, for the first time, investigated the occurrence of bisphenol A (BPA) levels in cow milk samples collected on the farm following manual or mechanical milking and from the cooling tank. We applied a new monitoring model based on the identification of the hazards at each stage of the milk chain to identify potential pathways for contamination along the milk chain.

  16. [ASAP] Simultaneous Extraction of Pesticides and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Brazilian Cachaça Using a Modified QuEChERS Method Followed by Gas Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry Quantification

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A modified QuEChERS method was optimized for simultaneous extraction of 93 pesticides and 6 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in cachaça. The procedure employed 20 mL of sample, 10 mL of dichloromethane, 1 g of NaCl, and 6 g of MgSO4. The methods were validated in accordance with pesticide tolerances set by the National Health Surveillance Agency of Brazil and government guidelines of Brazil and the European Union.

  17. [ASAP] Sodium Hydrosulfide Mitigates Cadmium Toxicity by Promoting Cadmium Retention and Inhibiting Its Translocation from Roots to Shoots in Brassica napus

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The association between hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and cell wall composition with regard to the mitigation of cadmium (Cd) toxicity in Brassica napus L. was investigated. Cd caused growth retardation, leaf chlorosis, and decreased endogenous H2S content in Brassica napus roots. Stimulating l-cysteine desulfhydrase (LCD)-mediated H2S production with H2S releaser (NaHS) markedly improved plant growth, reduced Cd content in stems and leaves, and rescued Cd-induced chlorosis.
