  5. Acrylamide Exposure and Risks in Most Frequently Consumed Foods in a Total Diet Study

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • The neurotoxic and carcinogenic nature of acrylamide, coupled with the recent emphasis of the “probable carcinogenic” status of acrylamide is a cause for concern requiring further studies. The objective of this study was to determine the carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks associated with the consumption of frequently consumed foods in a Total Diet Study (TDS).

  6. Integrated Metabolomics and Morphogenesis Reveal Volatile Signaling of the Nematode-Trapping Fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • The adjustment of metabolic patterns is fundamental to fungal biology and plays vital roles in adaptation to diverse ecological challenges. Nematode-trapping fungi can switch their lifestyle from saprophytic to pathogenic by developing specific trapping devices induced by nematodes to infect their prey as a response to nutrient depletion in nature. However, the chemical identity of the specific fungal metabolites used during the switch remains poorly understood.

  13. [ASAP] Rapid Trace Detection and Isomer Quantitation of Pesticide Residues via Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (MALDI-FTICR-MS) has been applied for rapid, sensitive, undisputed, and quantitative detection of pesticide residues on fresh leaves with little sample pretreatment. Various pesticides (insecticides, bactericides, herbicides, and acaricides) are detected directly in the complex matrix with excellent limits of detection down to 4 μg/L.

  23. [ASAP] Validation of a Multiresidue Analysis Method for 379 Pesticides in Human Serum Using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A screening method for simultaneous analysis of 379 pesticides in human serum was developed using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Electrospray ionization with positive/negative switching mode of LC–MS/MS was adopted, and scheduled multiple reaction monitoring for each target compound was established. The limit of quantitation was 10 ng/mL for 94.5% of the total pesticides, and the correlation coefficients of calibration were ≥0.990 for 93.9% of the pesticides.
