Abstract
Acrylamide is a carcinogenic and neurotoxic compound defined as a heat treatment process contaminant. Due to its health concern, acrylamide formation needed to be minimized. The objective of this study is to examine how much acrylamide is contained in dried almonds (Prunus dulcis), hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), pistachios (Pistacia vera), peanuts (Arachishypogaea), sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) as well as pumpkin seeds (Cucurbita pepo) that have been cultivated via organically-certified and conventional processes. Frequently and regularly-consumed nuts - comprising 180 samples that have been cultivated via organically-certified and conventional processes - were studied with UHPLC-MS/MS approach in Turkey. Substantial disparities were statistically found (P
