Abstract
Tropane alkaloids occur in many plant families and their toxic effects can cause mild symptoms or even death, depending on the dose. They are most commonly introduced into the human body through contamination, misuse or deliberate abuse due to their intoxicating effects. They are present in food for general consumption, sometimes causing documented poisoning, due to inadequate cleaning of cereals, pulses or other grain crops, but especially organic products produced without chemicals. The EU legislation published in 2021 set tolerances for tropane alkaloids for a relatively wide range of plant materials, and therefore consistent compliance with the regulation will reduce the food safety risk from tropane alkaloid contamination, although food poisoning incidents in recent years have highlighted the need to broaden the range of food substances covered.
期刊介绍：
The main topics, which we are waiting to issue in our paper, are the next:
Chemical food and feed analysis (ingredients, macro-, mezo- and micro components, harmful pollutants, processing by-products etc.);
General food and feed chemistry related to several food and feed processing technologies;
Food and feed toxicology;
Relation between the agro technology and the food chain safety;
Microbiological food and feed analysis (pathogens, spoilage bacteria, general food/feed microbiology, microorganisms of several processing technologies etc.);
Rapid food and feed test methods (“classical” and instrumental technologies);
Molecular biological food and feed analysis (GMOs, GMO analysis etc.)
Effects of genetically modified organisms on the entire food chain and the environment;
Sensorial food and feed analysis;
Investigation of non-food products (mainly several disinfectants, production aids);
Investigation of food contact materials (migration tests, residual investigations, etc.);
Legislation topics, regulation of the whole food chain on the territory of food and feed processing, retailing, distribution (European, Hungarian, other countries);
Standardisation news and comments on the topics of whole food chain;
Other topics, results of investigations etc. (the Editorial Board keeps the right to measure the manuscripts arriving to the Editorial Office according to the principles of the journal).
