Abstract

In the recent years, the global market of plant-based beverages consumed as milk alternatives has grown consistently. Plant-based beverages may be exposed to chemical and microbiological contamination through different steps of the production chain. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential chemical and microbiological contamination of plant-based beverages available on the Italian market and produced from soy, oat, almond and rice raw materials. To this purpose the occurrence of pesticides, mycotoxins, toxic trace elements and tropane alkaloids was assessed in 42 plant-based beverages. The presence of Bacillus cereus was tested to evaluate the microbiological contamination. None of the analyzed samples were affected by the contamination with pesticides and mycotoxins. Lead was quantified in 3 soy-based, 3 almond-based and one oat-based sample. Cadmium was detected in one rice and 7 soy-based samples. The presence of quantifiable levels of arsenic was detected in all the analyzed rice-based beverages. All samples contained quantifiable concentrations of chromium and nickel. Atropine was detected in 3 soy-based samples. The present preliminary survey reveals the occurrence of multiple contaminants, particularly in soy-based beverages, and opens up the need for further investigations concerning the potential contribution of these products to the exposure to chemical contaminants.

植物奶替代品:评估意大利市场上大豆、燕麦、大米和杏仁饮料中出现的化学和微生物污染物
近年来,作为牛奶替代品消费的植物饮料的全球市场持续增长。植物饮料可能会在生产链的不同环节受到化学和微生物污染。本研究旨在调查意大利市场上以大豆、燕麦、杏仁和大米为原料生产的植物饮料可能受到的化学和微生物污染。为此,对 42 种植物饮料中的杀虫剂、霉菌毒素、有毒微量元素和托烷生物碱进行了评估。此外,还检测了蜡样芽孢杆菌的存在,以评估微生物污染情况。所分析的样品均未受到农药和霉菌毒素污染的影响。在 3 个大豆、3 个杏仁和 1 个燕麦样品中定量检测到了铅。在 1 个大米样本和 7 个大豆样本中检测到了镉。在所有分析的大米饮料中都检测到了可定量的砷。所有样本都含有可量化的铬和镍。在 3 个大豆饮料样本中检测到了阿托品。本初步调查显示了多种污染物的存在,尤其是在大豆饮料中,因此有必要进一步调查这些产品对接触化学污染物的潜在影响。
