In the world, almost all chicken meat is used in chilled or frozen meat to ensure quality and food hygiene and safety, but in Viet Nam, the habit of using hot chicken meat is still quite common (do not lower the carcass temperature after slaughter, in storing, transporting or consuming), leading to a very high risk of food poisoning from this raw material. The study was conducted to evaluate the quality of cool (chilled) chicken meat of 02 common breeds of chicken raised in Viet Nam, Indian River Meat (coding C2) and Tam Hoang (coding C3), raised at commercial chicken farms, slaughtered and chilled at the factory of 3F Food Co., Ltd (Binh Duong province). Chicken carcasses were chilled down to 0-4°C immediately after slaughter and then cut and packed for transportation at this temperature. This study has developed 19/75 sensory property terms that strongly influence the overall quality of cool chicken meat. The results of evaluating the quality of cool chicken meat at 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 days showed that, in the period from day 1 to day 5, the values of pH, TVB-N, and total aerobic microorganisms (TAM) values of chicken breasts and thighs of both C2 and C3 showed very little variation and were within the allowable limits, respectively. The sensory properties were evaluated not to be inferior to that of freshly slaughtered meat surgery. By day 7, there were signs of quality deterioration, pH, TVB-N, and TAM all exceeded the regulations, and the level of bad sensory properties gradually increased. Thus, chicken meat products in this study should be stored for up to 5 days.

The study aims to evaluate the degree of fat oxidation and the reuse of fried oils in fried meat and fish ball products sold in Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City. The fat content was determined in fried products, as follows: fish balls (15 - 21%), beef balls (11 -14%), and shrimp balls (15 - 23%). Because of the difference in the fat origin of the three types of fried products, the oxidation levels of these products are also different; therefore, this is possible through parameters related to the variation of fat such as acid index, peroxide index, malondialdehyde (MDA) content. The concentration of MDA was the highest in fried fish balls, and the lowest value was in beef balls. After surveying for five consecutive days, the highest concentration of MDA in fried products was obtained in the last days of the cycle (4th day). The acid value in the fried oil samples ranges from 0 - 1 mg, the peroxide index from 2 - 5.78 meq/kg, and the concentration of MDA ranges from 0.22 - 2.98 µmol/L. A combination of results of the degree of fat oxidation in fried meat and fish ball products and frying oils indicates that the sellers reused the oils and tended to renew them every 3 - 4 days.

A sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of 4 compounds used for treating hypertension as adulterants in herbal products. The method was validated in terms of selectivity, linearity, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), limit of quantitation (LOQ), and precision in accordance with AOAC and ICH guidelines. The LOD and LOQ of all compounds were about 0.3 ng/mL and 1 ng/mL, respectively. The linearity was good (R2 > 0.999), with intra-day and inter-day precision levels not more than 9.85% and 8.51%, respectively, and 81.9 – 109.8% accuracies. Thirty commercial herbal products consisting of traditional medicines and dietary supplements available in Vietnamese markets were tested. While none contained detectable amounts of the 4 antihypertensive compounds, the developed LC-MS/MS procedure can be used for routine analysis to monitor illegal adulteration in various forms of herbal products.

The Tinospora sinensis Merr. was ultrasonically extracted using 80% ethanol at a temperature of 50°C. The resulting solution was distilled to remove the solvent under reduced pressure, yielding the extract. The extract was then dissolved in distilled water, and this solution was administered to the experimental mice. The results showed that even at the maximum allowable dose, no mice experienced mortality. The anti-inflammatory effects of Tinospora sinensis Merr. extract were tested in experiments. The results demonstrated that at a dose equivalent to 1.6 g of plant material per kilogram of body weight per day, the extract exhibited acute anti-inflammatory activity in a model of carrageenan-induced foot edema in mice, comparable to a dose of 80 mg/kg body weight per day of aspirin. Additionally, at a dose equivalent to 2.8 g of plant material per kilogram of body weight per day, the extract showed chronic anti-inflammatory effects in a model of amian-induced granuloma in white mice. These findings suggest a novel direction in using plant-derived medicines, specifically the Tinospora sinensis Merr.

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a typical group of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which have been listed under Annex A (Elimination) and Annex C (Unintentional production) of the Stockholm Convention. In this study, a gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and applied to analyze concentrations of 28 PCB congeners in some Vietnamese marine fish samples. PCBs in fish samples were ultrasonically extracted with an acetone/n-hexane (1/1, v/v) mixture. The extracts were cleaned up by using multilayer silica gel columns with dichloromethane/n-hexane (1/1, v/v) as elution solvent. PCBs were separated on a DB-5MS column and quantified by using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The MS detector was operated in positive electron impact ionization (EI) mode and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. Calibration curves of 28 PCBs exhibited good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9998). Instrument detection limits (IDLs) and method detection limits (MDLs) ranged from 0.08 to 0.023 ng/mL and from 0.07 to 1.84 ng/g, respectively. Recoveries of 28 PCBs native and 7 labeled standards in matrix-spike samples ranged from 62.3 to 88.1% and from 75.5 to 91.9%, satisfying criteria proposed by AOAC (recovery 60-115% for 10-100 ppb levels). The validated method was applied to analyze 10 marine fish samples, showing levels of ∑28PCBs from 17 to 851 (mean 230) ng/g lipid. The sum of 6in-PCBs (PCB-28; -52; -101; -138; -153; -180) based on wet weight (w/w) ranged from 1.24 to 3.15 ng/g, which is lower than the maximum level recommended by The European Union (75 ng/g (w/w). Congeners PCB-126 and PCB-169 were not detected in marine fish samples.

Toxic phthalates that can be released from food packaging into food are currently a matter of concern, affecting consumers’ health. However, in Vietnam, no studies have been published on this group of substances in food packaging and films. In this research, a method for the simultaneous determination of 7 typical phthalates, including benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) in food wrap samples by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using internal standards has been developed and validated. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for all substances was 0.03 mg/kg and 0.10 mg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of the method were in the range of 82-105%. Relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 5.6 to 7.5%. The method has been applied effectively to analyze the content of phthalates in 35 food wrap samples that were collected from markets in Hanoi. Analytical results showed that ten samples were detected with phthalates, of which three samples contained DEHA exceeding the specific migration limit (SML). This study contributes to consumer health protection and advises the regulatory agency on the addition of safety regulations for PVC food wrap in particular and other food packaging materials in general.

In this research, a method for the simultaneous determination of 7 typical phthalates, including benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA) in food wrap samples by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) using internal standards has been developed and validated. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for all substances was 0.03 mg/kg and 0.10 mg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of the method were in the range of 82-105%. Relative standard deviation (RSD) ranged from 5.6 to 7.5%. The method has been applied effectively to analyze the content of phthalates in 35 food wrap samples that were collected from markets in Hanoi. Analytical results showed that ten samples were detected with phthalates, of which three samples contained DEHA exceeding the specific migration limit (SML). This study contributes to consumer health protection and advises the regulatory agency on the addition of safety regulations for PVC food wrap in particular and other food packaging materials in general.","PeriodicalId":12896,"journal":{"name":"Heavy metals and arsenic concentrations in water, agricultural soil, and rice in Ngan Son district, Bac Kan province, Vietnam","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89998293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Isocyanate is a common name for chemical compounds containing one or more - NCO groups. There have been many studies showing that isocyanates pose a risk to human health when exposed and can cause occupational poisoning. When absorbed into the body, the isocyanates will be converted into the corresponding amines. Therefore, the determination of these diamines in urine will contribute to the assessment of exposure to isocyanates. This article presents a study on simultaneous determination of 4,4′-methylenedianiline (MDA), hexamethylene diamine (HDA), isophoron diamine (IPDA) in urine by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method detection limit (MDL) were 0.074, 0.059, and 0.053 ng/mL for HDA, MDA, IPDA, respectively. The method quantitation limit (MQL) were 0.243, 0.194 and 0.177 ng/mL for HDA, MDA, IPDA, respectively. The method's recovery ranged from 86.38 to 105.3% with the repeatability RSDr < 6%. The method was successfully applied to simultaneously determine the content of HDA, MDA and IPDA in 30 urine samples of workers at auto repair garages in Bac Ninh province. The results showed that HDA, MDA and IPDA were detected in these samples with different concentrations.
