In this study, a method for simultaneous determination of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in paper-based food packaging was validated. The paper samples were extracted with ethanol/water (1 : 1, v/v) mixture at 70°C for 2 h by using an incubator shaker. The extracts were passed through 0.2 μm filters before LC-MS/MS analysis. The method detection limit and method quantification limit of both PFOA and PFOS were 0.1 and 0.3 ng/g, respectively. Correlation coefficients > 0.99 were obtained over concentration ranges from 0.3 to 10 ng/mL. The method recovery ranged from 100 - 106% with good repeatability (RSD < 5%). The method was applied to analyze 23 paper samples, however, PFOA and PFOS were not detected in any of these samples.

In this study, ethylene oxide (EO), a fumigant for agricultural products, and its metabolite (2-chloroethanol, 2-CE), were extracted by QuEChERS method, and then quantified by GC-MS/MS system. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and cleaned up with a mixture of dispersive solid phase extraction (d-SPE), including MgSO4, PSA, C18 and GCB, within less than 20 min. The method has been validated on spices, oils, noodle, and food packaging. The results show that this method was high accuracy and precision at spike concentrations, with recovery ranged from 80 to 120%, and RSD lower than 20%. The limit of quantification was 0.01 mg/kg for both compounds, meeting the European (EU) maximum residue limit (MRL) at 0.01 mg/kg. This method has been applied to control the production of instant noodles, with 125 samples of ingredients (seasoning, dried vegetables, oil, flour, food packaging), instant noodles and other food. Among them, 13 ingredients detected 2-CE, and 1 spice detected both compounds, accounting for 11.2%. All 14 samples exceeded the EU MRL.

Currently, solid phase extraction (SPE) with immunoaffinity columns is applied in most standardized methods for mycotoxin determination to purify extracts and analysis by HPLC-FLD, HPLC-UV/VIS or LC-MS/MS. Therefore, sample preparation and analysis by instruments are time-consuming and high operating costs. The novel method allow simultaneously identify nine mycotoxin compounds with selective, stable and accurate results. The new method has been evaluated through three stages including validation as requirements of CEN/TR 16059:2010 (phase 1), comparison with current standard methods (phase 2), evaluate the method using an interlaboratory comparison program (phase 3). Cereal samples were extracted by QuEChERS and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 0,5 μg/kg for each aflatoxin compound and 40 μg/kg, 25 μg/kg, 1 μg/kg, 75 μg/kg for deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, each toxin fumonisin (B1&B2), respectively. The recovery is in the range of 70-120%, relative standard deviation RSD < 20%. The novel method also gives the same results compared to the individual standardized methods, using the immunoaffinity column in the extraction stage. At the present, the method is being evaluated through an interlaboratory comparison program with two rounds: round 1 (for survey) and round 2 (official round), which is expected to be implemented in 2022.

The ability of sorbic acid and cycloheximide to inhibit yeast was investigated on nine yeast strains isolated from different sources. Sorbic acid was added to MRS agar at two concentrations 0.01 g/L (TCVN 5522:1991) and 1.4 g/L (TCVN 7906:2008). The results showed, at both concentrations; the inhibitory effect of sorbic acid on yeast strains was weak. In contrast, the survey results of MRS agar supplemented with cycloheximide with concentration ranges of 0.02; 0.04; 0.06; 0.08; and 0.10 g/L were inhibited yeast strains. The performance testing of MRS agar supplemented with 0.05 g/L of cycloheximide tested with productivity ratio (0.7 ≤ PR ≤ 1.4) and selectivity factor (SF ≥ 2) according to ISO 11133. Therefore, we determined ability to inhibit yeast from cycloheximide was higher than sorbic acid and suggested using MRS agar-supplemented cycloheximide with 0.05 g/L, pH 6.2 (after autoclaving) to establish the quantitative analysis of Lactobacillus spp. by the pouring plate technique, incubated at 37oC ± 1oC for 72 ± 3 hours. In addition, the research results contribute to improving the quantitative analysis of Lactobacillus spp. in order to ensuring the validity of results and providing scientific evidence for decisions on management of effective probiotic quality in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Pesticide residues in the soil are a huge threat to agriculture. ɤ- hexachlorocyclohexan (Lindane or isomer ɤ -HCH) is one of the pesticides widely used in agriculture after 1945. Due to the harmful effects on health of Lindane, UNEP (United Nations Environment) Program - United Nations Environment Program) decided to stop the pollution of Lindane worldwide in 2005. However, with a long half-life, it is very difficult to control residual Lindane in soils. The purpose of this study is to isolate and select actinomycete strains capable of degrading Lindane in order to develop a biological product that can remove residual Lindane in agricultural soil in a safe and environmental-friendly manner. Basic actinomycete isolation methods have been applied in combination with a number of oriented isolation methods to evaluate the growth ability of actinomycetes on media with and without Lindane. The ability to degrade Lindane of actinomycetes was also evaluated based on the rate of chloride ion removal in the substrate. The remarkable actinomycetes were then studied for biological characteristics such as morphology, biochemical and physiological properties, and some metabolic activities related to the degradation of Lindane. We obtained 9 actinomycetes capable of decomposing Lindane isolated from soil samples in farms in Nghe An. Among them, the two strains A119 and LD02 belonging to the genus Streptomyces displayed the best Lindane degradation performance based on their chloride ion removals. They were further studied for their biological characteristics and eventually identified.

Ethylene oxide (EO) is a gas used in some countries as a fungicide, bactericide, and insecticide in food. The lack of uniformity in EO regulations worldwide resulted in many products being placed on the market and used by consumers at the time the recall notice was issued, causing damage to business and consumers. Therefore, it is very important for enterprises to implement risk-based assessment and management. This report provides control method and analysis results of EO residue testing data in raw materials at CJ Foods Vietnam during the period from August 2021 to the end of July 2022. Since then, recommendations for Vietnamese regulations and businesses in controlling EO have been made.

Currently, plastic and microplastic pollution have become a common problem in many countries around the world, especially in developing countries, including Vietnam. Salt is the main ingredient in most of the spices used, but microplastic contamination has also been reported in seasalt samples in Vietnam. This paper presents the observation results of microplastic concentrations in some spice-salt samples that were purchased in the market in Hanoi, Viet Nam. The analysis results showed that the microplastic concentrations in the spice-salt samples varied in a wide range, from 320 to 1880 items/kg spice-salt. Microplastic fibers accounted for the majority (99%), whereas fragment forms accounted for a negligible proportion (1%). Microplastics were observed with a wide variety of colors, of which blue, red, and black were predominant. The results contribute to assessing the level of microplastic contamination in spice-salts in Hanoi city, Vietnam in order to give warnings and propose solutions to prevent and minimize microplastic contamination in spice-salt, for protecting the health of human consumers.
