Abstract:
... A total of 101 samples of beer from the Chinese market were analysed for the presence of aflatoxin B ₁ (AFB ₁) and sterigmatocystin (STC), using methods based on liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. The limit of quantification and the limit of detection in beer were 0.1 and 0.03 µg/kg, respectively. Recoveries of AFB ₁ and STC from spiked beer samples were 97.8–103.6% and 92.7–102.1%, r ...

Abstract:
... Levels of the heavy metals arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) were determined in rice samples imported from India and Pakistan and marketed in Torbat-Heidarieh, Iran. To assess the safety of dietary intake of these metals by rice, the estimated weekly intake (EWI) was calculated and compared with the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI). The results indicated that mean values for Pb an ...
