Study Notes
Adulteration in Food
- Adulterants can be added intentionally or unintentionally to cheaper products to enhance quantity or reduce production costs.
- Common adulteration involves blending vegetable fats with lard, particularly in countries where cost is a concern.
- Food products like shortening and margarine may contain both lard and vegetable oils.
Food Safety Issues in South Korea
- Reckitt Benckiser's humidifier sterilizer resulted in 178 cases of lung injuries and deaths, affecting hundreds since 2011.
- Claims related to lung ailments connected to these products continue to be registered, totaling 530 complaints.
- Reckitt Benckiser is known for global brands including Dettol and Nurofen.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)
- GMOs are organisms whose genetic material has been altered through genetic engineering, a significant concern in food safety.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Analysis
- FTIR was used to study various edible fats, revealing similarities and differences in spectral peaks.
- Raw FTIR of different animal fats showed distinct intensity ranges, useful for identifying fat sources.
- Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated significant variation among samples, enhancing classification accuracy of fats.
Statistical Methods in Food Analysis
- A combination of PCA, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), and other regression techniques achieved 80.5% accuracy in fat classification.
- PCR and FTIR were compared in analyzing gelatin capsules, highlighting the importance of qualitative techniques for recognizing non-halal ingredients.
Gelatin Capsule Analysis
- Gelatin samples were extracted and analyzed using real-time PCR, with specific results indicating the presence of porcine or bovine DNA.
- Concentrations of porcine and bovine DNA were measured in various samples, demonstrating a range of Ct values, which are inversely related to DNA concentration.
Chemical Analysis Techniques
- Spectral peaks from FTIR were used for quantification of gelatin capsules, with certain wavenumbers showing significant contributions to the overall data.
- Analysis techniques included Savitzky-Golay smoothing and normalization to improve data clarity for chemometric applications.
Challenges in Food Processing
- Significant concerns arise regarding the potential contamination and adulteration of non-halal components in food production.
- Understanding and detecting these adulterants are critical for maintaining food safety and consumer trust.
