Contamination with 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA) was found during studies by Würzburg University in 28 out of 35 samples of baby food and fruit juices for infants . The contamination stemmed from the lids of jars and bottles in which the foods and fruit juices had been packed. Salts of 2-ethylhexanoic acid are used as stabilisers during the production of sealing compounds in order to render the ...

It is essential to take special care throughout the entire process of manufacturing foods for young children, as the fragility of them requires an increased safety. A contaminant is an impurity; any material of an extraneous nature associated with a chemical, a pharmaceutical preparation, a physiologic principle, or an infectious agent. Food consumption is an important route of human exposure t...

Objective: Evaluate if a two-day course for parents on nutrition and applied baby food preparation had an effect on child's intake of home-made foods, lipid concentration, and vitamin D status. Design: Randomized controlled trial at age 6 months and follow-up at ages 15 and 24 months. Setting: Four health care clinics in Kristiansand, Norway. Subjects: Thirty-nine pairs of 6-month-old children ...

Despite common belief, Baby Boomers form a sizable population of gamers.

a fast and simple modified quechers extraction method was developed for determination of benzo[a]pyrene (bap) in 137 traditional (sangak), semi-industrial (sangak) and industrial bread samples using spiked calibration curves by gc/ms. sample preparation includes extraction of bap into acetone followed by cleanup with dispersive solid phase extraction. the limit of detection and limit of quantif...

A method based on liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the analysis of acrylamide in baby foods. The sample preparation involves a simple extraction process using mixture acetonitrile:water:formic acid (69:30:1, v/v/v) combination with dispersive solid-phase (d-SPE) alumina as sorbent. shown good linearity within range 20–250 μg kg−1 t...
