Contaminant acrylamide in food: toxicity, detection methods, mitigation measures and risk assessment for humans

2021

Food safety is related to all aspects of human life, and the quality of food has a profound impact on people's lives and health. Acrylamide is a chemical pollutant produced by the Maillard reaction in baked goods such as potato chips, bread, and cookies. Studies have shown that acrylamide has neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, genotoxicity, and hepatosplenic toxicity in humans. However, the carcinogenicity of acrylamide in humans is still controversial, and it is unclear whether there is a significant correlation between human exposure to acrylamide and cancer incidence. This review aims to explore the latest research on the human health hazards of acrylamide and prevent or reduce the hazards of acrylamide to humans by detection methods, risk assessment, and mitigation measures to ensure people's food safety.
