Abstract

Since ancient times, foods have been heat-treated to modify and preserve their organoleptic and nutritional properties for consumption. However, heat treatment can also generate undesired that may exhibit mutagenic and carcinogenic properties, such as heterocyclic amines, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Acrylamide has been added to the list of food-borne toxicants since 2002. Acrylamide is used worldwide to synthesize polyacrylamide and is applied as a soil conditioner, in wastewater treatment, in cosmetics, paper, and textile industries.
