Abstract

CALDERON GIRALDO, Jeniffer. A revision on acrylamide aspects: formation, quantification, mitigation and future considerations. Rev. P+L [online]. 2015, vol.10, n.1, pp.119-134. ISSN 1909-0455.

Acrylamide is a synthetic monomer used in several industrial applications, especially in water treatment. In April 2002, Swedish researchers reported not only its presence in food subjected to thermal treatments, but also its possible neurotoxic and cancerous effects. Since then, its quantities in food, its formation mechanisms, its metabolic ways, quantification methods and mitigation strategies are being studied by governmental entities and academics, as it is considered a public health hazard.

Keywords : Acrilamyde; formation mechanisms; toxicity; metabolism; analytic methodologies.
