Abstract:
Objective: Although the toxicological effects of acrylamide are affirmative with animals, the extrapolation of the conclusion to human can be supported by neither epidemiological results nor the common knowledge about foods in question. There is a strong possibility that the presence of MRPs with acrylamide may alter acrylamide' s toxicological effects. Methods: To test this hypothesis, a preliminary animal test was carried out to investigate the effect of arginine-glucose MRPs on the acrylamide toxicity and a high performance liquid chromatography method was carried out to determine the concentration of acrylamide. The feed intake and vital signs were observed and recorded, through the test, and the body weight, organ coefficients were determined when mice were sacrificed at the end of the test. Results: Remarkable differences in vital signs were observed between acrylamide group and the other groups. While the former suffered from dull fur, reduced feed intake, and fatigue, urinary incontinence, the other groups were similarly normal. A very significant weight loss of -0.66 ± 1.57 g/mouse was recorded with acrylamide group, while(2.30 ± 1.16) to (3.69 ± 2.99)g/mouse weight gain was recorded with the other groups. The liver coefficient decreased to 4.53 ± 0.14 with acrylamide group from 5.13 ± 0.43 to 5.35 ± 0.24 with the other 3 groups with no significant differences in coefficients of other organs. A recovery rate of acrylamide was 72.8% after interacting with MRPs. Conclusions: The presence of the MRPs with acrylamide has apparently brought all the parameters back to the same with the control, and MRPs alone group, implying that the MRPs could neutralized the toxicological effects of acrylamide. The present results indicate a promising approach to solving the puzzle of acrylamide in foods. © 2015, Editorial Office of Journal of CIFST. All right reserved.
