Article Abstract
The effect of marination on the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in charcoal-grilled vegetables was studied. Various marinade ingredients, including apple cider vinegar, red grape vinegar, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and the food additive -butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) were applied to vegetable samples before charcoal grilling. The total phenolic content (TPC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of each marinade ingredient were assessed for their contribution to PAH inhibition. A substantial decrease in PAH4 formation was observed in marinated vegetables. Red grape vinegar exhibited the strongest average inhibitory effect on total PAH4 formation (75%), followed by apple vinegar (68%), lemon juice (52%), garlic powder (34%), and black pepper (30%). Additionally, the TBHQ (67%) demonstrated a strong inhibitory effect, reducing total PAH4 formation by 67%. These findings offer valuable insights for reducing PAH levels in grilled vegetables and preventing their formation.

A comprehensive review on the formation and mitigation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH4) in edible oils: From oilseeds to oils.

Edible oils are susceptible to contamination by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), particularly PAH4 compounds, which include Benz [a]anthracene, Chrysene, Benzo [b]fluoranthene, and Benzo [a]pyrene, all of which are recognized for their toxic and carcinogenic properties. This review examines the mechanisms underlying the formation of PAH4 in edible oils, with a particular focus on the transformation process from oilseeds to oils. Factors influencing the formation of PAH4 include environmental contamination, the composition of fatty acids, and processing methods such as extraction, refining, and cooking.

Prior research linked polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) formation to lipid oxidation. However, the specific oxidation products responsible for PAHs generation remain unclear. In this study, the thermal reaction systems of linoleic acid (LA)-LA hydroperoxide (LA-OOH) (primary oxidation product) and LA-secondary oxidation product were constructed to compare the effects of LA-OOH and secondary products on PAHs generation.

During domestic grilling, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which include genotoxic and carcinogenic compounds, can be produced as a result of fat pyrolysis, leakage of cellular juices onto the heat source, and incomplete combustion of fuel. This study aimed to assess the formation of PAHs in pork neck cooked using two different grilling methods (traditional flat grill with beech charcoal and asado grill with beech wood flame) under controlled conditions, with cooking stopping at a core temperature of 72 °C. The impact of marinating and cooking speed (fast or slow) was also evaluated over three cooking sessions.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous environmental pollutants posing potential health risks. PAH4 (sum of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), chrysene, benz[a]anthracene and benzo[b]fluoranthene) has been proposed as a marker to evaluate the occurrence of total PAHs. However, toxicity effects of exposure to PAH4 mixture and its toxicity differences with single PAH are little-known.
