This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WHO published in 2020 a comprehensive protocol for measuring and monitoring industrially produced trans-fatty acids (TFA), intended to serve as a reference method that is globally applicable for surveillance and monitoring of TFA content for different types of foods. Although this WHO reference protocol was successfully implemented in several laboratories worldwide, some laboratories, especially those operating on a tight budget, had difficulties adopting it. To address the above challenges, WHO held a two-day, virtual WHO expert consultation meeting on 27 and 30 June 2022 to discuss simplified procedures and other suitable alternatives that enable laboratories operating with limited resources to conduct fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis. Based on this expert consultation, the WHO Laboratory Protocol – Simplified protocol for measuring trans-fatty acids content as a percentage of total fatty acids in food products was developed. This fit-for-purpose protocol provides the data that are required for governments’ surveillance and monitoring activities to check the trend of TFA content in food products on the market and ensure that food products comply with regulations for TFA elimination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trans fatty acids (TFAs) have been used for many years to impart desirable physical characteristics to fats and fat blends used in food manufacturing. However, clinical trials and epidemiological studies conducted over the last thirty years have shown that TFAs can increase “bad” cholesterol levels in the blood while reducing “good” cholesterol. Accordingly, they are also linked with increased risks of coronary heart disease, thrombosis and strokes. For this reason, the food industry has been obliged to find alternatives to TFAs, thus enabling it to meet the presumed consumer demand for “low” or “no” trans fats products. The issue is becoming more and more pressing. For example, US labelling regulations now require that food manufacturers state the trans fat content of their products on the packaging. This book provides an overview of trans fatty acids in oils and fats used in food manufacture. Topics covered include: the chemistry and occurrence of TFAs; analytical methods for determining the fatty acid composition including TFAs of foods; processing techniques for reducing, minimising or even avoiding the formation of TFAs; TFA alternatives in food; health and nutrition concerns and legislative aspects. It is directed at chemists and technologists working in edible oils and fats processing and product development; food scientists and technologists; analytical chemists and nutritionists working in the food industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elimination of industrially-produced trans-fatty acids (TFA) from the global food supply by 2023 is a key target of the GPW13. Assessing and monitoring TFA content in the food supply and changes in TFA consumption in the population is one of the key action areas for countries in order to eliminate TFA. A two-day WHO expert consultation was held in Geneva Switzerland on 11 – 12 October 2018 to review and discuss the draft REPLACE “A” module, and draft protocols, and agree on approaches for TFA assessment in food and blood plasma. The consultation brought together 17 TFA experts from 14 countries, representing five of the six WHO regions. This is the meeting report of the expert consultation. The target audiences include policy makers, academic institutions and laboratories conducting TFA assessment.

Milligan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutritional labels often under report trans-fat content. Due to the health problems associated with consumption of trans-fats, efforts must be made to ensure careful monitoring and enforcement of current guidelines. Recent FDA press releases indicate that trans-fat will be removed from the GRAS substances list in the near future. If such regulation were to be enacted, it would effectively act as a ban on all trans-fats in food. The objective of this study was to isolate and quantify trans-fat content in a variety of local food products reporting some level of trans-fat in the product and approximate the prevalence of misrepresentation of trans-fat levels across several types of foods. Isolation of trans-fatty acids from locally obtained food products was achieved using AOAC Official Method 2000.10 and analysis was performed using the Cary 630 portable FTIR. A standard curve was constructed using trielaidin at varying concentrations. Isolated trans-fats from 40 food products were analyzed; three replicates were run for each product. Spectral data examined using partial least squares regression (PLSR) showed very good correlations (R2; > 0.998) for models produced using both spectrometers. Portable ATR-MIR spectrometers allow for increased flexibility in set up and use while retaining the traditional benefits of FTIR spectroscopy such as rapid throughput, high sensitivity, and large amounts of data per second, making it ideal for regulatory applications and well suited to quality control applications.

Download or read book Update on Trans Fatty Acids and Health written by Great Britain. Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition and published by Stationery Office Books (TSO). This book was released on 2007 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current guideline for the consumption of trans fatty acids (trans FA) is that they should not exceed 2% of food energy. Due to health concerns, the Food Standards Agency was asked to consider the case for a reduction in this recommendation to less than 1% and the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition has thus tasked with examining recent scientific evidence on the health effects of trans FA. It concludes that there is consistent evidence to support a moderate effect of trans FA on increasing the risk of coronary heart disease but evidence related to other diseases is limited and no reliable risk assessment can be made. There is however no firm scientific basis for a change in the current recommendation of not exceeding 2% of food energy. There is also insufficient evidence to justify the differentiation of trans FA from vegetable oil and animal sources.
