In this study, levels of acrylamide in different bread samples obtained from a Turkish market were investigated. Acrylamide contents of the samples were determined by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The samples (n = 43) were commonly consumed, different types of breads, including white wheat bread, stone oven wheat bread, wheat bran bread, rye bread, whole grain bread, and whole wheat bread. Results revealed that the acrylamide contents of the samples show a considerable variation among different types of breads as well as within the same type. Crumb-crust ratio of the samples was also considered during the experiments. The contents of acrylamide in breads ranged from below the limit of quantification to 695 µg kg −1 and the mean acrylamide content was 225 µg kg −1 . The highest mean level of acrylamide was detected in whole wheat bread.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
