The aim of this work was to assume the amount of BPA that can migrate to food packed into the cans coated by epoxy‐phenolic lacquer. The assumption was made by determining the amount of BPA which migrates from the inner can coating to different food simulants: 3% acetic acid, 10% ethanol, their mixture (3% acetic acid +10% ethanol), and 50% ethanol. The examined tinplate cans were made by the special requirements of the Serbian Armed Forces. Further, the effect of the sterilization process and the very initial time of storage (15–105 days), on the level of BPA in the canned meatballs in tomato sauce, which are in the regular use of the Serbian Armed Forces, was examined. The BPA content was determined by the high performance liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS), and compared with BPA content found in the food simulants.

The children with skeletal class III have significantly shorter maxilla than those with skeletal class I.

There were no significant differences in the parameter values on the cranial base between the groups. There was a significant correlation of the main angle of the cranial base with the angles of sagital position of the jaws in the group 1 only.

This work aimed to examine the influence of the storage period on the content of toxic elements (As, Cd, Pb, and Hg), in five types of canned meat products, which are regularly used in the Serbian Armed Forces. Cans of beef goulash (BG), pork ragout (PR), spam (SP), liver pate (LP), and meatballs in tomato sauce (MB), produced according to military standards, and stored under regular conditions (temperature up to max 25 °C and relative humidity up to max 75%), were analyzed in this research. Meat products were made according to the special military requirements, packed in tinplate cans, and stored for up to 6 years. The highest average contents of toxic elements were found to be 10.00 µg/kg for arsenic in BG, 35.91 µg/kg for cadmium in LP, 15.04 µg/kg for mercury in PR, and 8.00 µg/kg for lead in PR. The storage period did not significantly affect the level of toxic elements, although higher concentrations were found in samples stored for more than two years. The influence of raw materials, spices, and additives on the level of toxic elements in some meat products was also examined. None of the samples contained toxic elements at levels exceeding the currently maximum permitted levels. The consumption of this type of food represents a small risk to human health because the exposure of soldiers to toxic elements, calculated as weekly intake, is far below legal PTWI/TWI limits, established by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
