The aim of the work was to estimate the degree of aluminum leakage from aluminum foil during baking process of selected food/meals. The experiment included 11 different types of food (Atlantic salmon Salmo salar, mackerel Scomber scombrus, duck breasts, cheese Hermelín, tomato, paprika, Carlsbad dumplings, pork roast, pork neck, chicken breasts, and chicken thighs) baked both marinated and not marinated. The aluminum content was measured by AAS and ICP/MS methods. The highest aluminum increase was observed in the samples of marinated Salmo salar (41.86 ± 0.56 mg/kg), Scomber scombrus (49.34 ± 0.44 mg/kg), and duck breast (117.26 ± 1.37 g/kg). The research was also supported by the survey that consisted of 784 respondents with different sociodemographic characteristics. The study clearly showed the occurrence of aluminum contamination of food when it is prepared by baking in aluminum foil. It cannot be concluded that aluminum leakage will occur with each type of food. The aluminum contents found among investigated samples are not alarming, though the increase was measured up to 40 times. On the other hand, revealed aluminum contents can represent a risk for younger/smaller children and for individuals with diagnosed certain ailments.

Binding and Expression Target Analysis (tool)

RRID:SCR_005396

A software package that integrates ChIP-seq of transcription factors or chromatin regulators with differential gene expression data to infer direct target genes. BETA has three functions: (1) to predict whether the factor has activating or repressive function; (2) to infer the factor''''s target genes; and (3) to identify the motif of the factor and its collaborators which might modulate the factor''''s activating or repressive function. BETA requires ~2GB RAM and 1h for the whole procedure. BETA may run on the web server at Cistrome or may be downloaded.
