市场上发酵菜中亚硝酸盐含量的调查研究

蔬菜发酵主要是多种微生物并存的一种发酵过程,形成亚硝酸盐不可避免。本实验通过对市场上发酵菜中亚硝酸盐含量的调查分析,结果表明：市场上发酵菜中亚硝酸盐的含量依次为辣椒类（30.44mg/kg）〉萝卜类（27.45mg/kg）〉白菜类（26.92mg/kg）〉黄瓜类（14.65mg/kg）。发酵菜均不同程度地含亚硝酸盐,以辣椒类最多,其次是萝卜类和白菜类,含量最少的是黄瓜类。所检测的20个样品中有5个样品的亚硝酸盐超标,超标率为25%。各类发酵菜中亚硝酸盐的含量与pH、肠道菌数量有关,pH值较低的发酵菜中肠道菌数量少,亚硝酸盐含量也低;相反,pH值较高的发酵菜中肠道菌数量多,亚硝酸盐含量也较高。一定含量范围内的食盐对亚硝酸盐含量影响不大。     

A survey of nitrate and nitrite content of fruit and vegetables grown in Slovenia during 1996-2002

Monitoring of nitrate (NO₃^-) and nitrite (NO₂^-) content in agricultural products in Slovenia has been carried out since 1996. The results of monitoring over the period 1996-2002 are presented. During this time 924 samples of 14 different agricultural products (potato, lettuce, apples, carrot, silage maize, cabbage, grapes, peaches, string beans, cereals, pears, cucumbers, strawberries and tomato) were analysed. The samples were taken at the time of maturity directly from growing sites and they were analysed using segmented flow analysis. The average nitrate contents were the highest in lettuce (1074 mg kg^-1), cabbage (881 mg kg^-1), string beans (298 mg kg^-1) and carrot (264 mg kg^-1), and they were moderately high in potato (158 mg kg^-1), silage maize (122 mg kg^-1), strawberries (94 mg kg^-1), cucumbers (93 mg kg^-1) and cereals (49 mg kg^-1). Low nitrate contents (below 6 mg kg^-1) were found in fruit (grapes, peaches, apples and pears) and tomato. With the exception of cereals (8.9 mg kg^-1), apples (1.5 mg kg^-1), potato (1.2 mg kg^-1) and pears (1.0 mg kg^-1) the content of nitrites did not exceed 0.5 mg kg^-1. It may be concluded that the results of the monitoring were in most cases similar to the results of investigations obtained in other countries.     

Nitrate-N determination in leafy vegetables: Study of the effects of cooking and freezing

Nitrate upon reduction to nitrite can cause methaemoglobinaemia or act as precursor in the endogenous formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. The leafy vegetables are the major vehicle for the entry of nitrate into the human system. The present study was conducted to establish a flow injection analysis (FIA) technique to investigate the nitrate-N contents of four commonly consumed fresh leafy vegetables (Chinese cabbage, celery, lettuce and English cabbage) from market in Fiji. Two extraction techniques (activated carbon and alkaline extraction) were assessed to extract nitrate-N and the activated carbon extraction was preferred over alkaline extraction and applied. The recoveries of spiked nitrate-N in vegetable matrices ranged from 90.40% to 112.80% in activated carbon extraction with an average of 100.62%. The effects of cooking (boiling, baking and frying) and deep-freezing on the nitrate-N contents were also studied. Nitrate contents in selected leafy vegetables were determined by FIA coupled with Greiss protocol involving sulfanilamide and N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride as color reagents. Nitrate was determined in the linear range from 1.0 to 20.0 mg L⁻¹ with the method detection limit of 0.042 mg L⁻¹ (0.34 mg kg⁻¹). The results of the study show that nitrate contents in fresh leafy vegetables ranged from 1297 to 5658 mg kg⁻¹. Boiling reduces nitrate content by 47–56% whereas frying in Soya bean oil elevates nitrate content by as much as 159–307%. No significant change was observed in nitrate content after baking. The deep-freezing of the selected leafy vegetables shows that nitrate-N content fluctuates slightly from the original nitrate-N values over the seven day period. The FIA throughput was 38 samples h⁻¹.

Nitrate and nitrite content in organically cultivated vegetables

The nitrate and nitrite content of leaf vegetables (Swiss chard, sea beet, spinach and cabbage), “inflorescence” vegetables (cauliflower) and fruit vegetables (eggplant and vegetable marrow) grown with organic fertilizers have been determined by a modified cadmium–Griess method. Samples were purchased from organic food stores as well as collected directly from an organic farm in Madrid (Spain). Nitrate levels were much higher in the leaf vegetables (especially Swiss chard species; average over the different samples and species of 2778.6 ± 1474.7 mg kg^{? 1}) than in inflorescence or fruit products (mean values between 50.2 ± 52.6 and 183.9 ± 233.6 mg kg^{? 1}). Following Swiss chard species, spinach (1349.8 ± 1045.5 mg kg^{? 1}) showed the highest nitrate content, and nitrite was found above the limit of detection in some samples only (spinach, 4.6 ± 1.0 mg kg^{? 1}; sea beet, 4.2 ± 0.7 mg kg^{? 1} and Swiss chard, 1.2 ± 0.4 mg kg^{? 1}). Some vegetables (spinach, cabbage and eggplant) had lower nitrate content in the samples harvested in summer, showing the influence of climatic conditions on the nitrate levels in a plant. The samples taken directly from the organic farm, with the exception of eggplant, had higher or slightly higher average nitrate values than samples purchased in the organic food stores, ranging from 117 to 1077%.     

Nitrites, nitrates and N-nitrosoamines in Estonian cured meat products: Intake by Estonian children and adolescents

The contents of nitrate, nitrite and N-nitrosoamines in commercial cured meat products on the Estonian market were determined for 2000-01 and 2003-04 as part of the Estonian food safety monitoring programme and the Estonian Science Foundation grant research activities. The maximum permitted levels of residual nitrites and nitrates were not exceeded in the samples analysed. However, a great variation in the content of nitrate, nitrite and N-nitrosoamines was found for all the products. The concentrations of these compounds in domestic cured meat products showed a decrease from year to year. The mean intake of nitrate, nitrite and N-nitrosoamines by Estonian children (n = 346) from cured meat products was calculated on the basis of individual intake data. The mean daily intake of nitrates was 1.7 mg, that of nitrites was 0.83 mg and that of N-nitrosoamines was 0.073 µg. In the 2000-01 study, the calculated nitrite intake exceeded the acceptable daily intake by up to 140% for 1-6-year-old children and up to 105% in 2003-04.     

Nitrate and nitrite in fresh vegetables from queensland

Vegetables were collected near peak harvest from the main production regions in Queensland and were analysed for residues of nitrate and nitrite. A small sample of hydroponic produce was also included in the survey. Nitrite-N from 1 to 4 mg kg^-1 was found only in dwarf beans and in lettuces. Levels of nitrate in potatoes, cabbages and beets were higher than those reported in other surveys and exceeded threshold limits set in one other country. The median nitrate-N concentration measured in hydroponic lettuce (465 mg kg^-1 nitrate-N) was more than twice the median concentration for field-grown lettuce. Poor correlation between total N and nitrate in vegetables raises doubts about the use of total N alone as an indicator of N status.     

Flow injection analysis of nitrate-N determination in root vegetables: Study of the effects of cooking

Vegetables are the major vehicles for the entry of nitrate into the human system. Ever-increasing concern over nitrate toxicity has directed a number of countries to lay down maximum allowable threshold concentrations with regards to nitrate-N in vegetables. Fiji is an independent island nation, located in the southern Pacific Ocean, has a tropical oceanic climate and hence expected to have high nitrate-N levels in vegetables. Thus, the present study was devoted to establish a flow injection analysis (FIA) technique for nitrate-N determination in Fiji’s commonly consumed fresh and cooked root vegetables such as potato (Solanum tuberosum), dalo (Colocasia esculenta), sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) and carrot (Daucus carota L.). Activated carbon extraction technique was applied to extract nitrate-N. FIA with colorimetric detection technique having linear dynamic range of determination 1.0–20.0 mg L⁻¹ and detection limit of 0.042 mg L⁻¹ (0.34 mg kg⁻¹), using sulphanilamide and N-(1-naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride as colour reagents, was used to determine nitrate-N contents in selected fresh and cooked root vegetables. The samples throughput was 38 h⁻¹. The effects of various cooking (boiling, baking and frying) methods on nitrate-N contents in root vegetables have also been studied. The study shows that the nitrate content of fresh root vegetables ranges from 53.76–258.00 mg kg⁻¹ whereas boiling reduces nitrate content by 23.30–42.62%. The frying in soya bean oil elevates nitrate contents from 204.53–299.12% but after baking nitrate contents remains almost constant with slight increasing trend from 2.80–8.43%. A comparison of the nitrate obtained by standardised method and the nitrate contents in vegetables of other countries are also presented.     

Determination of endogenous concentrations of nitrites and nitrates in different types of cheese in the United States: method development and validation using ion chromatography

Nitrites and nitrates can be present in dairy products from both endogenous and exogenous sources. In the European Union (EU), 150 mg kg^–1 of nitrates are allowed to be added to the cheese milk during the manufacturing process. The CODEX General Standard for Food Additives has a maximum permitted level of 50 mg kg^–1 residue in cheese, while in the United States (U.S.) nitrates are unapproved for use as food additives in cheese. In order to be able to investigate imported cheeses for nitrates intentionally added as preservatives and the endogenous concentrations of nitrates and nitrites present in cheeses in the U.S. marketplace, a method was developed and validated using ion chromatography with conductivity detection. A market sampling of cheese samples purchased in the Washington DC metro area was performed. In 64 samples of cheese, concentrations ranged from below the method detection limit (MDL) to 26 mg kg^–1 for nitrates and no concentrations of nitrites were found in any of the cheese samples above the MDL of 0.1 mg kg^–1. A majority of the samples (93%) had concentrations below 10 mg kg^–1, which indicate the presence of endogenous nitrates. The samples with concentrations above 10 mg kg^–1 were mainly processed cheese spread, which can contain additional ingredients often of plant-based origin. These ingredients are likely the cause of the elevated nitrate concentrations. The analysis of 12 additional cheese samples that are liable to the intentional addition of nitrates, 9 of which were imported, indicated that in this limited study, concentrations of nitrate in the U.S.-produced cheeses did not differ from those in imported samples.     

Nitrate and nitrite levels in commonly consumed vegetables in Hong Kong

Levels of nitrate and nitrite in 73 different vegetables, a total of 708 individual samples grouped into leafy, legumes, root and tuber, and fruiting vegetables, which are traded mainly in Hong Kong, were measured. Where available, five samples of each vegetable type were purchased from different commercial outlets during the winter of 2008 and summer of 2009. Levels of nitrate and nitrite were determined by ion chromatography and flow injection analysis, respectively. Nitrate and nitrite levels of all samples ranged <4–6300 and <0.8–9.0 mg?kg^?1, respectively. Nitrate concentrations for the different groups, in descending order, were leafy?>?root and tuber?>?fruiting and legume vegetables. More than 80% of vegetables had mean nitrate concentrations less than 2000?mg?kg^?1, but mean nitrate concentrations of three types of leafy vegetables, namely Chinese spinach, Shanghai cabbage and Chinese white cabbage, were >3500?mg?kg^?1. On the other hand, nitrite concentrations were generally low –?<1?mg?kg^?1 on average. Nitrate in vegetables (i.e. Chinese flowering cabbage, Chinese spinach and celery) can be reduced significantly (12–31%) after blanching for 1–3?min, but not after soaking.     

Changes in nitrate and nitrite content of four vegetables during storage at refrigerated and ambient temperatures

The nitrate and nitrite contents of four kinds of vegetables (spinach, crown daisy, organic Chinese spinach and organic non-heading Chinese cabbage) in Taiwan were determined during storage at both refrigerated (5 ± 1°C) and ambient temperatures (22 ± 1°C) for 7 days. During storage at ambient temperature, nitrate levels in the vegetables dropped significantly from the third day while nitrite levels increased dramatically from the fourth day of storage. However, refrigerated storage did not lead to changes in nitrate and nitrite levels in the vegetables over 7 days.     

A survey of nitrate and oxalate content in fresh vegetables

A survey of nitrate and oxalate ((COO⁻)₂) content in fresh vegetables was conducted in Bari (Italy) over 15 months (from March 1994 to May 1995). A total of 327 samples (edible portions and related sub-samples) were taken from 26 different vegetable types on the wholesale fruit and vegetable market. The data revealed that leaf vegetables (namely rocket, celery, parsley and spinach) contained higher levels of nitrate than bulb, root, shoot, inflorescence and tuber vegetables. Higher oxalate levels were found in spinach and Swiss chard. Based on consumption data for the whole population provided by the National Institute of Nutrition, daily nitrate intake from vegetables was calculated to be 71 mg. Over 30% of nitrate intake was derived from the consumption of lettuce and Swiss chard. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

Effect of nitrogen fertiliser on the nitrate contents of field vegetables grown in Britain

The nitrate and percentage organic nitrogen contents of 14 vegetable and two arable crops were measured after they had been grown with different levels of N-fertiliser. Foliage crops always contained substantial quantities of nitrate which increased with increase in the rate of N-fertiliser application. Grain of legumes and cereals, storage roots of carrots, parsnips and sugar beet, and onion bulbs and leeks contained no detectable amounts of nitrate even when N-fertiliser application rates were very high. Storage roots of red beet, swede and white turnip contained more than 3 mg NON g^?1 dry weight when grown with exceptionally high levels of fertiliser-N but contained very little when grown with the optimum amount of fertiliser-N or less. An equation was developed that linked NON to percentage organic-N for those parts of plants that could accumulate nitrate. It gave good fits to the data from seven crop species grown at a range of different levels of N-nutrition. It is estimated from the foregoing data and a survey of household food consumption that the average British person consumes about 60 mg NON week^?1 in field vegetables. If N-fertilisers were withheld consumption would be about 30 mg and if excess were applied it would be about 120 mg NON week^?1.     

Protein and mineral contents of green leafy vegetables consumed by sokoto population

Six green leafy vegetables used extensively in food preparations in northern Nigeria were analysed. Crude protein and ash contents varied from 13.1 to 29.2% and 7.0 to 18.6% respectively. ‘Lalo’ (Corchorus Sp.) had the highest content of sodium (0.31%), iron (0.31%) phosphorus (0.48%) and magnesium (0.47%). There was a significant positive correlation between phosphorus and sodium (r=0.97**), phosphorus and iron (0.81*) and calcium (0.81*) contents.

Heavy metals in vegetables sold in the local market in Jordan

Heavy metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in various vegetables (cabbage, green onion, lettuce, parsley, rocket, spinach, carrot, onion, potato and cauliflower) from the market in Jordan were measured using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn ranged from 0.009–0.275 mg kg^?1 wet weight, 0.004–0.060 mg kg^?1, 0.003–0.401 mg kg^?1, 0.105–3.51 mg kg^?1, 0.15–1.15 mg kg^?1, 0.93–14.39 mg kg^?1, 0.044–0.702 mg kg^?1, 0.072–0.289 mg kg^?1 and 2.23–6.65 mg kg^?1, respectively. Parsley, followed by spinach, contained the highest concentration of heavy metals. Onion contained high levels of toxic heavy metals. The content of Cu in parsley and spinach and Pb in onion exceeded the Codex limits. However, the daily intake of heavy metals from the tested vegetables was lower than the maximum limits for allowable intake.     

Antioxidant and micronutrient quality of fruit and root vegetables from the Indian subcontinent and their comparative performance with green leafy vegetables and fruits

Commonly consumed, fruit vegetables (12) and root vegetables (15) in the Indian subcontinent in cooked and uncooked states assessed for inhibition of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), superoxide radical scavenging activity (SOSA), ferrous iron chelating ability (FICA) and nine micronutrients, exhibited large variability in these parameters. SOSA and FICA were significantly associated (r = 0.803, p < 0.001) with each other. Inhibition of TBARS showed marginal correlation with both FICA (0.38, p < 0.05) and SOSA (0.29, p > 0.05). There were significant cooking losses for each of the assessed antioxidant capacity parameters (p < 0.05). Contents of ascorbic acid, per 100 g of cooked fruit and root vegetables were high (61.9 and 31.3% of recommended daily allowance (RDA)). However, both the food classes were not good sources of beta‐carotene, riboflavin and thiamine (1.66–5.26% RDA). When compared with our data on 30 cooked green leafy vegetables (GLV) and 30 fresh fruits, root vegetables showed significantly (p < 0.05) higher levels of zinc and selenium. Cooked root vegetables were comparable with cooked GLVs but uncooked GLVs gave the highest values for inhibition of TBARS (0.73 ± 0.21 mM vitamin E/100g). SOSA (40.7 ± 15.6 mM tannic acid/100g) and FICA (41.6 ± 14.9 mM EDTA/100g) were highest for uncooked fruit vegetables. Root vegetables had the highest levels of polyphenols (251.4 ± 107.3 mg/100g). For the present study, popular fruits and vegetables such as guava, spinach, bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), yam, ginger and beetroot, and also less common ones like bael (Aegle marmelos), kokum (Garcinia indica) and mango‐ginger (Curcuma ameda), showed potential in vitro to combat oxidative stress.

Genetic and environmental influences on liking and reported intakes of vegetables in Irish children

Variation in the bitterness of 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) is partially explained by polymorphisms in the TAS2R38 gene. Based on their perception of bitterness from PROP, people may be classified into non-, medium and supertasters. PROP perception has previously been linked to liking for cruciferous vegetables in children in some studies, but only one study to date has examined TAS2R38 genotype and its relationship with vegetable intake in children. Children’s vegetable consumption generally does not meet the recommended guidelines, thus the present study aimed to examine the influence of oral sensory measures, genetic variation and social factors on vegetable liking and intake. Vegetable liking in 7–13 year old Irish children (n = 525) was measured on a 5-point liking scale, and dietary intakes were assessed via a 3-day diet history. Vegetable intakes were calculated and standardised per kg body weight. A subset of children (n = 485) were genotyped for SNPs in TAS2R38, (A49P, V262A, I296V), and fungiform papilla (FP) were counted. The bitterness of PROP and sweetness of sucrose were rated on a generalised labelled magnitude scale (gLMS). PROP and sucrose intensity were significantly correlated (R² = 0.33, p = 0.001), although neither sucrose intensity nor FP density differed across the TAS2R38 genotype groups. Supertasters were less likely than nontasters to have tried/tasted cruciferous vegetables p < 0.04). A small, positive correlation was seen in FP density and vegetable intake, but only in the AVI homozygous children, (R² = 0.17, p = 0.035). 174 Nutrient acceptable children reported an intake of one or more of the vegetables of interest in the 3-day period. Liking of cruciferous vegetables and reported intake were significantly correlated. In multiple regression analyses in this subsection of the cohort, socioeconomic status (SES) and gender were more important than PROP bitterness or TAS2R38 genotype in predicting intakes (approximately 15% of liking and 67% of intake was explained by these models). Overall, neither PROP taster status nor TAS2R38 genotype alone had significant impact on bitter vegetable liking or intake. Further research into FP density and vegetable liking and intake may be warranted.
