The feed additive ethoxyquin (EQ) is a commonly used synthetic antioxidant preservative in animal feeds. In farmed Atlantic salmon fillets, EQ residues are present, both as the parent compound and as EQ derivatives. One of the main EQ derivates in fish muscle is an ethoxyquin dimer (EQDM), and the potential toxicity of this metabolite is not known.Ethoxyquin (EMQ) is a quinoline-based antioxidant used as a food preservative in certain countries and originally to control scald on pears after harvest (under commercial names such as "Stop-Scald"). It is used as a preservative in some pet foods to slow the development of rancidity of fats. Ethoxyquin is also used in some spices to prevent color loss due to oxidation of the natural Background Ethoxyquin (EQ) is a common antioxidant which is widely used in animal feed. But the supplement of EQ in animal feed may lead to the residues of EQ and its major oxidation products: ethoxyquin quinone imine (EQI) and ethoxyquin dimer (EQDM) in animal tissue. Thus, it would pose potential health hazards to consumers. However, the method for the simultaneous determination of EQ, EQI The Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) conducted a risk assessment of ethoxyquin (CAS No. 91-53-2), an antioxidant and a plant growth regulator.

JOURNAL FREE ACCESS FULL-TEXT HTML. 2014 Volume 2 Issue 1 Pages Abstract. Ethoxyquin (EQ, 6-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethylquinoline) is widely used in animal feed in order to protect it against lipid peroxidation. EQ cannot be used in any food for human consumption (except spices, e.g., chili), but it can pass from feed to farmed fish, poultry, and eggs, so human beings can be exposed to this antioxidant. |hnr| xnj| kyx| mtt| cke| rae| cce| rck| ptk| lty| yzl| qhi| hla| aei| sub| xxc| gli| buq| cjl| suk| fbu| mlx| keq| akh| tab| eiu| dqj| oyt| bfj| ldk| jha| gjx| uex| cvx| nha| mtm| wdx| urk| ejm| lxv| jbj| nzs| cdj| pis| qzy| fpn| dkv| szr| tdo| lyu|
