Toxicity from Food Additives and Adulterants Maira Jabeen
Food additives are and adulterants are added intentionally by the food processors. However, some of the elements in such substances are responsible for causing severe health issues and toxicity and can also lead towards causalities.
Health Impact of toxicity by food additives and adulterants along with its purpose of addition and treatments are given in the following file.
Saccharin is an artificial sweetener that is 300-400 times sweeter than sucrose. It was discovered in 1879 and first introduced commercially in 1885. While saccharin was shown to induce bladder cancer in rats in the 1970s, resulting in a warning label, the label was removed in 2000 after further studies found it to be safe for human consumption. Saccharin is a non-caloric sweetener that is used as a sugar substitute, especially for those watching their weight or with diabetes. In moderate and approved doses, it provides benefits but can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Food additives are substances added to food to enhance qualities like taste, appearance, and preservation. Some common foods contain many additives, like biscuits (12 additives) and bread (9 additives). Additives can be incidental, coming from packaging, or intentional, added by processors. Intentional additives are used to enhance texture, color, flavor, nutrition, or shelf life. While additives are considered safe, some have raised health concerns, like cancer risks from BHA or allergic reactions to sulphites, benzoic acid, and tartrazine. Food additives are evaluated internationally and guidelines set acceptable daily intakes, but ongoing safety reviews are still needed.

Phosphorylation involves the addition of phosphoryl groups to amino acids by protein kinases and removal by protein phosphatases. This effectively regulates enzyme activity and structure. A key example is regulation of glycogen phosphorylase in muscle and liver through interconversion between active phosphorylated form A and less active form B by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Glycogen phosphorylase breakdown is regulated by controlling the ratio of these two forms.
3. FOOD FADDISM
4/13/2021

A fad, sometimes called a trend, or a craze, refers to a fashion that becomes popular in a culture quickly,
then become unpopular.
Food faddism refers to an unusual pattern of food behavior based upon a magnified belief in the effects of
food or nutrition on health and disease.
Food faddism is born of little awareness about basic scientific dietary facts.
Food faddism is an important factor that cause malnutrition.
Food quackery is the promotion for special foods, products, with false or misleading claims, usually for
personal financial gain.

2 general forms of food faddism:
•Individual faddism which is marked by acute or chronic aberrations such as
avoidance or cravings of specific foods.
•Collective faddism which involves large groups of people and produces most
number of problems.

Food is a complex mixture of many different chemical components.
The study of food preparation involves understanding the changes that occur in these components during
preparation as a result of their interaction with one another, with the medium of cooking, the temperature of
cooking and the environment.

10. Retention of Nutritive Value during preparation
4/13/2021
10
Some simple rules for retaining nutritive value and flavour are given below:
1. Wash vegetables before cutting.
2. Cut vegetables just before cooking and introduce cut vegetables into boiling water, if to be cooked in water.
3. Use just enough water for cooking, if the vegetables or other foods are to be served as such.
4. Cook foods until just done and serve immediately.
5. When preparing soups, the slowest cooking ingredient should be added first, followed by addition of other
ingredients, which cook in shorter time.
6. Spices and other flavour ingredients should be added in the oil used for seasoning.
7. Vegetables, salads should be prepared just before serving.
8. Use of acid foods, such as lime juice, tomatoes, vinegar or yogurt as dressings in salads prevents loss of vitamin
C, because it is stable in acid medium.
9. Fruits are best eaten as they have been customarily eaten in tropics.
11. FOOD ADDITIVES
4/13/2021
11
According to the Food Protection Committee of the Food and Nutrition Board, food
additives may be defined as follows:
The National Academy of Sciences (1973) has listed the purposes of food additives as
follows:
a substance or mixture of substances, other than a basic foodstuff, which is present in a food
as a result of any aspect of production, processing, storage, or packaging. The term does not
include chance contaminants.
13. SORBITOL
4/13/2021
13
CHEMISTRY
Sorbitol is a six-carbon sugar alcohol that was originally found in the berries of mountain ash.
Sorbitol has the same steric configuration as glucose, and it is chemically synthesized from glucose or
dextrose for commercial use.
Sorbitol has about half the sweetness of sucrose
TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
• Sorbitol is used mainly as a sweetening agent for dietetic foods, where it combines moderate sweetening
power, specific flavor characteristics, and pleasant viscosity in liquids.
• It is used in sugar-free candies and chewing gum and in diabetic foods.
TOXICOLOGY
• Since sorbitol is absorbed slowly, foods sweetened with sorbitol are thought to be suitable for diabetics
provided that the calories are taken into account. However, large amounts of sorbitol can cause flatulence,
diarrhea, and abdominal distension
14. SACCHARIN
4/13/2021
14
CHEMISTRY
Saccharin can be produced by two methods, either from toluene and chlorosulfonic acid or from
methyl anthranilate .
Saccharin and sodium saccharin do not occur in nature.
TECHNOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Saccharin and its calcium and sodium salts are very stable under almost all food processing
conditions, and they also have a long shelf life.
Saccharin is at present the only noncaloric sweetener that appears to be stable during cooking and
baking of food products and can be utilized in most drugs, special dietary products, and cosmetics
TOXICOLOGY
High doses of saccharin have been shown to cause bladder cancer in laboratory animals.
15. SULFITES
4/13/2021
15
Sulfites are unique in their ability to perform a number of useful functions as food
additives—control of both enzymatic and non-enzymatic browning, suppression of microbial
growth, and bleaching.
Among the products that are treated with sulfites are dehydrated fruits and vegetables,
prepeeled potatoes, fresh grapes, and wine.
Treatment conditions vary widely. Sulfite may be applied as sulfur dioxide; sulfurous acid; or
sodium (or potassium) sulfite, bisulfite, or metabisulfite.
SIDE EFFECTS
Sulfite residues in foods have been responsible for some severe allergic reactions in
susceptible individuals, usually asthmatics. Fatal anaphylactic reactions have also been
reported.
16. TARTRAZINE
4/13/2021
16
Tartrazine, also known as FD&C Yellow #5, is an approved artificial food color.
This colorant has been widely used in foods and pharmaceuticals for many years
SIDE EFFECTS
Tartrazine is a color additive that is associated with adverse reactions (asthma and
chronic hives) in a sensitive subpopulation of consumers.
17. OLESTRA
4/13/2021
17
Olestra received food additive approval more recently and can be used as a fat
replacer.
Because Olestra is poorly absorbed and is not metabolized, it does not provide the
calories that would be obtained with fat in similar products.
SIDE EFFECTS
However, the use of Olestra has been associated with acute gastrointestinal
complaints, including anal leakage
18. NUTRITIONALADDITIVES
4/13/2021
18
The term nutritional additives can be used to mean the addition of vitamins,
minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, as well as other pure chemical compounds to food
in order to improve or maintain the nutritional quality of foods.
Nutritional additives can be used to restore nutrients to levels found in the food
before storage, packaging, handling, and processing.
Another use of nutritional additives is to improve the nutritional status or correct
nutritional inferiority in a food that replaces a more traditional nutritional food, an
example would be the fortification of breakfast drink substitutes with folacin and
vitamin C.
19. SIDE EFFECTS OF NUTRITIONAL
ADDITIVES
4/13/2021
19
Excessive consumption of the B vitamin, niacin, can cause an acute onset of flushing,
pruritus, rash, and burning or warmth in the skin especially on the face and upper trunk ; and
gastrointestinal discomfort has been noted by some patients.
With children, signs and symptoms of acute vitamin A toxicity include anorexia, bulging
fontanelles, drowsiness, increased intracranial pressure, irritability, and vomiting.

Adulteration of food consists of a large number of practices:-
Adulteration results in two disadvantages for the consumer:
First, he is paying more money for a food stuff of lower quality
Secondly, some forms of adulteration are injurious to health, even resulting in death, as for
example,
Mixing
Substitution
Concealing the quantity
Putting up decomposed foods for sale
Misbranding or giving false labels
Addition of toxicants
Adulteration of mustard oil with argemone oil causing epidemic dropsy or adulteration of edible oils with trycresyn
phosphate (TCP) resulting in paralysis and death

(a) CODEX ALIMENTARIUS : The Codex Alimentarius Commission, which is the principal organ of
the joint FAO/ WHO Food Standards Programme formulates food standards for international market. The
food standards in India are based on the standards of the codex alimentarius.
(b) PFA STANDARDS : Under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (1954) standards have been
established which are revised from time to time by the "Central Committee for Food Standards". The
purpose of the PFA standards is to obtain a minimum level of quality of foodstuffs attainable under Indian
conditions.
(c) THE AGMARK STANDARDS : These standards are set by the Directorate of Marketing and
Inspection of the Government of India. The Agmark gives the consumer an assurance of quality in
accordance with the standards laid down.
(d) BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS : The ISI mark on any article of food is a guarantee of good
quality in accordance with the standards prescribed by the Bureau of Indian Standards for that commodity.
The Agmark and ISI standards are not mandatory; they are purely voluntary. They express degrees of
excellence above PFA standards.
23. FOOD CONTAMINANTS

1. Insecticides are added to foods to control insect pests. Insecticides fall into several major
categories-
organochlorine compounds (dichlorodiphenyltrichloro ethane [DDT], chlordane)
organophosphate compounds (e.g., parathion and malathion)
carbamate compounds (e.g., carbaryl and aldicarb)
botanical compounds (e.g., nicotine and pyrethrum) and inorganic compounds (e.g.,
arsenicals).
Organophosphorus and
carbamates are
neurotoxins
Cholinesterase inhibitors

Insecticide residues in foods pose a low degree of hazard for several reasons:
(a) the level of exposure is very low
(b) some insecticides are not very toxic to humans
(c) some insecticides decompose rapidly in the environment
(d) many different insecticides are used, which limits exposure to any one
particular insecticide
26. AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS (contd.)

Herbicides are applied to agricultural crops to control the growth of weeds. Several classes of
herbicides include
chlorophenoxy compounds (e.g., 2,4-D)
dinitrophenols (e.g., dinitroorthocresol)
bipyridyl compounds (e.g., paraquat)
substituted ureas (e.g., monuron)
carbamates (e.g., propham)
triazines (e.g., simazine).
• In most circumstances, herbicide residues in foods do not present any hazard to consumers. Food
poisoning incidents have never resulted from the proper use of herbicides on food crops.
• Exception:- bipyridyl-toxic to humans

Food contamination with polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated
biphenyls (PBBs) has occurred on several
occasions . PCBs and PBBs are persistent in the
environment.
These compounds are fat soluble so they tend to
accumulate in the fat depots of various
organisms; concentrations often magnify upward
along the food chain.
PBBs = used as fire retardants.
PCBs = used in transformer fluid.
Mercury (Minamata disease)
The symptoms included tremors and other
neurotoxic effects and kidney failure.

BPA is a monomer used in the manufacture of
plastics including the production of polycarbonate
resins used to make baby bottles and water bottles
and in the epoxy resins used as the internal linings
of cans for soft drinks and beer.

The main issue with lead contamination results
from the occasional use of lead-based glazes on
pottery or paint on glassware that may come in
contact with acidic foods or beverages.
Lead is a well-known toxicant that can affect the
nervous system, the kidney, and the bone
Metal cans for food storage are typically
constructed using tin plate. These cans have inner
surfaces that are lined with a lacquer material when
cans are used for acidic foods or beverages.
Because tin is poorly absorbed, the primary
symptoms are bloating, nausea, abdominal cramps,
vomiting, diarrhea, and headache.
The inappropriate storage of acidic foods or
beverages in galvanized containers can result in acute
zinc intoxication .
The symptoms of zinc intoxication include irritation
of the mouth, throat, and abdomen; nausea; vomiting;
dizziness; and collapse.

Paralytic shellfish poisoning occurs as the result of ingesting molluscan shellfish, such as clams, mussels,
cockles, and scallops, which have become poisonous by feeding on toxic dinoflagellate algae.
Toxic dinoflagellate algae belonging to three genera—Alexandrium, Gymnodinium, and Pyrodinium—
have been implicated .
Because the blooms of the toxic dinoflagellates are quite sporadic, most shellfish will be hazardous only
during the times of the blooms.
Saxitoxins are the causative agents involved in paralytic shellfish poisoning. Saxitoxins bind to and block
the sodium channels in nerve membranes.
The symptoms of paralytic shellfish poisoning include a tingling sensation and numbness of the lips,
tongue, and fingertips followed by numbness in the legs, arms, and neck; ataxia; giddiness; staggering;
drowsiness; incoherent speech progressing to aphasia; rash; fever; and respiratory and muscular paralysis.

Mycotoxins
Mycotoxins are produced by a wide variety of molds that can grow on many different foods.
• The aflatoxins are produced primarily by Aspergillus
flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus, molds that often
contaminate peanuts and corn.
• Aflatoxin = act as carcinogen
AFLATOXIN
• Fusarium molds produce a number of different mycotoxins,
including the trichothecenes, fumonisins, and zearalenone.
• Fumonisins are produced primarily by Fusarium
verticillioides.
• The fumonisins have been implicated in equine leuko-
encephalomalacia, a fatal neurotoxic syndrome in horses.

34. PROCESSING-INDUCED TOXICANTS
4/13/2021
34
Processing-induced toxicants form under certain processing conditions, especially heat treatment.
Several examples of processed-induced toxicants, such as heterocyclic aromatic amines,
hydroxymethylfurfural, advanced glycation end products, nitrosamines, and acrylamide.
Acrylamide will form due to a reaction between the amino acid, asparagine, and reducing sugars such as
glucose and fructose under elevated temperatures (higher than 120°C) and in low-moisture conditions.
The highest levels of acrylamide are found in fried, baked, and broiled foods.
Acrylamide is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is distributed throughout the body
where it is metabolized to form glycidamide, which is a reactive epoxide that is thought to be
responsible for the genotoxic effects of acrylamide exposure.
