Abstract(s)

Food contaminants are usually studied as isolated molecules, not considering the overall meal components. Notwithstanding, contaminants are not ingested individually, therefore their risks should be assessed in the context of the overall diet. In the present study the influence of three well known dietary patterns, Western (W), Mediterranean (M) and vegetarian (V), on the bioaccessibility and intestinal transport of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) and benzo[b]fluoranthene (BbF)), heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) (2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) and 2-Amino-9H-pyrido[2,3-b]indole (AAC)) and mycotoxins (MY) (aflatoxin B2 (AB2) and ochratoxin A (OTA)) was evaluated. Whole meals representative of W, M and V patterns were spiked with 100 µg kg-1 of each contaminant and subjected to the Infogest in vitro digestion method. Intestinal transport was performed using Caco-2 cells in apical/basolateral inserts. Contaminants were quantified by QuEChERS/HPLC/Fluorescence analysis. The dietary pattern itself influenced significantly the bioaccessibility of some contaminants, since higher bioaccessibility of HAAs (PhIP and AAC) was observed for V diet, while higher bioaccessibility of PAHs (BBF and BAP) and the MY (OTA) was observed for W diet. Concerning intestinal transport, the effect of the diet matrices was less noticed. Notwithstanding, AAC transport increased with W diet, while AB2s transport increased with the V diet. Regarding PAHs the three patterns either blocked (BbF) or reduced (BaP) the transport. Besides the well known nutritional, protective or deleterious effects of the different dietary patterns, the increased bioaccessibility or intestinal transport of some food contaminants, can have an additional influence on the global health impact.

Highlights: Dietary pattern influenced the bioaccessibility of some studied food contaminants; The impact of dietary pattern on intestinal transport was less notorious; Dietary pattern affects contaminants bioaccessibility/absorption and health.
