Linearity, in the working standards solutions, between 12.5 ng/mL and 200ng/mL, was good (r2=0.998). Linearity in the matrix-matched assay, prepared between 20 and 250μg/Kg, was r2=0.997. Matrix-effect was 92.5%. Recovery values ranged between 97.6 and 105.3%, and precision between 2 and 13.6%. The accuracy and precision results comply with the requirements established by the EC directive 401/2006. LOD and LOQ were 3.75 and 12.5μg/Kg, respectively. The application of the procedure to 50 samples from the three cities showed that 36% of the samples were contaminated. One sample with baby flour purpose exceeded the maximum limit established by EC legislation of 2007, and another one was close to the limit. A maize flour sample exceeded the ML established by EC with a concentration of 111.7μg/kg. Thus, two of the tested samples from Coimbra were contaminated above the established maximum limits for processed maize-based food for infants and maize intended for direct human consumption. The estimated daily intake (EDI) ranged between 0.013 and 0.14 g/kg b.w./day, which represents 52x102% and 560x102% of the TDI established by EFSA in 2011, 0.25 ng/kg b.w./day. Therefore, all the studied populations are at risk, being this risk higher for babies than for adults, both in Portuguese and Dutch population.2013info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesishttp://hdl.handle.net/10316/26089http://hdl.handle.net/10316/26089porRamos Aldana, Juaninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-01-20T17:48:40Zoai:estudogeral.uc.pt:10316/26089Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:47:46.377986Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
