Food-borne pathogens are the most important thing cause of illness and death in developing countries. Food safety is essential for central university kitchens because of the high number of meals served every day. These central university kitchen systems are of special interest as students are at relatively high-risk of developing serious complications from exposure to food bacterial contamination hazards.
Maintaining and improving the health level of college students are important aspects for higher education, where the food security becomes the foundation of the health. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes about food safety and to evaluate the quality of food (Physical & Operational Standards) in the student canteen at Duhok University.
A total of 80 sample of spices (red pepper, black pepper, turmeric and cinnamon), commercialized in Iran, was analyzed for aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 content using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorescence detector (FD).
Aflatoxins (AFs) are cancerous secondary metabolites produced primarily by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus in agricultural foodstuff such as peanuts, maize grains, cereals, and animal feeds. Food and Agricultural organization (FAO) estimated that as much as 25% of the world’s agricultural commodities are contaminated with mycotoxins, leading to significant economic losses.
Mycotoxins continue to pose a health concern via human exposure to contaminated food. Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1), the hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), may be found in the milk of dairy cattle and other mammals. In humans, AFM1 is excreted through the feces, urine, and in the case of lactating mothers, also in breast milk after consumption of aflatoxin contaminated food.
The Authenticity of meat products is very important for religious and health reasons in Iran.

امروزه تجمع آرسنیک در برنج موجب نگرانی بسیار زیادی در جوامع شده است به این دلیل که برنج بخش عمدهای از غذای اصلی اکثریت مردم به شمار میآید. با توجه به پیشینه مطالعات مبنی بر اثبات حضور آرسنیک در منابع آب منطقه میداوود و اینکه محصول کشاورزی عمده این منطقه برنج است این پژوهش احتمال وجود آرسنیک در برنج منطقه میداوود در استان خوزستان و دوز ورودی در بدن انسان را مورد بررسی قرار میدهد.
آفت کشهای ارگانوکلره دستهای از ترکیبات مختلکننده غدد درون ریز هستند که باعث ایجاد طیف وسیعی از عوارض سلامتی در انسان و نیز سرطان میشوند. بطور کلی غذاهای چرب با منشاء حیوانی مانند شیر و محصولات لبنی منبع اصلی مواجهه انسان با سموم آفت کش ارگانوکلره به ویژه DDT و متابولیتهای آن است. هدف از مطالعه حاضر ارزیابی میزان مواجهه جمعیت عمومی ساکن در شهر تهران با DDT و متابولیتهای آن از طریق مصرف شیر پاستوریزه و نیز نهایتا ارزیابی ریسک سرطان زایی و غیرسرطان زایی ناشی از این میزان مواجهه است.
