We have made progress in reducing the formation
of acrylamide by selecting the best potatoes, controlling storage and processing conditions, and by providing clear instructions on all retail and foodservice packaging for optimal cooking times and temperatures.
Not exact matches
McCain Foods is committed to continuing efforts to reduce the formation
of acrylamide in our products
by monitoring the latest research and assessing applicability.
Other animal crackers found
by CEH to contain levels
of acrylamide requiring a warning under California law were: Barbara's (Weetabix) Snackimals Vanilla Cookies; Stauffer's Animal Crackers Original; Gold Emblem (a CVS store brand); Kirkland Signature organic (a Costco store brand); Mi - Del Gluten - free Arrowroot Cookies; Cookies Animalitos Galletas (La Moderna brand); and Galletas de Animalitos Con Betun brand.
By the way, even charring vegetables on the grill creates different carcinogens such as
acrylamides, so don't think that the negative effect
of charring only applies to meats.
The problem
of acrylamide is solved
by cooking foods at lower temperatures.
With healthy intake
of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts, as well as onions, garlic, red peppers, and other foods, you may also be able to help your body detoxify some
of the
acrylamide you do consume
by providing your detox system with a better supply
of the amino acid cysteine that can help build your glutathione reserves and help you neutralize unwanted
acrylamide.
Although these particular types
of antioxidants were pointed out
by researchers as potentially helping to inhibit negative effects
of acrylamides, I wouldn't assume that other powerful antioxidants don't help too.
I think it is, I know it depends on the temperature
of the thing being cooked before it's molecular structure is altered and therefore behave differently or unusable
by the body, just like
acrylamide but I am sure there is many other reactions that are unfavorable.
Finally, we would like to note that caramelization
of food (as exemplified
by the heating and browing
of onions) is not a protein - based chemical reaction but a reaction only involving food sugars and is not the same as the above - described AGE formation and
acrylamide formation processes.
