Request PDF | The Analysis of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids in Honey | Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are important toxins produced by a large number of plants. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids, sometimes referred to as necine bases, are a group of naturally occurring alkaloids based on the structure of pyrrolizidine. Ingestion of 1,2 unsaturated PAs can be damaging to the liver; they are genotoxic and may act as carcinogens in humans. 2019 Mar 5;8(3):54. doi: 10.3390/plants8030054. To date, no fully validated or standardised method exists to measure the PA content in honey. Between 2009 and 2011, we studied 71 Swiss honeys from regions north of the Alps and from various Alpine regions. J. vulgaris increasingly invades countrysides in Central Europe, especially areas with reduced farming or sites with natural restorations.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are secondary plant metabolites with hepatotoxic effect in humans and several animal species. A limited survey of 63 preprocessing samples of honey, purposefully biased toward honeys attributed to floral sources known to produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids, demonstrated levels of pyrrolizidine alkaloids up to approximately 2000 parts per billion (ppb) in a sample attributed to Echium plantagineum.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) are secondary metabolites of plants, which are mostly found in the genus Senecio, Echium, Crotalaria, and Eupatorium.The presence of 1,2-unsaturated PA in foods is a concern to food regulators around the world because these compounds have been associated to acute and chronic toxicity, mainly in the liver. In this scientific opinion, the CONTAM Panel performed estimates of both acute and chronic exposure to pyrrolizidine alkaloids through honey. 29 Please enable it to take advantage of the complete set of features!

Flade J, Beschow H, Wensch-Dorendorf M, Plescher A, Wätjen W. Plants (Basel). As PAs are the most widely distributed natural plant toxins with threat to human health, risk assessment calls for quantitative analytical methods with a wide scope including PAs without available standards. They are used as a defence mechanism and have been detected in a range of foods including milk, meat, eggs, grains and honey. EFSA’s experts identified 17 pyrrolizidine alkaloids in food and feed that should continue to be monitored and recommended further studies on the toxicity and carcinogenicity of those most commonly found in food. To achieve reasonably high sensitivity and selectivity, mass spectrometry detection is demanded. 2013 Aug 26;149(1):1-23. doi: 10.1016/j.jep.2013.05.048.

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A: Vol. Based on the direct comparison, both methods are considered from various perspectives and the respective individual strengths and weaknesses for each method are presented in detail. EFSA was asked by the European Commission to deliver a scientific opinion on the risks for human health related to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) in honey, tea, herbal infusions and food supplements and to identify the PAs of relevance in the aforementioned food commodities and in other feed and food.

REQUIREMENTS Experience, skills and/or a keen interest in chemistry or similar. A method was developed for the determination in honey of the Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) derived pyrrolizidine alkaloids jacoline, jacozine, jacobine, seneciphylline and senecionine, combining solid-phase extraction with high performance liquid chromatography and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometric detection. In recent studies, foods such as herbal teas and honey have been found to be contaminated with pyrrolizidine alkaloids. Although only echimidine/echimidine-N-oxide were available as reference for the LC-MS target approach, the results for both analytical techniques matched very well (n = 8; PA content ranging from 311 to 520 µg kg(-1)). Exposure to PAs needs to be minimised because of the health risks associated with them. This proficiency testing scheme was executed to assess the capabilities of laboratories to determine PAs. : a review on its ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry, pharmacology, and toxicity. Multi-target screening of potential PAs in honey samples. The last set (C) was obtained by consciously placing beehives in areas with a high abundance of Jacobaea vulgaris (ragwort) from the Veluwe region (the Netherlands). Risks for human health related to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in honey, tea, herbal infusions and food supplements. Set A consisted of pure Echium honey (61-80% Echium pollen). Pyrrolizidine alkaloids are produced by plants as a defense mechanism against insect herbivores. In this study, a method was developed that allows simultaneous quantification of 12 PAs in the honey samples by using HPLC-HRMS with authentic standards. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PA) are an extensive group of secondary plant ingredients, which can be found, for example, in herbal teas and dried seasoning herbs, plant extracts that can enter the respective product through non-sorted herbs. 2010 Jan;54(1):158-68. doi: 10.1002/mnfr.200900529. 15. This method was further extended to screen for other potential PAs in the honey using multi-target screening combined with a quantitative prediction model in the cases that authentic PAs were not available.
