“…Except for wheat beer, all beer samples were immediately filtered through a 0.8 µm gray mesh cellulose filter, and then rinsed with deionized water for MPs contamination (Liebezeit & Liebezeit, 2014). Package meat was also washed and filtered again and again to determine the number of particles and fiber on the outside of the package (Kedzierski et al., 2020). For drinking water, salt, seafood, and other food, filtration is usually carried out after digestion or dissolution or flotation (Akoueson et al., 2020; Gündoğdu, 2018; Iñiguez et al., 2017; Mintenig et al., 2019; Mühlschlegel et al., 2017).…”

“…First, MPs are readily ingested by marine and terrestrial organisms (such as sea fish, mussels, crabs, and chicken) and adsorbed by plants due to their small size, finally entering human bodies via food chain (Bradney et al., 2019; Horton et al., 2017). Second, plastic is the commonly used food packages, which may unintentionally release plastic particles when contacting with food (Kedzierski et al., 2020) during food production, transportation, and packaging process. Previous study demonstrated that a single plastic teabag at brewing temperature could release approximately 11.6 billion MPs and 3.1 billion nanoplastics (NPs) into a single cup of beverage (Hernandez et al., 2019).…”

Since microplastics (MPs) bring the potential risks to human health when plastics are ingested, more needs to be known about the presence and abundance of human ingestion of MPs. To address these issues, we reviewed 108 publications in Web of Science concerning abundances, sources, and analytical methods of MPs in human daily intake including fish, salt, drinking water, beverages, package food, and other food. The results demonstrate that aquatic food products (fish and bivalves) present a wide range of 0–10.5 items/g for bivalves and 0–20 items/individual for fish. Salt data in literatures present a concentration of 0–13,629 particles/kg. Drinking water is also a pathway of MPs exposure to human, presenting a concentration range from 0 to 61 particles/L for tap water and 0 to 6292 MPs/L for bottled water. Besides, MPs have been found in beverages, package food, sugar, honey, vegetables, and fruits. Therefore, human intake of MPs via ingestion is a nonnegligible exposure route.

“…Diversos estudios de los últimos años demostraron la exposición humana y presencia de MPs en productos alimenticios como sales de mesa, sardinas enlatadas, mariscos, cervezas, peces marinos y de agua dulce, miel, azúcar, bolsitas de té, alcohol, minerales, agua potable y agua embotellada [31,39,46,81,87], leche [88], refrescos, bebidas energéticas [89], vinos blancos [90], carne de pollo [91]. Incluso en alimentos envasados como la carne, que están contenidas en bandejas de XPS y expuestas a pequeñas partículas de MPs que son atrapados en la carne, las cuales son difícil de eliminar mediante enjuague y posiblemente se terminen cocinando e ingiriendo [92]. Esto incrementa la evidencia que aún se carece de estudios para verificar si más productos alimenticios presentan contaminación con MPs.…”

Los microplásticos (MPs) se han convertido en un desafío importante para las ciencias ambientales, química analítica y toxicología ambiental en los últimos años. Estos han atraído la atención mundial en su categoría de contaminantes emergentes debido a sus interacciones y persistencia en el medioambiente, además de su origen a partir de una deficiente gestión en el tratamiento de los residuos de centros urbanos, además de malas prácticas industriales y su uso indiscriminado. Los MPs actualmente están dispersos por todas partes del planeta, desde los océanos hasta los ríos, sedimentos, suelo, aire, organismos vivos e incluso en los recursos alimenticios y zonas remotas del planeta como el ártico y glaciares montañosos. Por lo tanto, esta revisión tiene como objetivo el informar acerca de la formación, tipos, fuentes, interacción con contaminantes y posibles consecuencias en la salud por los MPs presentes en el medioambiente. Buscamos concientizar de que en la actualidad se está viviendo junto a los MPs sin darnos cuenta. Además, esta revisión también incluye un breve recorrido por los últimos estudios que se han realizado en Sudamérica, conceptualizando la realidad local y regional con respecto a este problema de carácter global

“…Recent studies reported microplastics in air, drinking water, consumed milk, and other beverages [ 2 ]. A study conducted by Kedzierski et al [ 3 ] reported that one person could be ingesting 1.4 mg of extruded polystyrene (XPS) microparticles per day.…”

Electrospun Nanosystems Based on PHBV and ZnO for Ecological Food Packaging

The electrospun nanosystems containing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and 1 wt% Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) (with the content of dopant in the range of 0–1 wt% Fe) deposited onto polylactic acid (PLA) film were prepared for food packaging application. They were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), antimicrobial analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) techniques. Migration studies conducted in acetic acid 3% (wt/wt) and ethanol 10% (v/v) food simulants as well as by the use of treated ashes with 3% HNO3 solution reveal that the migration of Zn and Fe falls into the specific limits imposed by the legislation in force. Results indicated that the PLA/PHBV/ZnO:Fex electrospun nanosystems exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC-27853) due to the generation of a larger amount of perhydroxyl (˙OOH) radicals as assessed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy coupled with a spin trapping method.
