Samples of 15 commercially available batches of wood cheps, used in alcoholic beverage industry, were extracted and anlyzed for their content in polyciclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Total amonts of PHAs varyng between 0.96 and 15.1 ng/g of wood were found, with medium to low MW compounds being mainly present. Carcinogenic benzo(a)pyrene was faund in such a value, however, not alarming if maximum mandatory levels in food are considered. PHAs content in chips qas unaffected by wood origin, size or toasting level while further investigation dealing with phenomena occuring during the wood seasoning could be necessary.

Abstract

Samples of 15 commercially available batches of wood cheps, used in alcoholic beverage industry, were extracted and anlyzed for their content in polyciclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Total amonts of PHAs varyng between 0.96 and 15.1 ng/g of wood were found, with medium to low MW compounds being mainly present. Carcinogenic benzo(a)pyrene was faund in such a value, however, not alarming if maximum mandatory levels in food are considered. PHAs content in chips qas unaffected by wood origin, size or toasting level while further investigation dealing with phenomena occuring during the wood seasoning could be necessary.
