What is Acrylamide and Furan in Food Products about?

Acrylamide and furan are thermal process contaminants that are formed by heating processes. They are known to be toxic and “possibly carcinogenic to humans” according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Over the past decade, these compounds have attracted much scientific interest, and thus, they have been the subject of many studies directed at the formation, detection, and elimination of acrylamide and furan. In addition to the research community, consumers, health professionals, and the food industry are interested in the potential risks to public health posed by those compounds when found in various foods. This chapter highlights the latest developments regarding the occurrence, precursors, and mechanisms of formation, toxicity, and detection methods, as well as possible strategies to reduce acrylamide and furan levels in food.
