Abstract
Ethyl carbamate (EC) has been recognized as a possible human carcinogen of Group 2A. It is produced through the fermentation and storage of alcoholic drinks and fermented foods. When ingested in large amounts, ethyl carbamate has been linked to various health problems, including gastroenteric hemorrhages, vomiting, and cancer, to mention a few. The carcinogenic potential of ethyl carbamate in food is a source of concern for human health. Ethyl carbamate has been used in industry, medicine, and veterinary treatment for a long time. Its use in human medicine was eventually prohibited due to toxicological concerns and ineffectiveness. The presence of ethyl carbamate in the alcoholic beverage and fermented food industries may pose a significant trouble due to its hazard to human safety.
There is no worldwide regulation for the maximum permissible level of ethyl carbamate in foodstuff at the moment. Ethyl carbamate intake is being regulated internationally. Over the last few years, thorough and systematic study has been conducted on the formation of ethyl carbamate in order to meet the allowed limitation levels in fermented beverages. According to previous research, Ethyl carbamate is predominantly formed by the reaction of ethanol with urea produced by enzymes present in food, citrulline and carbamyl phosphate from the urea cycle. In addition, cyanic glycosides contained in fruit seeds are decomposed into cyanide by enzymatic reaction and then oxidized to cyanate which reacted with ethanol, thereby producing ethyl carbamate.
This study was conducted to reduce EC contents in alcoholic beverages and fermented food during fermentation and storage. The comparison of EC extraction methods, EC formation and degradation were studied. The sample solutions were prepared in a model system of ethanol and water media. Gas chromatography with flame ionization detector was used to determine the EC content, and the results were optimized using response surface methodology.
The aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) had higher extraction efficiency than other extraction techniques. Gas chromatography seems to be a promising method for ethyl carbamate analysis in alcoholic beverages. Storage temperature, time, alcohol content, and pH all influenced the rate of EC formation and degradation, with temperature having the greatest impact, followed by alcohol concentration, storage duration, and pH. The designed study provides important information for regulating acceptable EC levels in alcoholic beverages and fermented foods.
