Probabilistic Risk Assessment of Metals, Acrylamide and Ochratoxin A in Instant Coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.

ABSTRACT: This study analysed the probabilistic risk to consumers associated with the presence of iAs, Cd, Cr, Hg, Pb, acrylamide (AA) and ochratoxin A (OTA) in instant coffee from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. The results found iAs to be the metal with the highest concentrations (3.50 × 10^-2 to 6.00 × 10^-2 mg/kg), closely followed by Pb (1.70 × 10^-2 to 2.70 × 10^-2 mg/kg) and Cr (5.00 × 10^-3 to 1.00 × 10^-2 mg/kg), although these differences were not significant between countries. Cd and Hg were not detected. Focusing on AA, the concentrations ranged from 1.77 × 10^-1 mg/kg (Peru) to 4.77 × 10^-1 mg/kg (Brazil), while OTA ranged from 1.32 × 10^-3 (Peru) to 1.77 × 10^-3 mg/kg (Brazil) with si
