1

A new study presents a refined method for testing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in foods.
2

The method utilizes optimized QuEChERS extraction and GC-MS in selected-ion monitoring mode.
3

It effectively reduces matrix interferences in high-fat foods, which are challenging for PAH analysis.
4

The method identified PAHs in various commonly consumed foods, particularly in oils and smoked meats.
5

The approach simplifies testing, enhances detection efficiency, and reduces hazardous chemical use.
