1 gen 1997 anni - Acrylamide

Descrizione:

Construction workers digging in a railroad tunnel in southwestern Sweden began to feel numb. Cows in the vicinity weren't faring either. Some became paralyzed and eventually died. Fish in nearby waters floated to the surface.

Swedish toxicologist, Margareta Törnqvis and her doctoral student Eden Tareke were called in to evaluate the exposure of tunnel workers to the dangerous substance. Their research unexpectedly led them to the kitchen and to the discovery that a cherished chemical reaction in Food Science, the Maillard reaction, also puts acrylamide in our dinner.
