E Method] Take broiler breast meat with high-dose irradiation as testing material, then evaluate its safety after 30 days feeding test of rats [ Result] Compared with control group （Pet food＇s irradiation dose is 0 kGy）, the general situation, weight, food-intake, food utilization rate, hematological examinations, bio-chemical analysis of blood, viscera weight, ratio of viscera and body weight, histopathological examinations, physi- ological feature, life＇s basic characteristics （including height, tail length, body temperature, heart rate and blood pressure ） and other indexes of rats, which were fed respectively with 10, 15, 25 kGy irradiation dose pet food for 30 days, were not found abnormal. [ Conclusion] Pet food with 10, 15, 25kGy irradiation dose is safe.展开更多

Consumption Factor （CF） and Food-type Distribution Factor （fT） were calculated from survey data with reference to the US FDA method. The most conservative migration conditions were obtained by testing Sb migration from PET FCM based on the Chinese national standard of GB/T 5009.101-2003[1].展开更多

Urea which is authorized for feed is a non nutritional source of nitrogen in food and pet food. Adulteration of food or pet food raw material by urea is thus monitored by manufacturer and governmental authorities with official methods which are either enzymatic (Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, AOAC) or spectro-colorimetric (European Community, EC). Each method gives results which are not comparable and spectro-colorimetric methods may result in false-positive urea detection. Liquid chromatographic (LC/UV-DAD) analysis of extracts from spectro-colorimetric method indicates that presence of free amino-acid may interfere with colorimetric detection of urea in the EC method with pet food samples. Liquid chromatography electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-HRMS) has allowed to quantify low content (<0.01%) of urea in pet food water extracts for samples which resulted in significant urea detection with colorimetric method and in content below the detection threshold with enzymatic method. This study demonstrates the EC colorimetric method is not applicable to pet food and also food samples which have a complex composition with significant levels of free amino acids. On the other hand we clearly evidenced by means of the LC/ESI-HRMS results that the AOC Enzymatic method is applicable to urea quantification in pet food samples and gives reliable results.展开更多
