Popis: Analytical methods were validated for the evaluation of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde, which are harmful chemicals, using solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in four different matrices. Typical home-cooking methods including boiling, pan-frying, and stir-frying, were applied to beef, rapeseed oil, canned pork ham, egg, and rice wine. In addition, monosaccharides, disaccharides, alanine, and glycine were heated for the formation of both aldehydes. All validation parameters, including accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and uncertainty, for four different matrices were within recommended ranges, confirming the validity of the current method. Acetaldehyde contents ranged from undetectable to 17.92 μg/g and formaldehyde contents ranged from undetectable to 0.27 μg/g. Generally, boiling decreased both aldehydes except acetaldehyde in egg. Pan- and stir-frying increased both aldehyde content substantially in rapeseed oil whereas pan-frying increased acetaldehyde content in canned pork ham and egg. Fructose and sucrose produced higher content of both aldehydes than maltose and glucose when heated. Depending on food type, the cooking process had slightly different effects on the contents of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.
