Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS) finds tomato alkaloids modestly absorbed and largely metabolized in the blood.
In this study, dried fruit samples (organic and regular raisins, sultanas and currants) and bread spreads (from different nuts and seeds; i.e. peanuts, almonds, sunflower etc.) were purchased from stores in the US, UK and Germany. Samples were digested using microwave digestion and tested by ICP-MS to determine heavy metal contamination and potential exposure.
