Table 2 shows the results of furan in the samples from the furan
models reacted with 0.1 M of each of the metal ions (iron sulphate,
magnesium sulphate, calcium sulphate and zinc sulphate), antioxidants
(BHT and BHA) and sodium sulphite. The formation of furan
in model I was 6.80 ± 0.55455.13 ± 5.65 ng/ml. The amount of
furan formed in model I without any food additives was
13.94 ± 1.11 ng/ml. In a previous study (Owczarek-Fendor et al.,
2011), the furan concentration in the ascorbic acid model for a
starch-based model system was similar to our result.
