Abstract:

The paper aims to reveal the self-regulation mechanism of PAHs in vegetables and provide certain references for reducing the harm of PAHs in vegetables to human body. Lactuca sativa var. capitata, Brassica juncea, Benincasa hispida, Cucurbita moschata, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus and Vigna unguiculata were selected as the test materials. The interaction between PAHs and protein, fat, VA, VB1, VC, VE, Ca2+, Fe2+, Na+ and K+ were studied to find out the key substances causing the change of PAHs content. The types and contents of PAHs in different types of vegetables are different, as well as the contents of nutrients. The order of the PAHs types in vegetables is: leaves> melons> beans. Protein, VE, VB1 and Fe2+ have synergistic inhibitory effects on benzo(a)pyrene, while VA and Ca2+ have direct or indirect inhibitory effects on acenaphthylene, acenaphthene, phenanthrene, fluorene, chrysene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, pyrene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene, while Na+could promote the absorption or accumulation of benzo(k)fluoranthene, fluorene and benzo(g,h,i)perylene in vegetables. Nutrients in vegetables have a certain regulatory effect on PAHs, especially vitamins with strong antioxidant properties, which play a significant role in reducing PAHs in vegetables.

Key words: vegetables, PAHs, harm, nutrient composition: regulatory mechanism
