Acrylamide formation in food is a problem recognised by the food industry. The imminent enforcement of EU legislation may lead to significant loss of EU markets to UK goods. Acrylamide is found in groups of commonly consumed foods including baked and fried potatoes, bread, breakfast cereals, coffee and baby food, and is a result of the Maillard reaction between free asparagine and reducing sugars present in raw ingredients, which occurs during cooking. In recent studies, the extensive contribution of acrylamide associated mutagenesis in human cancer has been identified.The Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/2158 established mitigation measures and benchmark levels for the reduction of acrylamide levels in food. It also highlighted compulsory codes of practice and forces all food businesses to monitor the levels of acrylamide in their products, keeping records of the mitigation measures they apply.To respond to the elevated levels of acrylamide in foodstuffs in the UK, this project will develop a novel test for acrylamide which will result in a faster and cheaper test than those currently available. In addition, Curtis Analytics will provide three months of free testing (**600** samples) to the most COVID-impacted food manufacturers. This will give Curtis Analytics the baseline data to be able to form acrylamide mitigation advice specific to the food type and origin. The data will also allow us to verify the novel analytical method.This project emerged as a direct result of COVID19 restrictions having a direct effect on Curtis Analytics services. The new technology would allow Curtis Analytics to keep providing services independently of other larger institutions should the UK enter further COVID19 restrictions.This project will result in a novel method for acrylamide testing which will then be subject to UKAS ISO-accreditation, giving our clients confidence in the services we provide.

食品中丙烯酰胺的形成是食品工业认识到的一个问题。欧盟立法的即将实施可能导致英国商品在欧盟市场上的重大损失。丙烯酰胺存在于包括烤土豆和炸土豆、面包、早餐谷物、咖啡和婴儿食品在内的常用食品中，并且是游离天冬酰胺与原料中存在的还原糖之间的美拉德反应的结果，该反应在烹饪过程中发生。最近的研究发现丙烯酰胺致突变对人类癌症有广泛影响。欧盟委员会规例（EU）2016/2158为降低食物中丙烯酰胺含量制定了缓解措施和基准水平。它还强调了强制性的行为守则，并迫使所有食品企业监测其产品中的丙烯酰胺含量，记录他们所采取的缓解措施。为了应对英国食品中丙烯酰胺含量的升高，该项目将开发一种新的丙烯酰胺测试方法，这将导致比现有方法更快和更便宜的测试。此外，Curtis Analytics将为受COVID影响最严重的食品制造商提供三个月的免费检测（**600** 个样本）。这将为Curtis Analytics提供基线数据，以便能够针对食品类型和来源提出丙烯酰胺缓解建议。这些数据还将使我们能够验证新的分析方法。该项目的出现是COVID 19限制对Curtis Analytics服务产生直接影响的直接结果。如果英国进一步实施COVID 19限制，新技术将使Curtis Analytics能够独立于其他大型机构继续提供服务。该项目将产生一种新的丙烯酰胺测试方法，然后将通过UKAS ISO认证，让我们的客户对我们提供的服务充满信心。
