The focus of this STREP project is health risks associated with hazardous compounds in heat treated carbohydrate-rich foods where substantial amounts of acrylamide and similar compounds can beformed. HEATOX will explore their mechanisms of formation, impact of raw material composition, inhibiting factors, cooking and processing methods in industry and households with the to aim control and minimise the formation of hazardous compounds.
