TL;DR: A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation method with photo-diode array (PDA) and mass spectrometric (MS) detection was developed to determine and quantify flavonols, flavones, and flavanones in fruits, vegetables and beverages.

TL;DR: The current intake of TFA in most Western European countries does not appear to be a reason for major concern, but it would therefore be prudent to reduce intake of all cholesterol-raising fatty acids, TFA included.

TL;DR: Investigations show that the T FA content has been reduced or removed from the products with high TFA content originally, like French fries, microwave oven popcorn and various bakery products, so IP-TFA are now without any significance for the intake of TFA in Denmark.

TL;DR: Millions of people inside and outside EU have intakes of IP-TFA that may increase their risk of CHD, and the Danish experience demonstrates that this risk can be eliminated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the fatty acid composition of dietary fats and oils from 14 European countries with particular emphasis on isomerictransfatty acids and found that the proportion of transmonoenoic acids in typical soft margarines and low-fat spreads ranged between 0.1 and 17% of total fatty acids and that ofcis-unsaturated fatty acids between 55 and 81%.
