Parameters | Interpretation of Results | |
---|---|---|
EDI | <17 ng kg−1 | The estimated daily intake of OTA should never be greater than the tolerable daily intake that corresponds to 17 ng kg−1 |
HQ | <1 | Suggests that carcinogenic effects are unlikely |
>1 | Is indicative that the OTA present in the matrix are potential agents that cause adverse health effects | |
MOE | ≥200 | Non-neoplastic effects |
≥10,000 | Suggests neoplastic effects |
Note. EDI: estimated daily intake; HQ: hazard quotient; MOE: margin of exposure.
