Alteration and release of aliphatic compounds by the polychaete Nereis virens (Sars) experimentally fed with hydrocarbons [PDF]
In the laboratory, marine worms were fed with a mixture of algae and several aliphatic hydrocarbons for 15 days. After ingestion by the worms, 34.9% of hydrocarbons are found in the faeces and only 3.1% accumulated in the gut.

Heat-Induced Toxicants: Sensory Appeal Distracts Consumers' Attention From Potential Toxicological Risks of Thermally Processed Foods. [PDF]
The central paradox of thermal processing of foods. (A) The application of heat (e.g., frying, baking, grilling) to food initiates complex chemical reactions, most notably the Maillard reaction and thermal degradation of protein, lipids, and carbohydrate. (B) These reactions create a desirable sensory experience characterized by enticing aromas, golden‐
