TI  - Persistent Organic Pollutants and Fatty Acid Profile in a Typical Cheese from 
      Extensive Farms: First Assessment of Human Exposure by Dietary Intake.

AB  - Dairy products represent an important source of beneficial substances for humans. 
      At the same time, they can expose the consumers to environmental contaminants 
      ingested by animals through their diet, influencing their health negatively. This 
      experiment aims to evaluate the risk and benefits related to the consumption of 
      typical stretched cheeses, considering their fatty acid (FA) profile and 
      persistent organic pollutants (POPs) content. Six representative farms, two of 
      them organic, raising Cinisara cattle were selected, considering the typical 
      extensive management systems, based on feeding of natural pasture integrated with 
      concentrate and hay depending on the availability of forage on pastures. A total 
      of 18 cheeses produced in winter, spring and summer with bulk milk of each farm 
      were sampled and analyzed. The chemical composition of cheeses was influenced by 
      farm management, and the FA profile mainly by the season. In particular, cheeses 
      made in spring showed a healthier FA profile with the content of polyunsaturated 
      fatty acids (PUFA), of omega3-PUFA and omega6/omega3 ratio pair to 7.29%, 1.44% 
      and 1.32, respectively, while in winter 5.44%, 0.98% and 2.55, respectively, and 
      in summer 4.77% 0.49% and 3.04, respectively. Due to high levels of feeding 
      integration, cheese made in winter presented unhealthier characteristics compared 
      to the cheeses made in spring and summer, showing high levels of saturated FA 
      (66.2%, 64.2% and 65.5%, respectively), and large contents of polycyclic aromatic 
      hydrocarbons (PAH) (57.07 ng/g fat, 36.25 ng/g fat and 10.22 ng/g fat, 
      respectively) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (36.19 ng/g fat, 4.68 ng/g fat 
      and 3.73 ng/g fat, respectively), mainly in those from non-organic farms. Levels 
      of PCBs considered to be hazardous to human health were found in nine samples.
