Arsenic can occur in foods as inorganic and organic forms. Inorganic arsenic is more toxic than most watersoluble organic arsenic compounds such as arsenobetaine, which is presumed to be harmless for humans. Within the first German total diet study, total arsenic, inorganic arsenic, arsenobetaine, dimethylarsinic acid and monomethylarsonic acid were analyzed in various foods. Highest levels of total arsenic were found in fish, fish products and seafood (mean: 1.43 mg kg(-1); n = 39; min-max: 0.01-6.15 mg kg(-1)), with arsenobetaine confirmed as the predominant arsenic species (1.233 mg kg 1; n = 39; min-max: 0.01-6.23 mg kg (1)). In contrast, inorganic arsenic was determined as prevalent arsenic species in terrestrial foods (0.02 mg kg (1); n = 38; min-max: 0-0.11 mg kg (1)). However, the toxicity of arsenic species varies and measurements are necessary to gain information about the composition and changes of arsenic species in foods due to household processing of foods.
Interacting services play a key role to realize business process integration among different business partners by means of electronic message exchange. In order to provide seamless integration of these services, the messages exchanged as well as their dependencies must be well-defined. Service choreographies are a means to describe the allowed conversations. This article presents a requirements framework for service choreography languages, along which existing choreography languages are assessed. The requirements framework provides the basis for introducing the language BPEL4Chor, which extends the industry standard WS-BPEL with choreography-specific concepts. A validation is provided and integration with executable service orchestrations is discussed.
