Evaluation of the thermal stability and transfer rate of pyrrolizidine alkaloids during th

Results from a study evaluating the thermal degradation and transfer of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) during the brewing of herbal infusions. The dataset includes PA concentrations in two weed species (Echium vulgare and Senecio vulgaris), degradation percentages from standard solutions, and transfer rates from a 5% plant-contaminated chamomile infusion. It was authored by Fernández Pintor, Begoña and last updated on October 14, 2025.

Use Cases

• Modeling thermal degradation kinetics of pyrrolizidine alkaloids based on the degradation study results.
• Estimating consumer exposure to plant toxins based on the transfer rate data from contaminated infusions.
• Comparing the contamination potential of different weed species (Echium vulgare vs. Senecio vulgaris) based on their PA concentration data.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, measurable process: thermal degradation and transfer rates of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
• Includes results from experiments with two distinct PA-containing plant species and a standard solution control.
• Data was last updated on October 14, 2025, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
