Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive
the body. Studies on general and organ toxicity did not indicate adverse effects with either E 171 up to a dose of 1,000 mg/kg body weight (bw) per day or with TiO2 NP s (> 30 nm) up to the highest ...
Citrinin Determination in Food and Food Supplements by LC-MS/MS: Development and Use of Reference Materials in an International Collaborative Study
<50 µg/kg), three FS- RYR s (blank, <50 µg/kg, <2000 µg/kg), and two FS- GBL s (blank, <50 µg/kg). The results of seven CIT-incurred materials showed acceptable within-laboratory precision (RSD ...

Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with lipophilic toxins with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
area/lot were 25% below or above the regulatory limit. However, to predict with a 95% certainty for levels between 140 and 180 μg OA eq/kg, a pooled sample of more than 30 scallops would have to be tested. ...

Dietary exposure assessment and risk characterization of citrinin and ochratoxin A in Belgium
in three age categories (3–9, 10–17 and 18–64 years), obtained from a national food consumption survey. Furthermore, a risk characterization was performed for CIT, in which no intake values exceeded ...
