Development of a shotgun metagenomics workflow for the comprehensive surveillance of biological impurities in vitamin-containing food products
resistance genes. Existing control strategies rely on targeted PCR-based methods, unsuitable to detect untargeted or unknown impurities. In this study, we developed an open shotgun metagenomic sequencing ...
Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
technique will be developed. This research is performed under the NAMS4NANO action via funding from the European Union through a grant of the European Food Safety Authority (agreement GP / EFSA / MESE ...
Development of the Local Food Systems Policy Index (Local Food-EPI+) tool and assessment process to benchmark the implementation of local government policies for creating healthy, equitable and environmentally sustainable food systems.
Development Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Local governments have an important role to play in creating healthy, equitable and environmentally sustainable food systems. This study aimed to develop and pilot a tool and ...
FT-IR spectroscopy as a rapid method for Salmonella spp. typing
subspecies level a, which is crucial for the early management of foodborne outbreaks. However, implementing it in a routine laboratory requires the development of a standardized protocol due to the high ...
Reflections of the NRL: implementation of EN ISO 11133 in food microbiology laboratories
laboratories source their culture media from suppliers to simplify their workflows and ensure high quality and batch-to-batch consistency of the media they use. This standard takes account of this development by ...
Which government policies to create sustainable food systems have the potential to simultaneously address undernutrition, obesity and environmental sustainability?
Policy Obesity Sustainable Development Abstract: INTRODUCTION: A transformation of food systems is urgently needed, given their contribution to three ongoing and interlinked global health pandemics: (1) ...
Validation of the measurement of Aluminium in food by ICP-OES after acid digestion
foodstuffs, it is necessary to accurately measure aluminium levels. In our laboratory, we have developed a method utilising inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP- OES) to analyse certain ...
The future burden of type 2 diabetes in Belgium: a microsimulation model.
probabilities. From 2018 to 2030, synthetic individuals transitioned annually from health to death, with or without developing type 2 diabetes, as predicted by the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score, and risk factors ...
