Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).

had detectable concentrations of AsT. The geometric mean urine concentrations for adolescents were 8.1 μg/L for AsT, 2.7 μg/L for AB, and 3.7 μg/L for TRA. Since fish or seafood are a major arsenic ...

Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices

(NP s), mainly originating by physico-chemical transformation processes, such as aging, degradation and fragmentation. Because of the ease in their detection, several studies have been conducted on ...

Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling

samples during an outbreak investigation requires the samples to be enriched in order to reach detectable levels. However, a bias can occur during the enrichment of the food due to competition between the ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

the host depletion DNA extraction method. We then investigated the issue of the detection and characterization of genetically modified microorganisms (GMM s) in microbial fermentation products as a case ...

Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Van Camp, Camille; Wannes Van Hassel *; Mohamed F. Abdallah; Julien Masquelier * Source: Chemosensors, Volume 11, Issue 10 (2023) Keywords: cyanotoxins; aflatoxin M1 dairy milk Food Safety liquid ...

Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms

identify SNV s of interest. To investigate if the performance of this targeted high-throughput sequencing approach is compatible with the performance criteria used in the GMO detection field, several samples ...

Pesticides, trace elements and pharmaceuticals in tea samples available in Belgian retail shops and the risk associated upon acute and chronic exposure

performed a risk assessment for these samples. No chemical adulteration could be detected in dry tea material. More than 38% of the dry leaves samples contained at least one pesticide exceeding the maximal ...

Cyanotoxins and Food Contamination in Developing Countries: Review of Their Types, Toxicity, Analysis, Occurrence and Mitigation Strategies

the detection of microcystins using different analytical methods. The detected levels mostly surpassed the provisional tolerable daily intake limit set by the World Health Organization, indicating ...
