Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...
Food Chemistry, Function and AnalysisDNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity CHAPTER 8. GMO Detection and Identification Using Next-generation Sequencing
approaches can be applied. The whole-genome sequencing approach, on the one hand, requires no prior knowledge, and is suitable for the characterization of samples containing an isolated single GMO. The ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
Abstract: Salmonella is a major pathogen, widely spread and responsible of salmonellosis. It can cause different symptoms, from simple gastroenteritis to the more dangerous typhoid fever. Salmonella can ...
Improving Burden of Disease and Source Attribution Estimates
quantify the burden of foodborne disease, but there is still much work to be done. While burden estimates are crucial to raising awareness of foodborne diseases, estimating their public health impact, and ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
amounts of substances migrating from the polymeric alternatives other than PC is much less known. The principal aim of this PhD was the identification and quantification of the major and most toxic ...

enforcement laboratories is becoming complex due mainly to the increasing number and diversity of GMO. To cope with the problematic of EU unauthorized GMO, this PhD aims to improve and strengthen the existing ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
(EU). However, the implementation of these legislations by the enforcement laboratories is becoming complex due mainly to the increasing number and diversity of GMO. To cope with the problematic of EU ...
Physical Characterization of Nanomaterials in Dispersion by Transmission Electron Microscopy in a Regulatory Framework
8, Number 270, Cham, p.21 (2015) ISBN: 978-3-319-15176-2 Abstract: TEM is one of the few techniques that can identify nanoparticles according to the current definitions. This chapter focuses on the ...
