Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
Kevin Vanneste Source: Frontiers in Microbiology, Volume 14 (2023) Keywords: Bacillus cereus Food Additives riboflavin Surveillance whole-genome sequencing Abstract: Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...
Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
mixtures, characterisation of the fraction of small particles, including the particle size distribution, is needed for each single constituent or each component in the mixture2. This is challenging for ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
source, the most significant partitioning criteria for urine AsT is typically the recent consumption of fish/seafood. This was also the case for AB, the organic specie of As that is mostly present in fish ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
of convenient food or usage of single-use items. As a direct consequence, the production of plastics is globally increasing, as well as their release into the environment, threatening wildlife and ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
resolved. Shotgun metagenomics is a sequencing method involving the analysis of the genetic material directly extracted from a sample, without the need for an isolation of the bacteria. By sequencing and ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
hazard identification IATAs NAMs nanocellulose nanospecific assessment Abstract: Nanocellulose (NC) is an emerging material in the food sector with several prospective application areas. Three main types ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
view of pressing challenges, such as climate change and the rising burden of diet-related diseases, the simultaneous integration of evidence-based findings from different dimensions into FBDG s is ...
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 ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
among infants and children. However, it is crucial to address the presence of multiple natural toxic compounds that may co-occur in dairy milk to ensure its safety prior to consumption. Aflatoxin M1 ...
