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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
pollutants are some of the causes of the problem. Moreover, due to the increasing human population, water demand is also increasing, while water reserves in aquifers, groundwater and fossil water are ...
METROFOOD-RI: Pilot services with physical, remote and virtual access
Van Loco Source: Measurement: Sensors, Volume 18 (2021) Keywords: ESFRI Food safety and quality Metrology research infrastructure Abstract: METROFOOD- RI (www.metrofood.eu) is an ESFRI research ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
the threshold for MOSH, while the threshold for MOAH was exceeded in 23 samples. For the samples exceeding the action threshold, further investigation is needed to identify the contamination source. ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry
0.6-2.1 ng g−1 for BPF and from 0.8-1.3 ng g−1 for BPS. BPB and NP were not detected and OP levels ranged from 0.5-3.7 ng g−1. The results demonstrate that the developed analytical method is very sensitive ...
Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
The use of high yielding crops with a sufficiently high metal accumulation is preferred as these are expected to both gradually decontaminate the soil while generating an income through biomass ...
Short-term effect of pollen and spore exposure on allergy morbidity in the Brussels-Capital Region.
Nieuwenhuyse Source: Ecohealth, Volume 13, Issue 2, p.303-15 (2016) Keywords: Allergic rhinitis ecology Fungal spore Medication pollen public health Abstract: Belgium is among the European countries that are the ...
