Mycotoxin analyses in some home produced eggs in Belgium reveal small contribution to the total daily intake.
Abstract: Low levels of deoxynivalenol (DON, range: 2.6-17.9 ng/g) and its metabolite de-epoxy- DON (DOM-1, range: 2.4-23.7 ng/g) were found in 20 home-produced egg samples collected in Belgium during autumn ...
Assessment of the chemical contamination in home-produced eggs in Belgium: general overview of the CONTEGG study.
dioxin-like PCB s), organochlorine pesticides, trace elements, PAH s, brominated flame retardants and mycotoxins. The study design, sampling methodology and primary conclusions of the study are given. It was ...
Prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Belgian house cats.
seroconvert in its second life-year. Health Topics: Food consumption and food safety Category: A1 FOS Classification: 3.03 Health sciences ...
Comparison of potato varieties between seasons and their potential for acrylamide formation
investigate the impact of seasonal variation on tuber composition and its acrylamide generation potential. RESULTS: The chemical composition of potato varieties used respectively for French fry (Bintje and ...
Calculation of the decision limit (CCalpha) and the detection capability (CCbeta) for banned substances: the imperfect marriage between the quantitative and the qualitative criteria.
2002/657/ EC. In this document it is mentioned that also qualitative criteria should be fulfilled. Therefore, the calculated CC alpha and CC beta must be verified by using fortified samples. The method should ...
A downscaled multi-residue strategy for detection of anabolic steroids in bovine urine using gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS3).
the steroids using GC- MS3. Nevertheless, it was decided to screen routinely sampled urine with GC- MS2 whereas GC- MS3 was applied to confirm the presence of anabolic steroid residues in suspected ...
Validation of a method for the detection and confirmation of nitroimidazoles and the corresponding hydroxy metabolites in pig plasma by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
mass spectrometry detection and was validated in house according to the Commission Decision 2002/657/ EC. The method is specific for all nitroimidazole except for Ipronidazole and its metabolite, due to ...
Chemical contamination of free-range eggs from Belgium.
dichlorodiphenyltricholroethane (DDT) and metabolites as well as other chlorinated pesticides) were analysed in Belgian free-range eggs obtained from hens of private owners and of commercial farms. It was found that eggs from ...
Selection criteria for potato tubers to minimize acrylamide formation during frying
be of minor importance in the acrylamide formation. On the basis of these simple selection criteria, it is possible to make a first screening of potatoes to reduce the acrylamide formation ...
Influence of fertilization on acrylamide formation during frying of potatoes harvested in 2003
acrylamide concentration of the French fries. Thus by lowering the amount of N fertilizer, an increase of 30-65% of the acrylamide generation during frying could be observed. It seems of extreme importance to ...
