Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
Ultimately, a validation of the method is still necessary in order to obtain a precise limit of detection based on the analysis of a large dataset of samples. Moreover, other technologies can still be ...
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 ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
particle diameter was, in all cases, higher when using spICP- MS. The main reason for this was the higher size detection limit for spICP- MS plus the fact that some of the analysed particles remained ...
Evaluation of the shucking of certain species of scallops contaminated with lipophilic toxins with a view to the production of edible parts meeting the safety requirements foreseen in the Union legislation
was asked by the European Commission to provide information on levels of lipophilic shellfish toxins in whole scallops that would ensure levels in edible parts below the regulatory limits after ...
A genoserotyping system for a fast and objective identification of Salmonella serotypes commonly isolated from poultry and pork food sectors in Belgium.
pork- and poultry-derived food products. Therefore, a strict monitoring of Salmonella serotypes in food-producing animals is needed to limit the transmission of the pathogen to humans. Additionally, ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
adapted to the need of the field, especially for the professionals of the food sector who need to rapidly, accurately and cost-efficiently detect the serotypes targeted by the legislation. Fortunately, ...
Development of a QuEChERS-Based UHPLC-MS/MS Method for Simultaneous Determination of Six Alternaria Toxins in Grapes
detection in the range of 0.03–0.21 μg kg−1, and limit of quantification in the range of 0.09–0.48 μg kg−1), and precision (relative standard deviation (RSD) ≤ 12.9%), the analytical method was successfully ...
A more sensitive, efficient and ISO 17025 validated Magnetic Capture real time PCR method for the detection of archetypal Toxoplasma gondii strains in meat.
an insufficient sensitivity compared with the mouse bioassay. Here we present a method that is more sensitive (99% limit of detection: 65.4 tachyzoites per 100g of meat), economical and reliable (ISO ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
migration limits) showed that for some baby bottles, several not authorised compounds exceeded the generally adapted “no-detection limit” of 10 µg kg-1. Substances, such as 2,4-di-tertbutylphenol (up to 118 ...
Development and application of a non-target extraction method for the analysis of migrating compounds from plastic baby bottles by GC-MS.
in one PP, silicone and Tritan bottle), anti-oxidants (Irgafos 168, degradation products of Irganox 1010 and Irganox 1076), etc. were detected for PP, silicone and Tritan bottles. Although the ...
