Investigation of migrating substances from textile used as food contact material
Belgian market. Well known food contaminants such as butylated hydroxy toluene, phthalates and photo-initiators were detected, but at very low levels. On the contrary, one bread bag sample contained higher ...
Characterization and hazard identification of substandard and falsified antimicrobials encountered in Belgium
a subsequent quantification method using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (UHPLC- DAD) was also successfully validated. Next, real-life illegal antimicrobial samples ...
Validation of single particle ICP-MS for routine sizing and quantification of the fraction of silver nanoparticles in E174 food addititves and confectionery products
samples were prepared for analysis according to a slightly modified version of the method of Jensen et al. [2]. The E174 food additives showed a large silver background concentration combined with ...
Physicochemical characterisation of several types of the E171 food additive
https://www.sciensano.be/en/biblio/physicochemical-characterisation-several-types-e171-food-additive
particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (sp- ICP- MS) following CEN / TC 352 guidelines. The E171 samples were purchased on the Belgian market or were obtained from European producers. In ...
Determination of endocrine disrupting compounds in human placenta by UPLCESI-MS/MS
quantified in human placenta samples The major compounds found were parabens and bisphenols Highest concentration levels for methyl- and propylparaben and highest quantification frequency for octylphenol ...
Levels of Persistent organic pollutants in breast milk: Belgian results from the 6 th WHO-coordinated survey
POP s in breast milk POP s levels in Belgian breast milk samples still decrease over time Main POP s still measurable are DDT, HCB and B- HCH breast milk advised as first choice for nursing babies The ...
Comparative dissolution study on substandard and falsified antibiotics encountered in Belgium
in vitro dissolution studies on SF antimicrobials to estimate the in vivo bioavailability and bioequivalence. Real-life illegal antimicrobial samples, confiscated by inspectors from the Belgium Federal ...
Impact of the revised European Tobacco Product Directive on the quality of e-cigarette refill liquids in Belgium
decreased over time. Before the revised TPD came into force, almost half of the samples was not conform in contrast to less than 15% non-conformities observed in the period 2017-2018. Moreover, also the ...
Development of a sample preparation method for the GC-analysis of e-cigarette refill liquids
issue, a proper sample preparation is needed, to improve the life span of the column and reduce the total number of cuts in the GC-column. The aim of our study is to quantify potential harmful flavourings ...
Physicochemical Characterisation of the E171 Food Additive
CEN / TC 352 guidelines. The E171 samples were purchased on the Belgian market or were obtained from European producers. To measure the minimal external dimension of the constituent particles of E171, ...
