Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
study, the first four-year results from 67 feed additive vitamin B2 samples from the official control are presented. It includes 5 samples positive for real-time PCR methods specific to the unauthorized GM ...
Adjunct Culture of Non-Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria for the Production of Provola Dei Nebrodi PDO Cheese: In Vitro Screening and Pilot-Scale Cheese-Making
production. One hundred and twenty-one lactic acid bacteria, isolated from traditional Provola dei Nebrodi cheese samples, were genetically identified by Rep- PCR genomic fingerprinting, using the ...
Food insecurity and its association with changes in nutritional habits among adults during the COVID-19 confinement measures in Belgium.
SETTING: Belgium. PARTICIPANTS: 8640 adults recruited by convenience sampling. RESULTS: About 10.4% of Belgians often or sometimes feared food shortages, 5.0% were often or sometimes short of food without ...
Food Chemistry, Function and AnalysisDNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity CHAPTER 8. GMO Detection and Identification Using Next-generation Sequencing
feasibility in supporting the current genetically modified organism (GMO) routine detection systems for unauthorized GMO. Depending upon the specific samples under investigation, two categories of NGS ...
Development and Validation of a UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS Method for Quantification of Oleandrin and Other Cardiac Glycosides and Evaluation of Their Levels in Herbs and Spices from the Belgian Market
included oleandrin, digoxin, digitoxin, convallatoxin, and ouabain. Samples of culinary herbs were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned using Oasis® MAX solid-phase extraction (SPE), while samples of ...

BPB, BPF, and BPS) and two alkylphenols (nonyl phenol (NP) and tert-octylphenol (OP) in human placenta samples. After a short sample preparation time the extracts are analysed by UHPLC- MS / MS using ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
The detected MOSH and MOAH concentrations were then compared to the action thresholds set by the Scientific Committee (SciCom) of the Belgian Food Safety Agency (FASFC) in 2017. Only one sample exceeded ...
Habitual food consumption of the Belgian population in 2014-2015 and adherence to food-based dietary guidelines.
A representative sample of the Belgian population was randomly selected from the National Population Register following a multistage stratified sampling procedure. Information on dietary intake was collected from ...
Nanomaterials for food applications: Analytical challenges and practical solutions for enforcing labeling of nanoingredients in food products in the European Union
“nano” labeling poses several analytical challenges. This includes the many potential sources of NP s in food which can interfere with the analysis, the challenges in relation to sample preparation, the ...
