Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
the properties of the particles consumers are exposed to. Samples were prepared by spraying 5mL in a glass vial and coated on EM-grids using the grid-on-drop method. Scanning transmission electron ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
Keersmaecker Source: BSFM, BSFM, Brussels, Belgium (2023) Keywords: adaptive sampling nanopore outbreak investigation shotgun metagenomics Abstract: Introduction Traditionally, the investigation of suspect food ...
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
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Selenium in selected samples of infant formulas and milk commercialized in Belgium and Brazil: total content, speciation and estimated intake

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
based on the sequencing of all genetic material of the sample without isolation has become available some years ago, e.g. shotgun metagenomics. It allows to get a screenshot of every microbiological ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
must be able to isolate pure high molecular weight (HMW) DNA from complex metagenomics samples, without introducing any bias. New methods released on the market, and protocols developed at the research ...
P20-10: Microcystin-LR and aflatoxin M1 contamination in dairy milk samples and their combined in vitro hepatotoxicity

Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms
identify SNV s of interest. To investigate if the performance of this targeted high-throughput sequencing approach is compatible with the performance criteria used in the GMO detection field, several samples ...
Aluminium intake through the consumption of selected baby foods and risk characterization in a population of Brazilian infants aged 0 to 36 months
combining mean levels of Al in 171 samples of baby foods (infant formula, meat/vegetable purees, fruit purees, petit-suisse and cereals), analytically determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission ...
