Citrinin Determination in Food and Food Supplements by LC-MS/MS: Development and Use of Reference Materials in an International Collaborative Study
fungal cultivation on collected raw materials. The homogeneity and stability from randomly selected containers were verified according to the ISO 13528. CIT was found to be homogenously distributed and ...
Optimization and validation of an analytical method for the quantification of short- and medium-chained chlorinated paraffins in food by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
for ∑ MCCP s in all food matrices analysed. The selection of the internal standard was a significant factor in the accuracy of the method and highlights the strong need for more appropriate isotopically ...
Retrospective survey of unauthorized genetically modified bacteria harbouring antimicrobial resistance genes in feed additive vitamin B2 commercialized in Belgium: Challenges and solutions
used to produce vitamin B2, and a set of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes commonly harboured as selection marker by GM bacteria used to produce microbial fermentation products. On this basis, ...
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
The present study aimed at selecting non-starter lactic acid bacteria strains, with desirable technological and enzymatic activities, suitable as adjunct culture for the Provola dei Nebrodi cheese ...
The effect of a shelf placement intervention on sales of healthier and less healthy breakfast cereals in supermarkets: A co-designed pilot study.
A retailer-academic collaboration was formed to co-design and pilot selected commercially sustainable strategies to increase sales of healthier foods relative to less healthy foods in supermarkets. Two co-design ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
Reaction- PCR (MOL- PCR) & Luminex method was selected as the principle in this PhD study to develop a fast, cost-effective and accurate Salmonella genoserotyping system. The first step of the new method ...
Physicochemical Characterization of the Pristine E171 Food Additive by Standardized and Validated Methods.
spectrometry (spICP- MS). The evaluation of selected sample preparation protocols allowed identifying and optimizing the critical factors that determine the measurement of the particle size distribution by TEM. ...
Detection strategy targeting a chloramphenicol resistance gene from genetically modified bacteria in food and feed products
resistance (AMR) genes as selection markers, are frequently used to produce food and feed enzymes, additives and flavourings. Such commercialized microbial fermentation products should not contain GMM, or ...
Piacentinu Ennese PDO cheese as reservoir of promising probiotic bacteria.
in order to select promising probiotic strains to be further used in humans. One hundred and sixty-nine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from 90 days ripened cheeses and identified by Rep- PCR ...
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 ...
