Particle size analysis of iron hydroxide adipate tartrate (IHAT) in a food supplement: Interlaboratory testing of a dynamic light scattering method
materials were examined, including an early batch of IHAT without the flow agent, a damaged material unintentionally exposed to water, and the final commercial product that included the flow agent. The ...
Reflections of the NRL: implementation of EN ISO 11133 in food microbiology laboratories
a mandatory standard for all accredited laboratories that perform microbiological testing of food, animal feed or water using culture media. It defined terms related to quality assurance of culture media and ...
Advances in monitoring-centered quantification of microcystins in fish matrix using UHPLC-MS/MS
five different fish species and cod liver. Moreover, the method was applied on multiple fish samples collected from Belgian waters. Extensive optimizations of the extraction protocol compared to already ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
were the criteria that most influenced the pesticide transfer. Interestingly, infusion parameters that are individual and area dependent such as infusion time, temperature and water hardness, did not ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
innovative methods to apply in the individualization, quantification and characterization of small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices, such as drinking water and milk, in the context of PlasticTrace ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
water, the DNA was extracted with two classical commercial kits or with a kit performing depletion of the host DNA. The extracted DNA also was amplified or not using Phi29 polymerase. We showed that all ...
Development of a reliable UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of zearalenone and zearalenone-14-glucoside in various feed products
in water as the loading solution, 50% methanol in water as the washing solvent, and 5 ml of methanol as the elution solvent yielded the optimal purification efficiencies. The established method was ...
Pesticide Use in Market Gardening and Perceived Risk of Consumers Exposed to Pesticide Residues
that all consumers washed their vegetables before consumption, but more than half of the respondents (54%) wash their vegetables for less than a minute (simply passing them under running water). In the ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Wannes Van Hassel; Bart Huybrechts; Julien Masquelier; Annick Wilmotte; Mirjana Andjelkovic Source: Water, Volume 14, Issue 8 (2022) ...
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
urine were diluted with acidified water and purified on Oasis® HLB SPE cartridges. Limits of quantification were in the range of 1.5–15 ng/g for herbs and 0.025–1 ng/mL for urine. The mean recovery of ...
