Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
in silico modeling predicts further Alternaria toxins as potential estrogenic factors. Recent studies indicate also an immunosuppressive role of AOH and ATX- II; however, no data are available for the ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
samples during an outbreak investigation requires the samples to be enriched in order to reach detectable levels. However, a bias can occur during the enrichment of the food due to competition between the ...
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
hazard identification IATAs NAMs nanocellulose nanospecific assessment Abstract: Nanocellulose (NC) is an emerging material in the food sector with several prospective application areas. Three main types ...
Integrating VEGA QSAR models in an automated tool to support the risk assessment of non-evaluated food contact material substances

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
had only rarely been associated with human cases of an outbreak, let alone during a real outbreak. Therefore, this PhD centered on the development of shotgun metagenomics methods to study ...

Keywords: DNA extraction HMW DNA Long-read Metagenomics Method evaluation nanopore Abstract: Background: Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) offers an accessible platform for long-read sequencing, which ...
Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS
(AFM1), an emerging mycotoxin of interest, is a potential contaminant in the milk of animals who ingest aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The toxin is regulated in the European Union under Commission Regulation No ...
Regulatory safety assessment of nanoparticles for the food chain in Europe
testing is the physicochemical characterisation of the pristine material, being an engineered nanomaterial, a nanostructured material or a conventional material that contains a fraction of small particles ...
Microbiological safety of aged meat.
prevented by ensuring a meat surface temperature of-0.5 to 3.0°C, with a relative humidity (RH) of 75-85% and an airflow of 0.2-0.5 m/s for up to 35 days. The main meat spoilage bacteria include spp, spp. ...
