Providing Measurement, Evaluation, Accountability, and Leadership Support (MEALS) for Non-communicable Diseases Prevention in Ghana: Project Protocol
interventions with strong potential to improve food environments of Ghanaian children, the MEALS4NCD s protocol has innovatively integrated a local community participatory approach based on the community ...
Guidance in selecting analytical techniques for identification and quantification of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials (FCMS)
plastics Abstract: There are numerous approaches and methodologies for assessing the identity and quantities of non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) in food contact materials (FCM s). They can give ...
A Targeted UHPLC-MS/MS Method Validated for the Quantification of Ergot Alkaloids in Cereal-Based Baby Food from the Belgian Market
epimers. The method is able to reliably detect individual ergot alkaloids at a level as low as 0.5 ng g−1. The method uses a modified QuEChERS extraction approach before UHPLC- MS / MS analysis. The method ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
more easily obtained isolates from infected people. When no food isolate can be obtained, the source of the outbreak cannot be unambiguously determined. Shotgun metagenomics approaches applied to the ...
Dietary exposure of the Belgian population to microplastics through a diverse food basket
Keywords: microplastics Abstract: presentation during Scientific Colloquium 25 “A coordinated approach to assess the human health risks of micro- and nanoplastics in food,” Health Topics: Food consumption ...
Reverse thinking: taking a healthy diet perspective towards food systems transformations
characteristics. Transformational approaches and policies should also take into account the stage of food system development requiring different strategies to ensure healthier diets for consumers. We review current ...
Organisation of Multi-Mycotoxin Proficiency Tests: Evaluation of the Performances of the Laboratories Using the Triple A Rating Approach
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Emmanuel Tangni; Bart Huybrechts; Julien Masquelier; Els Van Hoeck Source: Toxins, Volume 13, Issue 9 (2021) Keywords: Cereals Mycotoxins performances proficiency testing reference materials trip ...
A shotgun metagenomics approach to detect and characterize unauthorized genetically modified microorganisms in microbial fermentation products
constructs/events. However, when the GMM was not previously characterized and an isolate cannot be obtained, its presence cannot be proven. We present a metagenomics approach cap- able of delivering the proof of ...
Update of the risk assessment of hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in food
a health‐based guidance value (HBGV) was not considered appropriate. Instead, the margin of exposure (MOE) approach was applied to assess possible health concerns. Over 6,000 analytical results for HBCDD s in food ...
Identifying nanodescriptors to predict the toxicity of nanomaterials: a case study on titanium dioxide
broader contexts such as safety-by-design approaches, which require linking of material specific properties to the toxicological outcome. Health Topics: Food consumption and food safety Consommation et ...
