Dietary intake of lycopene by the Belgian adult population.
in Belgium. CONCLUSIONS: The lycopene intake of the Belgian adult population was comparable to intakes reported in neighbouring countries and was below the acceptable daily intake. Manuscript versions: DOI: ...
Analysis of chlormequat residue in milk by UPLC-MS/MS
at the LOQ and at a higher level (10 times LOQ — 0.25 mg/kg). Results show a recovery of approximately 100% (between 100.6 and 103.0) with a repeatability and in-house reproducibility below 10%. These ...
Influence of isolation methods on the occurrence of plasmid-carrying Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:3 in slaughter pig tonsils, faeces and carcass surface swabs.
carcass samples were contaminated below the detection limit of enumeration. The relative sensitivity of the methods to recover pathogenic Y. enterocolitica varied among the different matrices. Nevertheless, ...
Scientific opinion on the risk for public health related to the presence of mercury and methylmercury in food
data from blood and hair indicate that methylmercury exposure is generally below the TWI in Europe, but higher levels are also observed. Exposure to methylmercury above the TWI is of concern. If measures ...
Scientific opinion on the presence of dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs) in commercially available foods for infants and young children
of 516 samples wasincluded in the evaluation, reported by 13 European countries and covering the period 2003 to 2011. Allaccepted data (upper-bound) were below the current ML s for foods for infants ...
Effect of household and industrial processing on levels of some pesticide residues in carrots
with a large quantity of water, enhanced the elimination of residues. Even residual concentrations were below 5 ppb, it was observed that microwave cooking did not reduce the level of residues while ...
Scientific Opinion of the EFSA Panel on Plant Protection Products and their Residues (PPR), Guidance on the use of probabilistic methodology for modelling dietary exposure to pesticide residues
pessimistic assumptions are used for the effects of processingand for residues below the level of reporting.A separate section is devoted to additional approaches required for modelling exposure to ...
Determinants of folate status in pregnant women: results from a national cross-sectional survey in Belgium.
ng/ml) among first trimester and 496 ng/ml (95% confidence interval=474-515 ng/ml) among third trimester women. Few women had a RBC folate concentration below 140 ng/ml, indicating depletion of folate ...
Previous healthcare exposure is the main antecedent for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus carriage on hospital admission in Belgium.
spa- CC002- ST5- II and spa- CC032- ST22- IV remained relatively stable. The proportion of PVL-positive CA- MRSA and LA- MRSA ST398 was below 2% of all MRSA. The extra-hospital MRSA reservoir in Belgium ...
Modelling aluminium leaching into food from different foodware materials with multi-level factorial design of experiments.
glassware and stainless steel. Indeed, in the studied conditions, leaching from these latter food wares was often close to or even below the limit of quantification suggesting that the principal sources of Al ...
