Physicochemical characterization and genotoxicity assessment of nanomaterials using new approach methodologies
assessment [1,2]. Currently, hazard and risk assessment still heavily relies on conventional animal testing. Use of new approach methodologies (NAM s) can fill certain data gaps and complement the available safety ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
compared to the conventional methods. The meat previously spiked with STEC was also used to investigate the difference between Illumina short reads or Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads ...
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 ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
conventional methods in e.g. the field of pathogen detection/characterization along the food chain, starting from the food production environment (including detection of AMR genes) until foodborne outbreak ...
Determination of the Transport Efficiency in spICP-MS Analysis Using Conventional Sample Introduction Systems: An Interlaboratory Comparison Study
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Otmar Geiss; Ivana Bianchi; Guillaume Bucher; Eveline Verleysen; Frederic Brassinne; Jan Mast; Katrin Loeschner; Lucas Givelet; Francesco Cubadda; Francesca Ferraris; Andrea Raggi; Francesca Iaco ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
conventional analysis based on isolation, serotyping and MLVA (multilocus variable number tandem repeat analysis) comparison, followed by whole-genome sequencing, to confirm the source of the contamination over ...
Construction of Nontoxigenic Mutants of Nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum NCTC 11219 by Insertional Mutagenesis and Gene Replacement.
can grow and produce botulinum neurotoxin during refrigerated storage. The principles of control of gIICb by conventional food processing and preservation methods have been well investigated and ...
An Alternative Method Validation Strategy for the European Decision 2002/657/EC
performance characteristic is not increased since the degrees of freedom are equal or higher compared to the conventional validation plan. Only 24 samples (27 samples for a balanced design) are needed with this ...
Food contamination with pyrrolizidine alkaloids: the expected and the unexpected
transfer rate contrasts with the conventional strategy used by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) consisting of applying a dilution factor to the PA s concentration found in the dry plant products to ...
How safe are your infusions? Analysis of pyrrolizidine alkaloids in plant based products using UHPLC-MS/MS & highlighting of their transfer rate during brewing.
during the brewing process of (herbal) teas (15-25%). This transfer rate contrasts with the conventional strategy consisting of applying a dilution factor to the PA s concentration found in the dry plant ...
