labelling of food ingredient to indicate the presence of engineered nanomaterials there is now a need for standardised and validated methods to appropriately size and quantify (nano)particles in food ...
Burden of non-communicable diseases in Cyprus, 1990–2017: findings from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 study
(YLD s), and DALY s in Cyprus in 2017, and 2) identify changes in the burden of NCD s in Cyprus over the 28-year period and assess the main drivers of these changes. Methods We performed a secondary ...
In utero exposure to parabens and early childhood BMI z-scores – Associations between placental ethyl paraben, longitudinal BMI trajectories and cord blood metabolic biomarkers
investigated longitudinal effects of in utero paraben exposure on early childhood trajectories of BMI z-scores. Methods: Placental concentrations of four parabens [methyl (MeP), ethyl (EtP), propyl (PrP), and ...
CBD oils on the Belgian market: A validated MRM GC-MS/MS method for routine quality control using QuEChERS sample clean up
CBD content not always corresponds to the label claim. There is a pressing need to develop new analytical methods specifically developed to the assay of such oily samples. Analytical issues are, ...

Staphylococcal enterotoxin gene cluster: prediction of enterotoxin (SEG and SEI) production and of the source of food poisoning based on Saβ typing.
many people. Most of these outbreaks remain undiscovered as detection methods for enterotoxins are only available for a few enterotoxins, but not for the more recently discovered enterotoxin G (SEG) and ...
A genoserotyping system for a fast and objective identification of Salmonella serotypes commonly isolated from poultry and pork food sectors in Belgium.
Salmonella can lead to economic loss in the food sector. Previously, a genoserotyping method using the MOL- PCR and Luminex technology was developed for the identification of the 6 Salmonella serotypes, and ...
