Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing
Viable B. cereus was identified in 18 of the 75 (24%) tested products, resulting in 36 WGS datasets, which were classified into eleven different ST s, with ST165 (n = 10) and ST32 (n = 8) being the most ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
of structurally diverse secondary metabolites with toxic potential has been identified, but occurrence and relative proportion of the different metabolites in complex mixtures depend on strain, ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...
Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
control laboratories and only limited guidance is currently available3. This study developed electron microscopy-based methods to identify and characterize the particles of individual components in eight ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
larger MP s in terms of occurrence, distribution, quantification, and toxicological effects on humans identifying food as their main intake source. Nowadays, research interest is going towards MP s with ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
analysing the DNA of the sample, it can identify the presence of various pathogens to the strain level. Moreover, adaptive sampling is a new tool proposed during nanopore sequencing to target certain DNA ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
optimisation is a suitable tool to formulate FBDG s finding trade-offs between conflicting goals and taking several dimensions into account. We identified a lack of evidence for the extent to which constraints ...
Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms
