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
Foods,-, Paris, France (2023) Keywords: analytical methods food matrices microplastics nanoplastics Abstract: In the last decades, our life style significantly changed, for instance in terms of consumption ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
various living organisms or the cultivation parameters. Moreover, the current methods require a subsequent but not always successful isolation. In part due to these two drawbacks, not all outbreaks can be ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...
ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
investigations indicated two clusters: HC5_296366 (cluster 1) and HC5_298160 (cluster 2). We assessed the extent of the outbreak in Belgium and took measures to limit further spread. Methods Probable and ...
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 ...
Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes
methods for Salmonella serotyping, i.e. slide-agglutination and biochemical tests, are expensive, time-consuming and subjective. Therefore, highly trained and experienced technicians are required to perform ...
Automation and validation of TEM characterization methods
Publication Type: Scientific poster, presentation or proceeding Authors: Eveline Verleysen Source: Workshop: Physicochemical characterisation of nano-sized particles in food, Tervuren, Belgium (2019) Health Topics: Food consumption and food safety Consom ...
Open Lab Application for the Characterization of Nanomaterials by Transmission Electron Microscopy
specific needs such as food and food contact materials, biocidal products, cosmetics and medical devices. As a consequence there is a growing need for validated characterization methods and for certified ...
