Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
spray colours. Often the layer of titanium dioxide particles detached from the mica, and titanium dioxide particles were also observed forming near-spherical aggregates. STEM- EDX tomography allowed ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
CNC. Pro-inflammatory responses accompanied by massive NC uptake in macrophages, indicative for potential immunotoxicological effects, and barrier function impairment were observed, whereas no ...
Targeted High-Throughput Sequencing Enables the Detection of Single Nucleotide Variations in CRISPR/Cas9 Gene-Edited Organisms
detected, both at high and low percentages. No impact related to food processing or to the presence of other crop species was observed. The present proof-of-concept study has allowed us to deliver the first ...
Regulatory safety assessment of nanoparticles for the food chain in Europe
observations from assessing existing materials are provided to facilitate to a wider readership adequate implementation of the regulatory requirements. Main findings and conclusions The starting point for safety ...
Aluminium intake through the consumption of selected baby foods and risk characterization in a population of Brazilian infants aged 0 to 36 months
frequency and daily food consumption (in g/day) were observed for infant formulas and meat/vegetable purees, respectively. Boys presented higher frequency consumption of infant formulas, while meat/vegetable ...
Providing Measurement, Evaluation, Accountability, and Leadership Support (MEALS) for Non-communicable Diseases Prevention in Ghana: Project Protocol
(INFORMAS). Methods: The protocol for this observational study draws substantially from the INFORMAS ’ Food Promotion and Food Provision Modules. However, to appraise the readiness of local communities to implement ...
Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
decreasing. These resources can only slowly be replenished. An increase in water storage deficits in Europe was observed after the dry summers of 2018 and 2019 compared to the water storage deficits after the ...
Benchmarking the nutrition-related commitments and practices of major Belgian food companies.
foods was 75% (range = 2%-100%) across product portfolios. No significant correlations were observed between the strength of commitments and related performance indicators. CONCLUSION: Food industry ...
Pharmacokinetics of Oral Rebaudioside A in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Its Effects on Glucose Homeostasis: A Placebo-Controlled Crossover Trial
observed for rebaudioside A in mice, they have been attributed to the metabolites steviol and steviol glucuronide. We aimed to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of rebaudioside ...
Evaluation of the risks for animal health related to the presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in feed for honey bees
A benchmark dose lower limit 10% (BMDL10) of 1.16 μg HMF per bee per day has been calculated from mortalities observed in a 20‐day study and established as a Reference Point covering also mortality in larvae, ...
