Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
strength, or barrier activity against oxygen and carbon dioxide, and the cost-effectiveness. However, apart from macroplastics, we are facing with the serious problem of microplastics (MP s) and nanoplastics ...
The Changing Landscape of Food Deserts and Swamps over More than a Decade in Flanders, Belgium.
respectively. Although the area that could become a food desert in the future due to these sociospatial and demographic evolutions is large, food deserts are currently a relatively small problem in Flanders in ...

Discrimination of three genetically close Aspergillus species by using high resolution melting analysis applied to indoor air as case study.
therefore important. To avoid problems linked to culture-dependent protocols, molecular methods are increasingly being proposed as an alternative. Among these molecular methods, the polymerase chain reaction ...
How can we better detect unauthorized GMO in the food and feed chain
unauthorized genetically modified organisms (GMO s). Here, we propose a new workflow, based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology, to overcome this problem. In providing information about DNA sequences, ...
