Adjunct Culture of Non-Starter Lactic Acid Bacteria for the Production of Provola Dei Nebrodi PDO Cheese: In Vitro Screening and Pilot-Scale Cheese-Making.
strains, included in the qualified presumption of safety (QPS) list, were tested for technological and proteinase/peptidase activities. Results showed that technological features and flavour formation ...
Concentrations and distribution of chlorinated paraffins in Belgian foods
occurrence of long-chain CP s (LCCP s). LCCP s were detected in 35% of the 20 subset samples while the HRMS results for SCCP s and MCCP s matched closely with those obtained by GC- MS. This study reveals the ...
Iron Deficiency Is a Risk Factor for Thyroid Dysfunction During Pregnancy: A Population-Based Study in Belgium
concentrations (UIC s) were measured and body iron stores (BIS) were calculated. Results: Median UIC s were 117 and 132 μg/L in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy, respectively (p < 0.05). The ...
The nature of food promotions over one year in circulars from leading Belgian supermarket chains
addition, promotional characters (i.e. cartoons, licensed characters, celebrities) and premium offers within the promotions were analysed. Results: In total, 15,271 food promotions were analyzed. The most ...
A detailed mapping of the food industry in the European single market: similarities and differences in market structure across countries and sectors
concentration ratio (CR4). CR4-values > 40% and HHI-values > 2000 indicate concentrated markets with limited competition. Results: The leading packaged food and non-alcoholic beverage manufacturers and the ...

ConsumerScan Panel food price data. Statistical analyses performed: Associations were estimated using linear regressions. Results: The mean daily diet cost was US $6.51 (standard error of mean [SEM] US $0.08; ...
Organisation of Multi-Mycotoxin Proficiency Tests: Evaluation of the Performances of the Laboratories Using the Triple A Rating Approach
of the results of the participants at Horwitz ratios <1.2. The z scores were generated for all mycotoxins, and the results were pooled to calculate the relative sum of squared z scores (SZ2) indexes ...
Production of Alternaria Toxins in Yellow Peach (Amygdalus persica) upon Artificial Inoculation with Alternaria alternate
chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC- MS / MS). The results showed that the growth of A. alternate and the AT s production were dramatically affected by the storage temperature. At 28 °C, the fungi grew rapidly ...
