Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
species, were evaluated during consecutive years. Biomass production and metal accumulation of pre-selected tobacco somaclonal variants (L.) and pre-selected sunflower mutants (L.) were investigated for two ...
Analysis of mineral oil in food: results of a Belgian market survey
of liquid chromatography with gas chromatography (LC – GC) with flame ionisation detection (FID) was used for the quantification of MOSH and MOAH. Totally, 217 packed food samples were selected using ...
A more sensitive, efficient and ISO 17025 validated Magnetic Capture real time PCR method for the detection of archetypal Toxoplasma gondii strains in meat.
biotinylated probes with the capture of those probes with streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads, T. gondii DNA can selectively be “fished out” from a large volume of meat lysate. Still, several studies showed ...
The added value of food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) information to estimate the usual food intake based on repeated 24-hour recalls
were selected from the database of the Belgian food consumption survey of 2004 (N = 3200). The usual intake distribution for these food items was modeled with the Statistical Program for Analysis of ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
a selection of representative baby bottles. For migration testing, the use of simulants is prescribed in the legislation to mimic the testing of real foods. Specifically, a mixture of water-EtOH (50:50, v/v) is ...

pCAMBIA), were selected to develop a strategy allowing to detect and characterize a broad range of GMO. This strategy, fully integrated in the GMO routine analysis, consists to characterize sequences ...
Protocol of the Belgian food consumption survey 2014: objectives, design and methods.
A representative sample (n = 3200) of the Belgian population aged 3 to 64 years old was randomly selected from the National Population Register following a multistage stratified sampling procedure. Data collection ...
Strategies to detect unauthorized genetically modified organisms in food and feed chain
or exclusively observed in EU unauthorized GMO (t35S pCAMBIA), were selected to develop a strategy allowing to detect and characterize a broad range of GMO. This strategy, fully integrated in the GMO ...
Construction of Nontoxigenic Mutants of Nonproteolytic Clostridium botulinum NCTC 11219 by Insertional Mutagenesis and Gene Replacement.
using a new gene replacement strategy that makes use of pyrE as a bidirectional selection marker. Growth under optimal and stressed conditions, sporulation efficiency, and spore heat resistance of the ...
Evaluation of the migration of chemicals from baby bottles under standardised and duration testing conditions.
toxicity assessment, the most toxic migrating compounds were selected to be monitored and quantified using validated GC- and LC-QqQ- MS methods. The effect of several ‘real-life-use conditions’, such as ...
