Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
products and domestic cooking to enhance the appearance of food. To obtain specific hues, inorganic food additives containing (nano)particles are mixed in varying concentrations, and pearlescent pigments ...
The overweight epidemic increasingly hits children of lower educated parents in Belgium
Since the BMI (kg/m²) in children is instable, age/sex-specific cutoff points are used to estimate the weighted prevalence (95% confidence interval) of self-reported overweight (including obesity), by SES ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
Dietary exposure of Sorbates (E 200 – 202) and Benzoates (E 210 – 213) for the Belgian population
concentrations varied widely due to the nature of the food/beverage and the specific Maximum Permitted Levels (MPL s) defined by Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008. MPL s were exceeded in 17 samples, while composite ...
Validation of the Flemish-Dutch diabetic foot ulcer scale short form (DFS-SF) questionnaire for diabetic foot ulcers
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) negatively affect the quality of life (QoL) of people with diabetes. The DFU Scale Short Form (DFS- SF) is a validated disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) for ...
Signals from the future: Exploring implications for drug policies
strategic planning through further developing country-specific policy implications, visioning change and roadmapping towards an alternative future for drug policies in 2030+. The strength of this interactive ...
Advances in the physicochemical characterization of nanoparticles in a regulatory context.
STEM- EDX analyses for control purposes requiring identification and measurement of specific particles in complex food matrices and mixtures will be presented. Further, approaches to validate these ...
Multidimensional Fingerprint Development for the Detection of Tribulus terrestris in Plant Food Supplements
fingerprinting at different wavelengths for identification of Tribulus terrestris in plant food supplements. A specific, selective and fast fingerprinting method for Tribulus (reference material obtained from the ...
chromatographic fingerprinting for the detection of herbal adulteration and herbal fraud in plant food supplements
Polymeric Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis is the golden standard for the detection and identification of a specific plant, but in case of adulteration, complex mixtures or the necessity of screening for ...
Preparedness & response for emergency situations: joined forces of H2020 projects in the PREPARE cluster
tackling challenges specifically looking at the preparedness and response phases of crisis management and working together they aim to achieve stronger results and greater impact their cause. Together CO- ...
