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 ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
level, were specifically designed for this application and need to be assessed. Results: In this study, with different bacterial cocktail mixes, analyzed as pure or spiked in a synthetic fecal matrix, we ...
Nanomaterials for food applications: Analytical challenges and practical solutions for enforcing labeling of nanoingredients in food products in the European Union
Nanoparticles Single particle ICP-MS Abstract: Food ingredients present in the form of engineered nanoparticles (NP s) require specific labeling as “nano” in the European Union. Enforcing proper labeling of ...
Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
ton DW per ha per year. The remediation period to reach legal threshold values for the pseudo-total content of Cd in this specific soil was estimated to be at least 60 years. Combining estimated ...
Comparison of SNP-based subtyping workflows for bacterial isolates using WGS data, applied to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium and serotype 1,4,[5],12:i:.
isolates and sensitivity towards sequencing coverage, which could be linked to the specific data analysis strategies used therein. To demonstrate the effect of particular data analysis steps, several ...
Biological activity conferred by endocrine disrupting chemicals in hospital effluent and river water from the Brussels Region, Belgium
gene expression) bioassay using a luciferase reporter gene as part of BG1 luc4E2 cells (human ovarian adenocarcinoma). Responses are time, dose, and ligand specific using 17β-estradiol (the natural ...
In vitro model to study the endocrine disrupting activity of migration products from plastic food contact materials
luciferase gene, as a reporter gene, and a DNA responsive element specific to the human oestrogen receptor. The biological activity of a chemical compound is monitored by the measurement of light emitted by ...
