Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
of convenient food or usage of single-use items. As a direct consequence, the production of plastics is globally increasing, as well as their release into the environment, threatening wildlife and ...
EFSA Project on the use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) for the hazard assessment of nanofibres. Lot 1, nanocellulose oral exposure: gastrointestinal digestion, nanofibres uptake and local effects
submitted to a thorough physicochemical characterisation. A battery of in vitro tests was used to provide insight into NC hazard and mode of action according to a tiered approach, which lead to selection of ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
water, the DNA was extracted with two classical commercial kits or with a kit performing depletion of the host DNA. The extracted DNA also was amplified or not using Phi29 polymerase. We showed that all ...
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
evaluated the performances of 6 DNA extraction methods using various cells lysis and purification techniques, from quick and easy, to more time-consuming and gentle protocols, including a portable method for ...

Development, Validation and Application of a Targeted LC-MS Method for Quantification of Microcystins and Nodularin: Towards a Better Characterization of Drinking Water
droughts during the summers of 2003 and 2015, as shown by the GRACE and GRACE- FO data record [1]. A high water storage deficit was also observed in Belgium in 2018 and 2019 [1]. Freshwater is not only used ...

METROFOOD-RI: Pilot services with physical, remote and virtual access
this model of service provision, three use cases have been defined that are representative of the different types of access that will be provided by METROFOOD- RI: physical access to a food pilot plant ...
Migration of mineral oil from cardboard packaging for food: Identification of the hazards and assessment of the exposure of the Belgian population
a different toxicological profile, the two fractions were quantified separately using an online combination of liquid chromatography and gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (online LC- GC- FID). ...
