Retrospective surveillance of viable Bacillus cereus group contaminations in commercial food and feed vitamin B2 products sold on the Belgian market using whole-genome sequencing

Kevin Vanneste Source: Frontiers in Microbiology, Volume 14 (2023) Keywords: Bacillus cereus Food Additives riboflavin Surveillance whole-genome sequencing Abstract: Bacillus cereus is a spore-forming ...

Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.

limits. Consideration of the transfer of pesticides from the leaves (called transfer factors) to the brew is essential to assess the associated risk. This study identified infusion parameters influencing ...

Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX

mixtures, characterisation of the fraction of small particles, including the particle size distribution, is needed for each single constituent or each component in the mixture2. This is challenging for ...

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 ...

Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling

resolved. Shotgun metagenomics is a sequencing method involving the analysis of the genetic material directly extracted from a sample, without the need for an isolation of the bacteria. By sequencing and ...

Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety

It was proven that whole genome sequencing has a higher resolution than any combination of tests carried out so far. But the isolation is not always possible, and it is time-consuming. A new method ...

Simultaneous Detection and Quantification of Aflatoxin M1, Eight Microcystin Congeners and Nodularin in Dairy Milk by LC-MS/MS

among infants and children. However, it is crucial to address the presence of multiple natural toxic compounds that may co-occur in dairy milk to ensure its safety prior to consumption. Aflatoxin M1 ...

The contribution of cacao consumption to the bioaccessible dietary cadmium exposure in the Belgian population

chocolate) lower compared to wheat flour, suggesting lower bioavailability in chocolate than in wheat, which is a main contributor to dietary Cd. This study suggests that Cd intake from cacao consumption has ...
