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 ...
Development, validation and application of multi-class methods for the analysis of food additives by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry
data for exposure assessments. The QuEChERS principle was applied due to its ease of implementation and flexibility to adjust to various food matrices. However, very polar substances could not be ...
Market concentration and the healthiness of packaged food and non-alcoholic beverage sales across the European single market
healthiness of food and beverage sales across Europe. Design: Market share (MS) data per country were used to calculate market concentration, assessed by the four-firm concentration ratio and market diversity, ...
Modeling the migration of chemicals from food contact materials to food: The MERLIN-expo/VERMEER toolbox
simulations showed a good match between predicted and experimental values. The tested models can be used to provide insights in the amount and the type of toxicological data that are needed for the safety ...
Evaluation of the risks for animal health related to the presence of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) in feed for honey bees
drones and queens for which no or insufficient toxicity data were available. Winter bees have a much longer lifespan than summer bees and HMF shows clear time reinforced toxicity (TRT) characteristics. ...
The cost of diets according to diet quality and sociodemographic characteristics in children and adolescents in Belgium
Nutrition (2021) Abstract: This study aims to estimate cost variations according to diet quality and sociodemographic characteristics in children. Data (n = 1,596; 5-17 y) from the Belgian National Food ...
Application of a strain-level shotgun metagenomics approach on food samples: resolution of the source of a Salmonella food-borne outbreak
food samples could circumvent this need for isolation from the suspected source, but require downstream strain-level data analysis to be able to accurately link to the human isolate. Until now, this ...
Safety assessment of titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive.
reliable, including data obtained with TiO nanoparticles (NP s) and data from an extended one-generation reproductive toxicity (EOGRT) study. Less than 50% of constituent particles by number in E 171 have ...
Particle size analysis of pristine food-grade titanium dioxide and E 171 in confectionery products: Interlaboratory testing of a SP-ICP-MS screening method and confirmation with transmission electron microscopy.
transport efficiency, type of mass-spectrometer) and software-specific data treatment algorithms. Differences in the upper bound were identified as being due to the non-harmonised application of the upper ...
