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

control laboratories and only limited guidance is currently available3. This study developed electron microscopy-based methods to identify and characterize the particles of individual components in eight ...

Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices

Foods,-, Paris, France (2023) Keywords: analytical methods food matrices microplastics nanoplastics Abstract: In the last decades, our life style significantly changed, for instance in terms of consumption ...

BSFM 2023- L. monocytogenes in Plant-Based Foods: insights from of a recent foodborne outbreak linked to vegan alternative to cheese

Materials and Methods Food samples were collected by the Belgian Federal Agency for the Safety of the Food Chain (FASFC) and analysed at the National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for Foodborne outbreaks ...

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

various living organisms or the cultivation parameters. Moreover, the current methods require a subsequent but not always successful isolation. In part due to these two drawbacks, not all outbreaks can be ...

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 ...

ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings

investigations indicated two clusters:   HC5_296366 (cluster 1) and HC5_298160 (cluster 2).  We assessed the extent of the outbreak in Belgium and took measures to limit further spread. Methods Probable and ...

Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health

conventional methods in e.g. the field of pathogen detection/characterization along the food chain, starting from the food production environment (including detection of AMR genes) until foodborne outbreak ...

Development of a genoserotyping system for the identification of Salmonella serotypes

methods for Salmonella serotyping, i.e. slide-agglutination and biochemical tests, are expensive, time-consuming and subjective. Therefore, highly trained and experienced technicians are required to perform ...
