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
bacterium that occurs as a contaminant in food and feed, occasionally resulting in food poisoning through the production of various toxins. In this study, we retrospectively characterized viable B. cereus ...
Hazard characterization of Alternaria toxins to identify data gaps and improve risk assessment for human health.
Fungi of the genus Alternaria are ubiquitous plant pathogens and saprophytes which are able to grow under varying temperature and moisture conditions as well as on a large range of substrates. A spectrum ...
Modelling the pesticide transfer during tea and herbal tea infusions by the identification of critical infusion parameters.
were the criteria that most influenced the pesticide transfer. Interestingly, infusion parameters that are individual and area dependent such as infusion time, temperature and water hardness, did not ...
Urine concentrations of Arsenic and its species in adolescents from Wallonia (Belgium).
Corine; Karlien Cheyns Source: ISEAC 41, ISEAC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (2023) Keywords: Arsenic speciation biomonitoring urine Abstract: In the present study, we assessed urine concentrations of As and ...
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
strands to be sequenced preferably. The combination of metagenomics and adaptive sampling could allow to circumvent the isolation but also the enrichment of the food sample. Materials and Methods As ...
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
(iii) assessment of any digestion or degradation of NC by the human microbiome. Eight NC samples belonging to the three NC types, plus a comparator in the micro-range, were selected as study materials and ...
Cost and greenhouse gas emissions of current, healthy, flexitarian and vegan diets in Aotearoa (New Zealand)
generally at a higher cost to households. The results reflect trade-offs, with the larger constraints placed on diets, the greater cost and factors such as nutritional adequacy, variety, cost and ...
Integration of various dimensions in food-based dietary guidelines via mathematical approaches: report of a DGE/FENS Workshop in Bonn, Germany, 23–24 September 2019Abstract
view of pressing challenges, such as climate change and the rising burden of diet-related diseases, the simultaneous integration of evidence-based findings from different dimensions into FBDG s is ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
chosen for further studies (i.e. 24 hours enrichment as stated in the current international standard procedure, classical commercial DNA extraction and no amplification). Cheese samples were spiked with ...
