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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
