Identification and characterization of inorganic food additives and pearlescent pigments in sprays for food decoration by STEM-EDX
the properties of the particles consumers are exposed to. Samples were prepared by spraying 5mL in a glass vial and coated on EM-grids using the grid-on-drop method. Scanning transmission electron ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
a diameter smaller 1 µm, called nanoplastics (NP s) that could be found in food matrices and environmental samples, by means of specific measurement techniques. Therefore, the aim of this work is to develop ...
Strain-level characterization without culture enrichment? Easing and accelerating outbreak investigation using shotgun metagenomics facilitated with nanopore adaptive sampling
Keersmaecker Source: BSFM, BSFM, Brussels, Belgium (2023) Keywords: adaptive sampling nanopore outbreak investigation shotgun metagenomics Abstract: Introduction Traditionally, the investigation of suspect food ...
ESCAIDE 2022 Oral presentation: International outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium linked to a chocolate factory in 2022: Belgian findings
were analysed for Salmonella spp. using real-time PCR. Whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis of isolates of probable cases and positive food samples is still ongoing. Results We identified 62 probable ...
Shotgun metagenomics as a ONE Health tool for better protecting human health
identify all biological material in a sample without a priori knowing what to look for, could transform the way specific key public health questions can be addressed, in a ONE Health context. Metagenomics is ...
Food Chemistry, Function and AnalysisDNA Techniques to Verify Food Authenticity CHAPTER 8. GMO Detection and Identification Using Next-generation Sequencing
feasibility in supporting the current genetically modified organism (GMO) routine detection systems for unauthorized GMO. Depending upon the specific samples under investigation, two categories of NGS ...
Open Lab Application for the Characterization of Nanomaterials by Transmission Electron Microscopy
complex matrices such as food, cosmetics, medicines and environmental samples. A high degree of automation of the EM imaging and image analysis was recently developed to facilitate the measurement of ...
Nanomaterials for food applications: Analytical challenges and practical solutions for enforcing labeling of nanoingredients in food products in the European Union
“nano” labeling poses several analytical challenges. This includes the many potential sources of NP s in food which can interfere with the analysis, the challenges in relation to sample preparation, the ...
