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
Viable B. cereus was identified in 18 of the 75 (24%) tested products, resulting in 36 WGS datasets, which were classified into eleven different ST s, with ST165 (n = 10) and ST32 (n = 8) being the most ...
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).
source, the most significant partitioning criteria for urine AsT is typically the recent consumption of fish/seafood. This was also the case for AB, the organic specie of As that is mostly present in fish ...
Development of novel analytical methods to trace small micro- and nanoplastics in food matrices
human health. Most of the produced plastics are used for packaging items, from cosmetic to food applications. Up to now, the most common plastics used for packaging have been petroleum-derived, such as ...
Development of strain-level shotgun metagenomics approaches to detect and characterize microbiological contaminants in the context of food safety
a good alternative to detect and characterize the contaminant, and no enrichment was conducted on these samples, that are considered as non-complex matrices as most of the DNA contamination should belong ...
Comparison of 6 DNA extraction methods for isolation of high yield of high molecular weight DNA suitable for shotgun metagenomics Nanopore sequencing to detect bacteriaAbstractBackgroundResultsConclusion
sequencing, of almost all the bacterial species present in a complex mock community. Conclusion: Amongst the 6 tested methods, the Quick- DNA HMW MagBead Kit (Zymo Research) was considered as the most suitable ...
Aluminium intake through the consumption of selected baby foods and risk characterization in a population of Brazilian infants aged 0 to 36 months
purees intake by girls was higher compared to boys. The baby food that most contributed to Al exposure in the total population, considering mean Al concentration values, was meat/vegetable purees, followed ...
The cost of healthy versus current diets in the Netherlands for households with a low, middle and high education.
(2022) Abstract: The cost of food is an important driver of food choice and most evidence suggests that healthier diets are more costly than less healthy diets. However, current attempts to model the cost ...
Methodological choices in brucellosis burden of disease assessments: A systematic review
Most studies retrieved brucellosis epidemiological data from administrative registries. Incidence data were often estimated on the basis of laboratory-confirmed tests. Not all studies included mortality ...
Cyanotoxins and Food Contamination in Developing Countries: Review of Their Types, Toxicity, Analysis, Occurrence and Mitigation Strategies
the detection of microcystins using different analytical methods. The detected levels mostly surpassed the provisional tolerable daily intake limit set by the World Health Organization, indicating ...
