Physicochemical Characterization of the Pristine E171 Food Additive by Standardized and Validated Methods.
spectrometry (spICP- MS). The evaluation of selected sample preparation protocols allowed identifying and optimizing the critical factors that determine the measurement of the particle size distribution by TEM. ...
Detection strategy targeting a chloramphenicol resistance gene from genetically modified bacteria in food and feed products
resistance (AMR) genes as selection markers, are frequently used to produce food and feed enzymes, additives and flavourings. Such commercialized microbial fermentation products should not contain GMM, or ...
Piacentinu Ennese PDO cheese as reservoir of promising probiotic bacteria.
in order to select promising probiotic strains to be further used in humans. One hundred and sixty-nine lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from 90 days ripened cheeses and identified by Rep- PCR ...
Habitual food consumption of the Belgian population in 2014-2015 and adherence to food-based dietary guidelines.
A representative sample of the Belgian population was randomly selected from the National Population Register following a multistage stratified sampling procedure. Information on dietary intake was collected from ...
Tobacco, Sunflower and High Biomass SRC Clones Show Potential for Trace Metal Phytoextraction on a Moderately Contaminated Field Site in Belgium.
species, were evaluated during consecutive years. Biomass production and metal accumulation of pre-selected tobacco somaclonal variants (L.) and pre-selected sunflower mutants (L.) were investigated for two ...
Analysis of mineral oil in food: results of a Belgian market survey
of liquid chromatography with gas chromatography (LC – GC) with flame ionisation detection (FID) was used for the quantification of MOSH and MOAH. Totally, 217 packed food samples were selected using ...
A more sensitive, efficient and ISO 17025 validated Magnetic Capture real time PCR method for the detection of archetypal Toxoplasma gondii strains in meat.
biotinylated probes with the capture of those probes with streptavidin-coated paramagnetic beads, T. gondii DNA can selectively be “fished out” from a large volume of meat lysate. Still, several studies showed ...
The added value of food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) information to estimate the usual food intake based on repeated 24-hour recalls
were selected from the database of the Belgian food consumption survey of 2004 (N = 3200). The usual intake distribution for these food items was modeled with the Statistical Program for Analysis of ...
Study of the possible migration risks of food contact materials for children under 3 years
a selection of representative baby bottles. For migration testing, the use of simulants is prescribed in the legislation to mimic the testing of real foods. Specifically, a mixture of water-EtOH (50:50, v/v) is ...
