A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of fumonisins B1 (FB1) and B2 (FB2) in corn flakes was collaboratively studied by 23 laboratories, which analyzed 5 blind duplicate pairs each matrix to establish accuracy, repeatability, reproducibility characteristics method. Fumonisin levels ranged from <0.05 (blank) 1.41 microg/g FB1 0.56 FB2, whereas they 1.05 0.46 FB2. The involved double extraction with acetonitrile-methanol-water (25 + 25 50), cleanup through an...
Five types of fat retainers were investigated for the lipid-free extraction PCBs from fat-containing matrixes using accelerated solvent extraction: florisil, basic alumina, neutral acidic and sulfuric acid-impregnated silica. All generated fat-free extracts when fat/fat retainer ratio was 1:40. Sulfuric silica florisil only that gave completely clear extracts, former not to show any reaction treated with acid after extraction. Using as retainer, on-line cleanup possible, demonstrated...
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is the most common Fusarium mycotoxin occurring in wheat and wheat-derived products, with several adverse toxic effects animals humans. Although bran fractions produced by milling have numerous health benefits, cereal part of grain highest concentration DON, thus representing a risk for consumers. Increased efforts been made to develop analytical methods suitable rapid DON screening.The applicability Fourier transform near-infrared (FTNIR), or mid-infrared (FTMIR)...
Combating antimicrobial resistance is a top priority worldwide involving concerted action by several high-level institutions and organisations in the health sector. To ensure that meaningful progress achieved, campaigns political initiatives have been launched targeting professionals, industry, farmers, general public. The Regulation (EU) 2019/4 on medicated feed contains provisions for limitation control of contamination non-target compound with 24 antimicrobials. purpose this work was to...
This paper presents a draft protocol for analyzing the results of validation studies qualitative methods detection which is designed to meet three competing goals: (1) give correct answers, (2) have broad scope application, and (3) be accessible wide range users. The can applied by collaborative trial or single-laboratory studies. produces an estimate probability positive response with prediction interval within 95% laboratories (or analytical runs) are expected fall when method in practice....
A 1999 study heightened long-standing concerns over persistent organic pollutant contamination in the Aral Sea area, detecting elevated levels breast milk and cord blood of women Karakalpakstan (western Uzbekistan). These findings prompted a collaborative research aimed at linking such human with evidence food chain area. An international team carried out analyses organochlorine organophosphate pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) on...
An intercomparison study was conducted to determine the presence of processed animal proteins (PAPs), including meat and bone meal (MBM) from various species, in feed. The performances different methods, such as microscopy, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunoassays, a protocol based on iquid chromatography (LC), were compared. Laboratories asked analyze for PAPs all terrestrial animals fish (total PAPs); mammalian PAPs; ruminant porcine PAPs. They free use their method choice. In...
The commercialization of animal feeds infected by prions proved to be the main cause transmission bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Therefore, feed bans were enforced, initially for ruminant feeds, and later all farmed animals. development validation analytical methods species-specific detection proteins in has been indicated TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) Roadmap (European Commission.
