Increasing demand for organic products and their premium prices make them an attractive target fraudulent malpractices. In this study, a large-scale comparative metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the effect of agronomic production system on metabolite composition carrots build statistical models prediction purposes. Orthogonal projections latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) successfully predict origin agricultural harvested basis features determined by liquid...
Background While it is established that vertebrate-like steroids, particularly estrogens (estradiol, estrone) and androgens (testosterone), are present in various tissues of molluscs, still unclear what role these play reproductive endocrinology such organisms. This despite the significant commercial shellfishery interest several bivalve species their decline. Methodology/Principal Findings Using suppression subtraction hybridisation mussel gonad samples at two stages (early mature)...
Inconsistent quantification results obtained from various analytical methods for food allergen testing hamper an accurate quantitative risk assessment and its regulatory implementation. In order to overcome such problems, a concept aiming at ensuring the comparability of measurement is presented here. It based on approach called reference system allergens, which uses commonly agreed reference, namely 'mass fraction total protein allergenic ingredient in food'. The necessary components are...
The accurate quantification of food allergens is crucial for ensuring consumer safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. A proficiency test (PT) was organised to evaluate the performance laboratories in quantifying total egg milk protein cookies. PT involved 20 laboratories, which reported results using mainly commercial ELISA kits liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). findings indicate a satisfactory determination among majority participant laboratories....
Abstract The establishment of a reference method for the determination allergen protein content in processed food material has been explored. An analytical approach was developed to enable comparability measurement results expressed decision-relevant manner. A proof concept is here presented, resulting quantity values common measurand, namely ‘mass total per mass food’. quantities are determined with SI traceability reported results. quantification milk an incurred baked at concentration...
Intersex, the appearance of female characteristics in male gonads, has been identified a wide range aquatic species worldwide, yet underpinning molecular etiology remains uncharacterized. The presence intersex shown to be widespread phenomenon bivalve, S. plana, populations from southwest coast U.K., as well inducible an experimental exposure regime using endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Herein, we use suppressive subtractive hybridization approach isolate differentially expressed...
A method validation study for the determination of ochratoxin in black and white pepper (Piper spp.), nutmeg (Myristica fragrans), spice mix (blend ginger, turmeric, pepper, nutmeg, chili), cocoa powder, drinking chocolate was conducted according to International Harmonized Protocol Union Pure Applied Chemistry. The is based on extraction samples with aqueous methanol, followed by a cleanup extract an immunoaffinity column. carried out reversed-phase LC coupled fluorescence detector....
Abstract A feasibility interlaboratory comparison (ILC) was organised by the European Commission’s (EC) Joint Research Centre (JRC) on determination of mass fraction total cow’s milk protein in baked cookies. The ILC to support Commission Regulation (EU) 1169/2011 provision food information consumers, including mandatory allergen labelling and harmonisation measurement procedures used for analysis. An incurred cookie prepared at JRC samples were sent participants laboratories asked report...
Interlaboratory comparisons (ILC) in the food allergens field mainly rely on use of consensus values per applied methodology or even type an ELISA test kit. Results suggest good reproducibility; however, possible biases may not be recognized since metrological traceability to independent reference is lacking. The work presented here utilizes isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) assign a value total cow's milk protein (TCMP) content baked cookie and its associated uncertainty. TCMP...
In order to compare food allergen measurement results, analysis has provide results for a common measurand, relevant risk assessments, when using different principles or procedures.This manuscript presents how this could be achieved by introducing the concept of reference system allergens.A prominent role making metrologically traceable same is played properly designed Reference Measurement Procedures. Additional anchor points are necessary practical realisation traceability chain, in...
