The European Commission requested EFSA to compare the reliability of wild boar density estimates across EU and provide guidance improve data collection methods. Currently, only EU-wide available are hunting data. Their methods should be harmonised comparable predictive models for density. These could validated by more precise data, collected at local level e.g. camera trapping. Based on practical theoretical considerations, it is currently not possible establish thresholds that do allow...
Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA periodically updates database on host plants of
The results of an inter-laboratory study with five commercially available peanut ELISA test kits to detect and quantify residues in two food matrices (biscuit dark chocolate) at four different concentrations (0-10 mg kg(-1) matrix corresponding about 0-2.5 protein matrix) are reported. In general the evaluated could matrices. three cases, challenged beyond their intended use for quantification below manufacturers' defined cut-off limits. Generally, all performed well concentration range 5-10...
Studies evaluating the safety and efficacy of lactic acetic acids to reduce microbiological surface contamination on pork carcasses pre-chill meat cuts post-chill were assessed. Lactic acid treatments consisted 2-5% solutions at temperatures up 80°C applied by spraying or 55°C dipping. Acetic 2-4% 40°C The maximum treatment duration was 30 s. Panel concluded that: [1] are no concern, provided that substances comply with European Union specifications for food additives; [2] efficacious...
EFSA was requested by the European Commission to produce a report on susceptibility of olive varieties Apulian strain Xylella fastidiosa (subsp.pauca CoDiRO, ST53).A systematic literature search identified 21 references providing results primary research studies plants infected (naturally or artificially) ST53.From experimental infectivity and from surveys in orchards, converging lines evidence indicate tolerance Leccino variety ST53 infections, although no long-term observations yield are...
After a request from the European Commission, EFSA's Panel on Animal Health and Welfare summarised main characteristics of 36 vector-borne diseases (VBDs) in web-based storymaps.The risk introduction EU through movement livestock or pets was assessed for each VBDs individually, using semiquantitative Method to INTegrate all relevant RISK aspects (MINTRISK model), which further modified scale into EFSA-VBD-RISK-model.Only eight VBD-agents had an overall rate (being combination entry, vector...
A feasibility study for producing a matrix reference material selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in baby food is reported. commercially available food, containing carrots, potatoes, tomato, white beans and meat, was spiked with the so-called 15 + 1 PAHs included priority list of EU, at mass fraction level μg/kg. The contaminated further processed by autoclaving, freezing or freeze drying. homogeneity three materials (bottle-to-bottle variation) their short-term (4 weeks)...
Abstract An on‐line liquid chromatography‐gas chromatography (LC‐GC) method for determination of the cis/trans isomers nervonic acid in meat‐derived food is described. The technique used a home‐assembled LC‐GC coupled system. A simple LC clean‐up procedure using an analytical gel permeation (5 μm) column and 1% ethyl acetate hexane as mobile phase has proved to be suitable isolation purification fatty methyl esters from meat matrix. Use silica pre‐column improved separation cholesterol more...
In 2014, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) started PROMETHEUS (PROmoting METHods for Evidence Use in Scientific assessments) project to improve further and increase consistency of methods it uses its scientific assessments. The defined a set principles assessment process 4-step approach (plan/carry out/verify/report) their fulfilment, which was tested ten case studies, one from each EFSA panel. present report describes benefits, issues, needs solutions related implementation EFSA,...
Synopsis The aim of this work was to verify if a close relationship exists between the physical stability an emulsion and chemical vitamin A palmitate included in it. Oil-in-water cosmetic emulsions with high viscoelastic properties were prepared, their rheological behaviour investigated oscillatory conditions. each sample verified high-temperature stress conditions: periodical checks parameters chromatographic analysis performed during storage. Results show that strictly depends on...
Maritime journeys are significantly depending on weather conditions and so meteorology have ever had a key role in maritime businesses. Nowadays, the new era of innovative machine learning approaches along with availability wide range sensors microcontrollers, creates increasing perspectives for providing onboard reliable short-range forecasting main meteorological variables. The goal current study is to propose algorithm, which will be coded into microcontroller able predict short-term wind...
The ability to properly compare RNA secondary conformations is of prominent importance in many structural investigations, and particularly the study non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Several different metrics have been proposed catch topological dissimilarities between structures, but so far specific metric features not assessed yet against extensive datasets. choice proper also crucial for characterization ensembles, be able proficiently analyze them. current availability large ncRNA databases has...
Directive 2003/17/EC of the European Parliament and Council stipulates that petrol (gasoline) with a total sulfur content below 10 mg kg-1 must be available in all Union member states by 2009. Three certified reference materials were produced support this directive joint effort members Reference Materials Initiative (ERM). Two made from commercial petrol, while third one was prepared blend petrols. Relative between-ampule heterogeneity quantified found to 2.5%. Potential degradation during...
