The current study is based on the AFM1 contamination of milk, determined from April 2013 to December 2018 in framework a self-control plan 6 milk processing plants Italy. These data – together with consumption consumers were evaluated and used for calculation Estimated Daily Intake (EDI), Hazard Index (HI) fraction hepatocarcinoma cases (HCC) due exposure different population groups. Altogether total 31,702 samples analyzed, representing 556,413 tons which an outstanding amount compared...
Abstract Behaviour is considered among the most important factors in colonising new habitats. While population divergence behaviour well-documented, intraspecific variation exploratory species with populations successfully and adapting to extreme (compared ‘typical’) habitats less understood. Here, by studying surface- vs. cave-adapted of water louse ( Asellus aquaticus ), we tested whether (i) adaptation special, ecologically isolated cave habitat includes a decrease explorativeness (ii)...
Aflatoxin contamination can appear in various points of the food chain. If animals are fed with contaminated feed, AFB1 is transformed-among others-to aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) metabolite. AFM1 less toxic than AFB1, but it still genotoxic and carcinogenic present raw processed milk all kinds products. In this article, chronic exposure estimation risk characterization Hungarian consumers presented, based on dairy products, calculated a probabilistic method, two-dimensional Monte-Carlo model. The...
The sampling uncertainty for pesticide residues in carrots, parsley leaves and selected medium size crops was estimated with simple random by applying range statistics. primary samples taken from treated fields consisted of individual carrots or a handful leaves. were analysed QUEChERs extraction method LCMS/MS detection practical LOQ 0.001 mg/kg. results indicate that the average uncertainties statistics practically same. confidence interval decreased number replicate one lot lots sampled....
The pesticide usages are controlled by comparing residue concentrations in treated commodities to legally permitted maximum levels (MRLs) determined based on supervised trials designed reflect likely residues occurring practice following authorised use. number of available may significantly affect the accuracy estimated residues. We conducted a study with synthetic lognormal distributions mean 1 and standard deviations 0.8 1.0, which observed practice. samples were modelled drawing random...
The study reports the results of testing sensitivity an early warning sampling plan for detecting milk batches with high aflatoxin AFM1 concentration. effectiveness method was investigated by analysis 9017 samples collected in Italian processing plants that applied control plans different action limits (AL). For those where 30 ng kg-1 AL has been applied, contamination significantly lower at or above 95th percentile when compared used 40 AL. show can be effectively occurrence and to carry...
Identification of emerging risks in the food chain is essential if EFSA to anticipate future needs risk assessment, relation both data and methodology. The objectives research proposed DEMETER project were specifically designed support current (and future) procedures for issue identification by providing community resourcesto allow EU Member State authorities share data, knowledge methods on a rapid effective manner through digital platform. To this end, an “Emerging Risk Knowledge Exchange...
Researchers, governments, agencies, food producers and the civil society are increasingly concerned about ‘emerging risks’. It is recognised that successful identification of emerging risks at heart protecting public health environment, this requires worldwide cooperation between all parties involved in supply chain. The objectives research proposed DEMETER project designed to support current (and future) EFSA procedures for issue identification, providing a community resource will allow EU...
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) contamination in 21 969 milk samples taken Italy during 2005–08 and 2010 provided the basis for designing an early warning self-control plan. Additionally, 4148 AFM1 data points from mycotoxin crisis (2003–04) represented worst case. No parametric function a good fit skewed scattered concentrations. The acceptable reference values, reflecting combined uncertainty of measured consignments consisting one to six farms, ranged 40 16.7 ng kg−1, respectively. Asymmetric control...
Abstract Background Pesticide residues are analyzed in thousands of samples yearly by national authorities and private laboratories. Intensive research is ongoing to develop new methods or improve existing ones concentrating on extraction, cleanup, detection techniques. Little attention has been paid the contribution prior steps determination process overall laboratory sampling errors, though several publications demonstrate their practical importance. Consequently, repeatability...
The mycotoxin contamination of foods also appears in the food chain. Aflatoxin is metabolized animals and its aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) metabolite, which similarly, but ten times less genotoxic carcinogenic than B1 (AFB1), present milk, liver eggs. Of these, most significant safety risk posed by milk with AFM1. In our article, deterministic exposure estimation Hungarian consumers presented, based on AFM1 dairy products. results indicate that children under three years age clearly poses a health...
A takarmányok mikotoxin szennyezettsége megjelenik az élelmiszerláncban. Az aflatoxinok állatok szervezetében metabolizálódnak és metabolitjuk, aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) – amely B1-hez (AFB1) hasonlóan, de annál tízszer kisebb mértékben genotoxikus rákkeltő a tejben, májban, valamint tojásban is. Ezek közül legjelentősebb élelmiszerbiztonsági kockázatot tej AFM1 szennyezése jelenti. Cikkünkben bemutatjuk magyar fogyasztók tejtermékek alapján determinisztikus módszerrel számított...
