The use of nanomaterials in the food and feed chain is expected to keep increasing years come. While this brings exciting prospects both industry consumers, it also entails important considerations regarding their risk assessment potential detrimental effects following human exposure. Aiming standardise nanomaterials, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has recently published a new guidance where vitro tests are indicated play key role. Here, we summarise latest EFSA aiming bring wider...
Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are hypothesised to play a key role in the microbiota-gut-brain crosstalk. However, studies that evaluate effect of microbiota-targeted interventions, such as prebiotics, probiotics or diet still sparse, particularly humans. In this work, products fermentation prebiotic-enriched media by bacteria from primary human faecal samples were tested on differentiated Caco-2/HT29-MTX co-cultures. The prebiotics raftilose and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) tested,...
