Spray drift-based pesticide residues on untreated edible crops grown near agricultural areasSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 17 - Trang 21-31 - 2022
Hannah Bolz, Christian Sieke, Britta Michalski, Ralf B. Schäfer, Roland Kubiak
We aimed to quantify spray drift-based exposure of fruits and vegetables grown in gardens or allotments next to agricultural areas to plant protection products (PPP). The amount of spray drift transported into gardens during the treatment of tall growing crops or field crops was simulated. Two different test systems in an outdoor wind tunnel were used, approximating conditions for the application ...... hiện toàn bộ
In Vitro Exposure Systems and Bioassays for the Assessment of Toxicity of Nanoparticles to the Human LungSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 319-329 - 2008
Hanns.-R. Paur, S. Mülhopt, C. Weiss, S. Diabaté
The rapid development of nanotechnology requires the production of nanoparticles which are found in numerous novel products. To reduce the number of animal tests during the assessment of lung toxicity of airborne nanoparticles in vitro exposure systems and lung specific bioassays have been developed. The reproducible application of bioassays for exposure of lung cells at the air-liquid interface p...... hiện toàn bộ
Hygienic aspects of using wooden and plastic cutting boards, assessed in laboratory and small gastronomy unitsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 317-322 - 2015
Friedrich-Karl Lücke, Agnieszka Skowyrska
There is a long-term controversy on the safety of using hardwood cutting boards in food preparation. This study was designed to compare three types of cutting boards (maple, beech wood, polyethylene) in the laboratory and in a small gastronomic unit. Samples for microbiological analysis were collected by a swabbing method from the boards’ surfaces that had been contaminated with a defined meat–egg...... hiện toàn bộ
Challenges for the food industry in controlling the transmission of SARS-CoV-2Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 243-251 - 2023
Caciano Pelayo Zapata Noreña, Adriano Brandelli
This article aims to present an updated discussion about the relevant aspects of SARS-CoV-2 transmission in food systems and challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic for food industries. To accomplish this review, data from relevant papers describing the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security were retrieved from selected databases. The lessons learned by the food industry after facin...... hiện toàn bộ
Changes of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol levels in crackers and biscuits during storageSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 11 - Trang 317-324 - 2016
Anna Sadowska-Rociek, Ewa Cieślik
We investigated the changes of free 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol content in two groups of shortcrust pastry samples (salty crackers and sweet biscuits) stored under different conditions. The experiment involved an impact assessment of 2 packaging types (paper and polyethylene), different storage time (from 1 to 5 months) and sunlight exposure. Our results show a significant decrease in compound l...... hiện toàn bộ
