Colilert® applied to food analysis

Risk analysis applied to food fortification.

OBJECTIVE To describe how a risk analysis can be applied to food fortification, with emphasis on voluntary fortification and intake levels that might exceed usual dietary levels. DESIGN Use of the risk analysis model as a frame to classify nutrients according to the risk of exceeding upper safe intake levels. Furthermore, to apply the model when discussing possible consequences of liberal for...

Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction for the Analysis of Veterinary Drugs Applied to Food Samples: A Review

To achieve analytical success, it is necessary to develop thorough clean-up procedures to extract analytes from the matrix. Dispersive solid phase extraction (DSPE) has been used as a pretreatment technique for the analysis of several compounds. This technique is based on the dispersion of a solid sorbent in liquid samples in the extraction isolation and clean-up of different analytes from comp...

EEG Analysis Applied to Sleep

The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a complex signal and an important brain state indicator (e.g. waking, sleep, seizure). Modern brain research is intimately linked to the feasibility to record the EEG and to its quantitative analysis. EEG spectral analysis (decomposing a signal into its constituent frequency components) is an important method to investigate brain activity. Basic principals of s...

Integrated strategy for mutagenicity prediction applied to food contact chemicals.

Food contamination due to unintentional leakage of chemicals from food contact materials (FCM) is a source of increasing concern. Since for many of these substances, only limited or no toxicological data are available, the development of alternative methodologies to establish rapidly and cost-efficiently level of safety concern is critical to ensure adequate consumer protection. Computational t...
