Examinations of poly- or perfluorinated compounds in food contact materials (Project)
Fluorinated and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) show a very high thermal and chemical stability and thus are used - frequently in mixtures - besides waxes and paraffin composites, for the manufacturing of grease and water resistant paper. Polyfluoro alkylphosphate esters (PAPs) and perfluoro acrylates are commonly applied as starting materials for surface modifications. In the meantime PFCs are...

Use of the high resolution Exactive mass spectrometer for the residue analysis of pharmacologically active substances (Transfer of pharmacologically active substances into food of plant origin) (Project)
Recent reports suggest that a transfer of veterinary drugs into food of plant origin after the application of manure on arable land is possible. Besides the parent compound metabolites may also occur in the plants. The extent of this transfer and its relevancy for food quality and the consumer health is not known, yet.Using the most recent mass spectrometric techniques this project will provide...

Determination of 2-and 3-MCPD-fatty acids esters in human milk (Project)
Free 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) has been known as a contaminant for a long time in various foods like liquid seasoning or bakery goods. Analysis by the German food control authorities in 2007 showed considerable amounts of 3-MCPD fatty acid esters in refined vegetable oils and fats as well as in other foods produced by use of these oils and fats. Since the fat component of infant...

Interaction between metabolism and transport of toxicologically relevant compounds in the gastrointestinal barrier (Project)
The interaction between the cytochrome P450-system, phase II xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) such as glutathione-S-transferases, UDP-glucuronosyl transferases and sulfotransferases, and ABC-transport proteins is an important part of the mucosa of the small intestine acting as a potential biochemical barrier for nutritional- and eco-toxicological relevant compounds. Intestinal resorption of...

NanoGEM: Nanostructured Materials - Health, Exposition and Material Properties (Project)
NanoGEM is going to analyze biological effects of nanomaterials with the goal to describe possible hazards for humans qualitatively and quantitatively. NanoGEM will built on the fundament established in the project NanoCare and further extent the knowledge by addressing certain additional issues. For the first time there will be a detailed evaluation of the effects triggered by systematic changes...

Determination of the amount of food thrown away and proposals to reduce the rate of disposable food in Germany (Project)
Data about food waste in Germany are sparse. The objective of this study is to give a summary about available data and information gaps concerning food waste in Germany, differentiated by waste generators (food producing industry, whole sale and retail, large-scale consumers, households), to provide an estimation of the quantities of food waste for the different waste generators in Germany, which...

Examination and drafting of Summary Datasheets on toxicity data related to the evaluation by the CEF Panel of substances to be used in food contact materials (Project)
Overall objective: Preparation of summary datasheets of toxicity data for the technical dossiers of substances, to be used in plastics or other food contact materials, seeking evaluation or reevaluation by the EFSA Scientific Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes, Favourings and Processing Aids (CEF Panel). The purpose of this evaluation is the authorisation of substances to be used in food...

Analysis of measures to reduce the emissions from livestock keeping in Northrhine-Westphalia (Project)
The project plans to give an overview about technical and management measures to reduce emissions from livestock keeping in the first step. The second step will be an economic as-sessment in order to identify efficient technical solutions for typical farm types adapted to the farm structure in NRW. The results are aimed to support policy decisions for decision makers in the state.

Claw lesions of breeding sows – rating, handling and prophylaxis (Project)
Claw lesions are an important contribution to the occurrence of lameness in sows. They are a highly prevalent lesions in many farms have different causes and other hygienic risk. Lameness is also an important reason for the premature sow removals. Despite the prevalence of claw lesions, studies on claw lesions in pigs are limited.The aim of the examination was to analyze the status quo of claw...

Use of mobile robotic mliking systems and specific strageties for grazing of dairy cows (Project)
The combination of low-input systems for dairy cows in pasture systems with the new technology of mobile robotic milking systems is absolutely unique in Central Europe. This innovative system offers an interesting alternative to year-round indoor livestock keeping with high input of concentrates to farmers in rural regions. Decreasing amount of work for manure management, forage production,...
