Integrated chemical and biological monitoring as demanded by international conventions (Project)

Measuring one single contaminant, doesn't answer the question if the fish is healthy. Are other contaminats present too? Are deleterious effects of the contaminants detectable or might the fish be ill? All these aspects have to be looked at together - in an integrated way. Integrated monitoring and the ecosysteme approach in environmental assesment are the core topics of the European Marine...

Toxic impact of contaminants assessed with the zebrafish embryo model system (Project)

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is one of the favourite organisms for developmental biologists and for toxicologists.The embryonal stage of this fish is completed in a few days and can be observed easyly due to the transparent chorion. The early life stage test with zebrafish eggs can help to assess toxic impact of pollutants by orbservation of developmental abberations in the embryo. Briefly,...

Molecular-epidemiological studies on the antibiotic resistance of bacteria with zoonotic relevance (Project)

The emergence of multiresistant bacterial isolates is a relevant threat to the health of humans and causes substantial costs in the public health system. Multiresistant bacteria can be transmitted from apparently healthy and diseased animals to humans. The aim of the study is to elucidate the development of resistance to antibiotics in zoonotic bacteria using molecular-epidemiological approaches....

Enzymatic Reduction of antinutritive factors (Project)

Several food products contain a relative high amount of antinutritive factors. Some of these factors interfere for example with the absorption of minerals and trace elements and may therefore contribute to mineral deficiency in humans. Some of the antinutritive factors are pH- and heat-stable which results in almost no reduction during food processing. With enzymes a reduction of antinutritive...

UV-C-Treatment of liquid food (Project)

Corrales, M., de Souza, P. M., Stahl, M. R., & Fernández, A. (2012). Effects of the decontamination of a fresh tiger nuts' milk beverage (horchata) with short wave ultraviolet treatments (UV-C) on quality attributes. Innovative Food Science & Emerging Technologies, 13, 163-168. doi:10.1016/j.ifset.2011.07.015 Onyenekwe, P. C., Stahl, M., & Adejo, G. (2012). Post-irradiation changes of the...

Metabolism and biological activity of components of fruit and vegetables (Project)

The metabolism of phytochemicals by endogenous enzyme systems and by the human gut microbiota significantly impacts the physiological effects of fruit and vegetables and products thereof. Research activities focus on biologically active secondary plant compounds, e.g. isoflavones, diferulic acids, polymethoxylated flavonoids and stilbenes (resveratrol and its oligomers). Their phase I and phase...

Determination of metabolite profiles of fruit and vegetable products and their correlation with quality parameters (Project)

Fresh fruit and vegetables as well as foods made thereof contain a broad spectrum of compounds like sugars, amino acids, organic acids, phenolics or sterols. The entirety of the compounds in the fruit or the respective food forms the metabolite profile. The composition of this profile and the concentrations of the individual compounds may depend on several factors, as the variety, weather, growth...

Application of untargeted metabolome analyses for assessment and safety and quality of plant-derived foods (Project)

Fruit and vegetables as well as plant-derived foods contain a high number of substances. Most of them are endogenous metabolites. However, some of them may be formed under certain circumstances as in case of microbial contamination or technological processing and may thus reduce product quality or even pose a risk for consumers. Unexpected and especially unknown compound can only be detected...
