Kinetics of short-chain and alternative PFAS in humans (Project)
The ubiquitous contamination of the environment and food chain with per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) has led to internal human exposure, which can be detected in everyone's blood. The focus here is on the so-called long-chain compounds (C8 and more for carboxylic acids, C6 and more for sulfonic acids) because they have extremely long half-lives in humans, in the range of years....

Development of analytical method for identification and quantification of tattoo pigments and inks (Project)
Although tattoo pigments are generally substances of low solubility, detailed investigations of their solubility under physiological condition are needed. Besides dissolved pigment material, releases from the pigments can include contaminations, degradation products – especially from UV-/light-radiation – or metabolites. Within this project, tattoo inks and the respective tattoo pigments will...

Potential influence of methylisothiazolinone on processes of antigen presentation and inflammation (Project)
According to the current understanding of human contact allergy (type IV), chemicals such as MI (=MIT, methylisothiazolinone) or MI/MCI (MI/methylchloroisothiazolinone) - which are also frequently used as preservatives in cosmetics - bind as haptens to proteins (self-proteins) or peptides and form so-called T-cell epitopes, which can trigger an MI allergy. These are not known for MI. At the same...

Development of analytical methods for the characterization of the emissions of volatile and semi-volatile substances from consumer products (Project)
People living in industrialized nations spend the majority of their time in indoor environments, thus the quality of indoor air plays an increasing important role for the human health. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one group of substances, which pollute the indoor air. They can be emitted from construction products, furnishing and other consumer products, such as toys, clothing and...

Influence of Nutrition on the Microbiota and its Impact on Human Physiology (Project)
A healthy diet exerts its positive effects on human physiology not only through nutrients directly absorbed by the body but also through interactions with the intestinal microbiota. Particularly, a diet high in various plant-based foods, recommended also from a sustainability perspective, supplies the gut microbiota with a diverse mixture of different fibers, secondary plant compounds, and other...

Establishing an in vitro Test Battery for Enhanced Assessment of migration solution from Food Contact Materials (Project)
Food contact materials (FCMs) play an essential role in global food supply chain, ensuring food safety and reducing waste. However, the potential migration of chemicals from FCMs into food raises concerns, posing health risks for consumers. Current risk assessment strategies, particularly in dealing with non-intentionally added substances (NIAS), present challenges in addressing the comprehensive...

Implementation and development of methods for elemental composition determination of samples using ICP-MS (Project)
Since the beginning of 2023, the PB Institute has had a state-of-the-art triple quadrupole ICP-MS for determining the elemental composition of samples. The primary aim is to establish robust methods for routine analysis across all the Institute's projects. Methods for water, plant and soil samples are being adapted to more complex and demanding matrices such as organic and mineral fertilisers....

FOOD INSPECTOR - NOVEL TOOLS TO AUTHENTICATE FOOD QUALITIES AND FOOD LABELING OF MEAT (Project)
Since 2014 EU food laws stipulate compulsory labelling for several meat quality features. The new regulation was conceived to normalize food labelling, safety standards and to provide consumers with adequate data to make an informed decision when purchasing food. Specifically, (EU) No 1169/2011 requires producers to mark if meaty foods have been previously frozen. Yet, no testing standard for...

Capacity Building European Excellence Label (Project)
Challenge: Risk Assessment (RA) is a not very well-known scientific discipline. Thus, sufficient training opportunities in the field of RA are limited, which leads to a growing need for Capacity Building in food and feed RA. Project objective: The project aims to establish a European Excellence Label (EEL) by 2025, which is useed as a seal of quality for courses in Food Safety RA. The EEL...
