Chronic high consumption of energy drinks and cardiovascular risk in adolescents (Project)
The BfR is not aware of any published studies with regard to the effects of chronically high energy drink consumption on the cardiovascular system. In the context of an expert discussion “Possible effects of coffeine on the cardiovascular system of children and adolescents” (BfR, 2017) a. reported on a number of cases in which cardiology of the heart was observed in connection with long-term,...

Data generation on microbiological risks along the food chain (Project)
The transmission and spread of food-associated pathogens along the food chain is a complex process. Even before plant and animal food is obtained, pathogens can be introduced into stocks and multiply. In the subsequent stages of food production, a spread to the food is possible. In the subsequent processing steps, there is also the risk of new pathogens from the process environment or from the...

Determination of chlorinated paraffins in food contact materials based on PCV and others (Project)
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are alkane mixtures with varying chlorine content, legally classified as short-chain (SCCPs), medium-chain (MCCPs) and long-chain (LCCPs) products. They are produced annually on a million-ton scale and are used, among other things, as plasticizers, flame retardants, high-pressure lubricants and greasing agents. Due to their substance properties, their use in rubber and...

Determination of chlorinated paraffins in nut nougat- or chocolate cream based on palm oil (Project)
Chlorinated paraffins (CP) are classified into short-chain (SCCP), medium-chain (MCCP) and long-chain (LCCP) chlorinated paraffins. Recent findings in dietary supplements (vitamin E dragees), which were made on the basis of palm oil, showed high CP concentrations. From perspective of early risk detection, further data on the occurrence of CP in foods produced on palm oil basis are necessary. From...

Rural Entrepreneurship (Project)
Entrepreneurship can have a positive impact on the development of industries and regions. However, the incidence, causes and effects of entrepreneurship differ significantly between rural and non-rural regions. These differences have not yet been adequately studied.Entrepreneurship describes activities that are concerned with founding or establishing and managing a new company. Type, scale, and...

Product chains from biomass from rewetted fen peatlands in Lower Saxony (Project)
How can we optimize greenhouse gas mitigation, nutrient retention and biomass yield in fen paludicultures?The majority of the peatlands in Germany is drained for agriculture and forestry and thus responsible for a large share of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculturally used land. One option to reduce emissions is “paludiculture”, i.e. agriculture or forestry on rewetted peatlands....

Forest Landuse potentials and Ecosystem Service Restoration in Africa (Project)
Restoring forest lands at the landscape level contributes to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) e.g. hunger, poverty, well-being and life on land especially in poor communities of sub-Saharan Africa.Thünen’s research goal is the comprehensive analysis of options and restrictions of forest restoration and a development of best-practice concepts for one or more regions in Africa. Within this...

Typical farms of German aquaculture (Project)
While the global aquaculture production is steadily increasing, a stagnation of the German aquaculture sector can be observed. What are the main drivers behind these regional differences? Researchers from the Thünen Institute are now working on answers to this question.The world population is increasing. In this context, there is a growing need for animal protein. Fish products are a good...

What happens to feed-borne antioxidants? (Project)
Fish is widely regarded as a healthy food. This is not least due to the polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially the omega-3 fatty acids. These come from the fish feed. To protect these fatty acids from decay, antioxidants are added to the fish feed. In our project we are investigating whether antioxidants from fish feed accumulate in the water of recirculation aquaculture systems and in the fish...

Development of standardised, nonlethal sampling methods for cavity-nesting wild bees (Project)
Changes in land-use and farm management have led to a sharp decline in wild bees. In order to understand the underlying cause-effect relationships for this decline, standardised nonlethal sampling methods are being developed for a wild bee monitoring scheme.Wild bees can be recorded in a variety of ways in the field. Common methods include transect walks or the installation of pan traps. In...
