Building a nationwide network of consulting practice to share knowledge and comparison methods for farm comparisons (BV) and farm branch evaluations (BZA) (Project)

Between May 2004 and March 2007 the project has been carried out by the Foundation Ecology & Agriculture in Bad Dürkheim, together with 19 consultant agencies, 38 consultants and 370 farms. Normally the working groups have been accompanied by 1-2 scientists, who were integrated methodologically and in content. The project consisted of 5 working groups: Working group 1 -...

Extent of migration of unwanted substances from packaging materials made of waste paper in food (Project)

Relevant introduction of contaminants was determined for newspapers and other matter printed by the cold-set off-set technique (mineral oil, polyaromatic hydrocarbons), thermal printer paper (bisphenols A and S), glued products such as books and cardboard boxes (plasticizers). Optical brighteners were detected in all product groups. Mineral oil was the predominant contaminant. The recycling...

Detection of non-coli/jejuni Campylobacter species in different food matrices (Project)

Generally, routine microbiological detection methods for Campylobacter are applied to detect C. jejuni and C. coli. Nontheless, methods are needed to detect other Campylobacter speceisd as well. Threse species need specific conditions for recovery and identification (e.g. C. gracilis, C. hyointestinalis, C. showae, C. sputorum subsp. sputorum biovar faecalis need aerobic atmosphere; C. concisus,...

Detection of Viruses in Food using 'Molecularly Imprinted Polymers' (Project)

At present, the reliable and sensitive detection of viruses in food is the limiting step in attempts to verify food-borne infections and to determine criteria for the virological safety of foods. Especially, the concentration and purification of viruses from foods is difficult due to low amounts of virus within the food and the presence of substances which inhibit the detection system within...

Mass spectrometric characterisation/identification of microbial pathogens of Vibrio spp. '2010: Yersinia enterocolitica' (Project)

The identification of bacteria is performed traditionally by using a variety of biochemical tests and is usually very time consuming. In recent years, PCR methods have been frequently used for diagnosis. PCR techniques are faster than biochemical methods and are often used for subtyping pathogenic bacteria, e.g. the virulotyping, MLST, MLVA, etc. The MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry for identification...
