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...

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....

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...

NAM projects in the areas of AOP development and transcriptomics for risk assessment - LOT 2 (Project)
The assessment of an increasing number of chemicals in a way that better protects human health, requires a paradigm shift in the safety assessment of chemicals. It should involve an interdisciplinary approach that integrates the different types of knowledge and data derived from human relevant NAMs in a mechanism-based framework (Beal et al., 2022; Krewski et al., 2020). A NAM-based...

Testing and assessment of approaches for automated spICP-MS evaluation methods using machine learning (Project)
This project aims to evaluate the applicability of Machine Learning (ML) approaches for a harmonised, automated data evaluation of single particle measurements using inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS). Therefore, existing and specifically generated spICP-MS data sets will be employed by the Fraunhofer ITWM to test selected ML approaches (proof-of.concept). Their ability to...

Quality-assured development of a human sample collection with accompanying biomarker analysis as part of the COPLANT (COhort on PLANT-based Diets) study (Project)
The overall aim of the project is to establish a cohort of approximately 6000 healthy individuals following different diets (vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, mixed) and to obtain valuable data on the development of the general health status of the population. Clinical biomarkers will be measured mostly fully-automated according to high technological standards to show potential relations between...

Plant-based milk alternatives: nutritional and health aspects in children (Project)
Cow's milk has been a staple food for humans for thousands of years. It plays an important role in current nutritional recommendations for children and adolescents. Recently, plant-based milk alternatives based on cereals, pulses or nuts have increasingly been marketed as substitutes for cow's milk. Also in children, cow's milk is increasingly being replaced by these so-called plant drinks. Data...

Loss of immuno-reactive O-antigen in Salmonella enterica (Project)
The differentiation of Salmonella isolates is classically based on the serotyping of the O-antigen and the H-antigens by means of slide agglutination using the White-Kauffmann-Le Minor scheme. The National Reference Laboratory for Salmonella receives about 3-5% of Salmonella annually that can not longer be typed due to the loss of O-antigen reactive units. However, whole-genome sequencing (WGS)...
