Development of late-blight (Phytophthora infestans) resistant breeding material for organic farming (Project)
A focussed breeding of potato varieties for organic farming in Germany shall be initiated by a network of organic farmers, potato breeders, and research institutes. Organic farmers shall be actively involved in the breeding process. The project aims at combining low susceptibility against late blight (Phytophthora infestans) with other positive resistance as well as quality traits in pre-breeding...

Investigations on metabolism of the skin with in vitro models (Project)
The exposure via skin and the possible formation of metabolites in / on the skin play an important role during the toxicological evaluation of consumer products with skin contact. For example azo dyes, which are applied in consumer products such as toys and clothing textiles and also for the colouring of cosmetics and as hair dyes, can be split by the microflora of the skin into aromatic amines....

Determination of perfluorinated compounds in simulants for contact with fatty food (simulant D) (Project)
At present perfluororinated organic tensides (PFT?s) are discussed controversially in techni-cal press and in the public. Due to it specific properties they are used in multiple applica-tions. For some PFT?s accumulation in environmental compartments and in the food chain is verified. In addition, it has been proven that they are persistent in man.One possible source of exposure with PFT?s are...

Expert toxicological assessment of smoke constituents (ETASC) (Project)
The general objective of the present project is to contribute to the reduction of smoking-related morbidity and mortality by supporting tobacco product regulation. The present project aims to develop an up to date and prioritised list of hazardous smoke components, together with the criteria on which the list is based. This list is an update of the so-called Hoffmann list, which needs revision as...

Support to complete EFSA's food consumption concise database (CFP/EFSA/DATEX/2007/01) - SuConDa (Project)
Exposure assessments, based on knowledge about the eating habits of consumers, are an important precondition for the health assessment of substances and germs. Only when up-to-date and differentiated food consumption data are available can health risks be realisti-cally assessed, risk groups or high risk eating habits identified, maximum levels established and the marketing authorisation...

Refinement of the LCSA (loose-fit coculture-based sensitization assay) (Project)
We are refining a new animal-free assay for determination of the sensitizing potential of a substance. The design of this assay is based on current immunological knowledge of pathogenesis of allergic contact dermatitis. It integrates human dendritic cells and keratinocytes, which are both known to be critically involved in-vivo. The read-out system uses molecular responses typically occurring...

Equine precision cut lung slices as an in vitro model of obstructive airway diseases for the identification and characterization of drug targets (Project)
Pharmacological drug effects on obstructive airway diseases are studied using equine precision cut lung slices (PCLS). An in vitro model of passive sensitisation will be established to simulate allergic airway reactions of the equine lung. Serum of sensitised horses and the responsible allergens are added to PCLS to induce a bronchoconstriction. The model will be used to study drug effects on...

Organic sensory information system (OSIS): 4.2 Qualitative consumer research (Project)
Sensory Experiences and Expectations of Organic Food. This report describes the main objectives and findings from a qualitative survey on consumers’ sensory experiences, expectations and preferences with respect to organic food. The survey was conducted in 2009 in Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland and Switzerland.

Organic sensory information system (OSIS): 4.3 Target Groups (Project)
Comparative report from quantitative consumer research. The findings of this study demonstrate the relevance of considering sensory dimensions for segmenting the market of organic consumers. Some interesting managerial implications have been drawn. The authors are aware that the application of sensory research on the market of organic products is still in its infancy and hope therefore that the...

Organic sensory information system (OSIS): 4.4 Marketing strategies (Project)
The outcomes of the quantitative consumer survey provided important information for the development of recommendations for organic processors and retailers. It became clear that despite concentrating already on one segment of the whole food market, namely the organic market, a further segmentation of organic consumers is justified due to their differences in consumption behaviour, sensory...
