COBRA - Coordinating Organic plant BReeding Activities for Diversity (Collaborative project)
...Plant breeding is a crucial factor in creating organic crop production systems that can better cope with such interacting stresses and producers need crop varieties with a) good resistance against pests and diseases, esp. seed borne diseases; b) the ability to react to environmental, esp. climatic variability; and c) high competitiveness against weeds. COBRA aims to support and develop organic plant breeding and seed production with a focus on increasing the use and potential of plant material with High genetic Diversity (Hi-D) in cereals (wheat and barley) and grain legumes (pea and faba bean) through coordinating, linking and expanding existing breeding and research. ...Also, it is currently unclear which plant breeding approaches, Hi-D-based or else, are most efficient to breed varieties for organic agriculture. Therefore, COBRA aims 1) to improve methods ensuring seed quality and health; 2) to determine the potential to increase resilience, adaptability, and overall performance in organic systems by using crop diversity at various levels; 3) to improve breeding efficiency and to develop novel breeding methods to enhance and maintain crop diversity; 4) to identify and remove structural barriers to organic plant breeding and seed production; and 5) to improve networking and dissemination in organic plant breeding. ...

In situ detection and characterization of organic nanoscale and microscale structures in biological matrices using scanning electron spectroscopy (Project)
...For classical scanning electron microscopic examination of hydrous biological samples (e.g., food, microorganisms, plants), these samples must be subjected to chemical fixation and dehydration for classical SEM analysis in order to be stable in the high vacuum of the SEM sample chamber. ...In order to determine the appropriate sample preparation method, comparative studies with the various available analysis variants are carried out and compared with the results of classical sample preparation with biological samples (chemical fixation and drying). Braun, H., Woitsch, L., Hetzer, B., Geisen, R., Zange, B. & Schmidt-Heydt, M. (2018). ...A., Hetzer, B., Kulling, S. E. & Huch, M. (2018).

Detection of shiga toxin-producing E. coli in cereal samples of the Besonderen Ernte- und Qualitätsermittlung (Project)
...Although STEC are reliably killed when "moist heat" is applied at temperatures above 70 °C, this is not applicable for dry flour products with approx. 13 % water content. ...STEC was recently shown to survive for up to 2 years in flour. Thus, according to the current statement No. 004/2020 of the BfR dated January 20, 2020, the probability of adverse health effects is possible due to EHEC/STEC in flour. ...For this purpose, the Department of Safety and Quality of Cereals (GE) in Detmold provides grain samples of the Besonderen Ernte- und Qualitätsermittlung (BEE), which will be investigated at both the institute’s GE and MBT for the detection of E. coli in parallel. The MBT institute provides the technical support and performs the confirmatory tests for presumptive STEC isolates. ...

FishFermPlus - Added-value bioprocessing for Fish raw materials via low-cost Fermentation technologies delivering a PLUS in the sustainable production, consumer safety and quality of highly sensitive fish products (Collaborative project)
...Under-utilised, high-quality raw materials from capture fishery and aquaculture production (e.g. homogenised fish flesh from fillet production) will be used for a novel fermentation process with higher cost-efficiency and a more simple implementation than previous mere extraction/purification methods. ...This will be achieved by a concerted applied research program involving 2 RTDs and 4 SME companies from 4 European countries who are dedicated (a) to develop a bioprocessing method under optimal fermentation conditions and process control; (b) to tailor adequate downstream processing to stabilise the processed materials and their functionality; (c) to apply the ingredients for a fish product range that achieves additional product-safety (assessed via viable counts, challenge tests, risk modeling), prolonged shelf-life (microbial, sensory) and high consumer acceptance (preference & concept testing); (d) to critically assess and to disseminate the positive impact of the project results and their contribution to the sustainable use of scarce aquatic resources and current waste minimisation strategies....

Nutrition and bone health in vegans and omnivores (Project)
...The Association of Vegetarians (VEBU) writes on its website that about 7.8 million vegetarians and 900,000 vegans are living in Germany. ...On the one hand, positive effects of a vegetarian and vegan diet are described in particular with regard to the development of an obesity and type 2 diabetes (Le and Sabate 2014). In a recent comprehensive review, it has been shown that a vegetarian diet is associated with a decreased risk of ischemic heart disease and cancer, and a vegan diet is also associated with a reduced risk of cancer (Dinu, Abbate et al., 2016). ...When asked about a possible vitamin deficiency, 95% reported that their own vegan diet was at risk for vitamin B12 deficiency and 36% that there was a risk of vitamin D deficiency, but other vitamins and micronutrients were only suggested by one person ( 2%). A recent study by 22 Finnish vegans with 19 age- and gender-matched controls showed that vegans exhibited more favorable fatty acid profiles in cardiometabolic diseases, but also showed significantly lower vitamin B12, vitamin D and selenium levels compared to the controls (Elorinne, Alfthan et al., 2016). ...

SPP 1315: Relating structure of organic chemicals to their sorption at biogeochemical interfaces by combining macroscopic, spectroscopic and calorimetric methods with molecular modelling (Project)
...We hypothesise that sorption and distribution of a polar organic chemical at biogeochemical interfaces is either determined by the molecules hydrophobic R-groups ('R-determined') or its functional groups ('F-determined'). To test our hypothesis we will study sorption of bisphenol A and fenhexamid (R-determined chemicals) and bentazone and naproxen (F-determined chemicals) in pure systems of minerals (kaolinite, illite, gibbsite and quartz), in model substances of biofilms (polygalacturonic acid and dextran), in combined systems of mineral phases with organic layers and in topsoils and subsoils. ...
