Quantification of chlorinated paraffins and other organic contaminants in bee wax cloths used as food contact materials (FCM) (Project)

Chlorinated paraffins (CP) are alkane mixtures with varying chlorine content, legally classified as short-chain (SCCP), medium-chain (MCCP) and long-chain (LCCP) products. They are produced annually on a million-ton scale and are used as plasticizers, flame retardants, high-pressure lubricants and greasing agents, among other applications. Initial indications from China that beeswax may contain...

Strategies for more efficient oat breeding for organic farming (Project)

The chromosomal positions of selected resistance genes will be validated for the improvement of the durability of the resistance to smut (work package, WP1). For this purpose, suitable populations are genotyped and phenotyped for resistance. In the course of this work, lines with new resistance gene combinations are also being sought. In breeding practice, the question arises regarding the needed...
