Nanoproducts for Plant Care and Protection (Project)

Various authorities, expert groups, workshops and NGOs have concluded that current and future commercial applications of engineered nanomaterials in sectors related to food and feed production require close monitoring and that the physicochemical nature of these nanomaterials in-situ (within the product) needs characterisation (EFSA-Q-2007-124, 6.BfR-Forum Verbraucherschutz 2008, SCENIHR 2007)....

Dietary trans-fatty acids: Role of nuclear receptors in risk evaluation of trans-fatty acids with regard to their effects in colorectal cancer (Project)

Trans-fatty acids (TFAs) are primary generated by industrial oil hardening and deodorization of vegetable oil with a high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Foodstuffs like cookies, snacks (chips, popcorn etc.) fries, chicken nuggets etc. contain a high amount of TFAs. The correlation between consumption of high amounts of TFAs and an increased risk of coro-nary heart disease is approved by...

Bioavailability of 3-MCPD and 3-MCPD fatty acid esters (Project)

The thermal treatment of fat-containing foodstuff in the presence of salt leads to the forma-tion o 3-MCPD fatty acid esters. Upon hydrolytic cleavage, these substances could release 3-MCPD. Some studies on the toxicological characterisation of 3-MCPD are available, and the risk potential of this substance has been assessed by the BfR (experts opinion from July 9th 2003). 3-MCPD is not genotoxic...

Fast methods for authentication of organic plant based foods (AuthenticFood) (Project)

In AuthenticFood a wide range of analytical methods have been developed and validated for authentication of organic plant products. These have been applied to plant samples from Danish and Italian field trials and independent test set samples. It has been shown that several analytical methods have the potential to authenticate the geographical and/or the agricultural origin of plant products....

Development and optimization of ecological ornamental plants as part of a network from leading companies and experimenter (Project)

The project aims to support and optimize the ornamental plant cultivation in its current development to sustainable and ecological production. Among the companies that already produce fully organic is becoming apparent that organic production of ornamental plants while maintaining or improving quality is possible. In order to help businesses develop sustainable and organic production, are within...
