Comparative examinations to the rapid detection of Listeria monocytogenes in foods with molecular-biological methods and chromogenic media (Project)

The aim of this project is to optimise the detection procedure for Listeria monocytogenes with the use of selective chromogenic media and molecular-biological methods (PCR) and to reduce the time of detection. By applications of new technologies, the existence of Listeria in foods should be detected early. In addition it will be attempted to obtain an overview on the occurrence of L....

Examination of flame retardants with emphasis on polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in human mothers milk from Germany (Project)

A controlled study was started in 2001 to characterise the PBDE levels in human milk from Germany and to verify potential factors influencing PBDE levels. Two main hypotheses were proposed: 1) PBDE levels may be higher in milk fromm mothers who consume food of animal origin than in milk from mothers who do not. 2) PBDE levels in human mild may decrease during the period of breast feeding.

Investigation of the storage stability of pesticides (Project)

The storage stability of standard solutions that are used for quantification of pesticide residues is an important precondition for reliable data. Only limited data about the storage stability are available. Furthermore, the replacement of standard substances depending on the guarantee period given by the producer is an relevant expense factor. The storage stability of stock solutions should be...

Application of 2-DE-based proteomics for biomarker detection in human plasma (Project)

The application of methods of molecular toxicology is increasingly discussed also in the field of regulatory toxicology. A major issue is the question, wether these biochemical methods can be used to supplement conventional endpoints of health related toxicology. Mostly due to high costs, the use of methods of molececular toxicology (‘omics‘) is mainly restricted to pharmaceutical or industrial...

Influence of different extraction procedures on the recovery of pesticide residues analysed by liquid chromatographic methods (Project)

Comparison of 3 different methods of analysis, which are proposed by Sweden, the US and Germany, for simultaneous determination of pesticide residues. Discussion of the question which of these methods should be officially accepted as standard for the registration of pesticides.

International Validation of a new gas-chromatographic method for effective determination of pesticide residues (Project)

A new and effective method for pesticide residue analysis has been published in the US. Preliminary results of the BfR and the food control laboratory Stuttgart confirm the published data. The potential efficiency of this method should be evaluated by this international validation study. Depending on the results it can be decided if this new method can substitute the old multi-residue method DFG...

Comparison of the allergenic potential of produce of plant origin derived from organic farming with plant produce derived from conventional farming (Project)

The aim of the project is a comparative study on the allergenic potential of plants produced by organic versus conventional farming. Particularly allergenic proteins will be investigated revealing a high degree of structural homology to stress related proteins. Such proteins do occur under unfavourable conditions (e.g. following treatment with chemicals) and are also considered as marker for the...

Investigation of quality during processing and storage of selected products from Bio-trout and conventionally produced trout as a precondition for the preparation of a code of practice for handicraft trout-culture. (Project)

Trout were raised under standardized conditions (model test). Feed types and raising density corresponded to ecological and conventional breed requirements. Different ecofeeds were tested. Extruded ecofeed of the same manufacturer was proved clearly better than the pelleted one. The advantages of a high-quality conventional feed depended on the pellet size. Storage experiments at 2-4 °C with...

Collaborative project: Development of baking aids improving and enhancing the range of baked goods for celiacs – Subproject 3 (Project)

Within th cooperate project: 'Development of baking aids for the improvement and enhancement of the quality and variety of baked goods for celiac patients' the prerequisite fort he development of a new generation of baking aids we established. The qualitative and quantitative improvement of the lineup of glutenfree pseudocereals was achieved by the combined and optimized application of lactic...
